    Get damaging news articles removed

    We pursue removal, correction or de-indexing of articles that harm a person or business.

    • Articles that make false statements of fact
    • Syndicated copies on news portals and aggregators
    • Posts on contributor media and investigative blogs
    • Claims citing filings that do not exist
    • Outdated stories missing later facts
    • Search results that surface any of the above

    Each publisher and platform has its own process, so we choose the right route for each article: a documented correction request, a legal demand or a search-engine submission. We assess yours free.

    How it works

    How News Article Removal Works

    1. 01

      Free Article Assessment

      We read the article, check its sources and filings, note where it is hosted or syndicated and choose the strongest route to removal, correction or de-indexing.

    2. 02

      Evidence Preparation

      We assemble documents that show what is false or outdated, such as regulatory records, court records and correspondence, and preserve the original pages.

    3. 03

      Publisher and Legal Escalation

      We contact publishers and aggregators with specific, documented requests and work with defamation counsel when a legal claim is warranted.

    4. 04

      De-Indexing and Follow-Up

      We submit search-engine requests, follow up until resolved, push the result out of search and monitor for reposts and copies.

    We rely on evidence and lawful routes, never on pressure or payment to a publisher.

    What we get removed, and the hard cases we take on

    What we get removed

    • Articles with demonstrably false statements of fact
    • Claims citing regulatory actions or filings that do not exist
    • Copied photos, text or other material you own
    • Personal data such as addresses or financial account details
    • Aggregator copies once the source is corrected
    • Stories updated or clarified for later developments

    Hard cases we take on

    • Accurate but damaging reporting: we pursue updates, clarifications and de-indexing
    • Outlets with a no-removal policy: we build the factual or legal angle they respond to
    • Anonymous or overseas operators: we work through hosts, registrars and search engines
    • Aggregator copies: we go to the original publisher and follow it through
    • Established articles that rank for your name: we combine de-indexing with new authoritative results

    Why Our Removal Approach Works

    We build the case each publisher, platform and search engine acts on.

    • Evidence-led requests, not generic demands
    • Defamation counsel where claims exist
    • Specialists who handle these cases daily
    • De-indexing routes prepared in-house
    • Confidential handling and follow-up until resolved

    Aggregators are protected for the content they distribute under Section 230, so we go to the original publisher and, where needed, a legal order. Once an article is corrected or removed, we also push it out of search so the result holds.

    Typical scenarios

    Situations We Handle on News Sites

    01

    Article Citing a Filing That Does Not Exist

    A trade publication article alleges a regulatory action against an executive that was never filed.

    → We gather proof from the regulator, send the editor a documented correction request and involve defamation counsel if needed.

    Our goal: Article corrected or removed, with syndicated copies updated

    02

    Syndicated Story on an Aggregator

    A story appears on a news portal that republishes content written by another outlet.

    → We trace the original publisher, make the request there and follow it through to the copies.

    Our goal: Syndicated copy removed once the source is corrected or withdrawn

    03

    Out-of-Date Story Ranking for Your Name

    An old article still ranks first and does not mention that the matter was later resolved.

    → We request an update from the publisher and file outdated-content and de-indexing requests with the search engines.

    Our goal: Article updated or de-indexed so current facts appear in search

    FAQ

    News article removal questions

    Can you get this news article removed?

    We pursue removal, correction or de-indexing through the publisher, the platform or the courts. Articles with false statements of fact, claims citing filings that do not exist, and syndicated copies of a corrected story are the strongest cases. We assess yours free and choose the route most likely to work.

    What can be done about aggregators like MSN, Yahoo Finance or PressReader?

    They republish or distribute articles written by others, so the strongest route runs through the original publisher, which carries the liability. Once the source is corrected or withdrawn, we follow it through to the aggregator copies and file search-engine requests for any that remain.

    Can articles on sites like Grit Daily, CEO Official Magazine or BehindMLM be removed?

    Each outlet has its own editorial approach, so we tailor the route. For contributor and trade publications we send documented requests citing the specific false statements. For investigative outlets we build the factual or legal angle they respond to, with defamation counsel where false facts are provable.

    What if the article is accurate but out of date?

    We ask the publisher for an update or clarification that reflects later developments, such as a dismissal or an acquittal, and file outdated-content and, where they apply, right-to-be-forgotten requests with Google. Together these change what people see when they search.

    Does de-indexing remove the article?

    De-indexing removes the URL from Google and Bing results while the page itself may stay online. It is the layer that locks in the result, because most of the damage happens when people search your name.

    Do you guarantee removal?

    We cannot guarantee removal. Payment on removal is available to eligible US clients; we may ask for an escrow or deposit, and clients outside the US pay through escrow or a deposit. Every decision is the publisher’s, the platform’s or the court’s, so we assess your case first and confirm the strongest route and the terms in writing before we start.

    What mistakes weaken a news article removal?

    Avoid these mistakes and your request is far stronger: demanding removal because an article is unflattering rather than showing what is false; threatening legal action you will not follow through; offering payment to a publisher; and sending several uncoordinated requests. Send us the links instead and we will build one request with evidence.
