Fewer bad search results
News sites rank very high on Google. An updated or unpublished story stops leading with the worst part.
We ask American editors to update, correct, or unpublish unfair stories, and use Google's own tools to clear old search results.
Where US news stories show up
Many US newsrooms have their own rules for old stories.
A clear request with court papers or other proof attached.
Google's own tools, once the story has changed.
Send us a link to the story and tell us what has changed since it was published. We will reply within one business day.
The US protects the press more strongly than almost anywhere, and there is no "right to be forgotten" law. That makes removal harder, but not hopeless. Many editors will update or correct a story when you show them proof, and some will unpublish old stories about minor cases.
We respect the free press. We only ask for changes to stories that are false, outdated, or share private details, and we never pay or pressure anyone to pull a fair story.
Employers, landlords, and clients in the US often search your name first. An old story can answer for you before you get the chance.
News sites rank very high on Google. An updated or unpublished story stops leading with the worst part.
A story that never mentioned the dismissal or the outcome tells only half the truth.
Hiring managers and clients search names. A fixed story gives them the real picture.
False claims can scare off partners and lenders. Fixing them lowers that risk.
US law gives editors the final say. These are the honest routes that work best there.
Stories that left out a dismissal, an acquittal, or a later fact that changes everything.
How we do itA request to the editor, with court records attached
Some US newsrooms now review old stories about minor cases, and may remove a name or the whole story.
How we do itThe paper's own unpublishing or "fresh start" process
Stories with false facts that damage you may be defamation. That route needs a lawyer.
How we do itCorrections first, legal steps with your lawyer
After a story changes, Google can still show the old headline for a while.
How we do itGoogle's refresh outdated content tool
Wire stories get copied by many local sites. Your photo may also be used without permission.
How we do itRequests to each site, and copyright notices for photos
When a story is true and the editor says no, we help the right results rank higher.
How we do itTrue, positive content that ranks above it
An accurate story about a public matter is usually protected in the US, and many states have laws that punish weak legal threats against the press. In those cases we do not push harder. We push the story down instead.
We have no special deal with any newspaper. Each one has its own way to handle corrections and old stories, and we follow it.
Corrects errors and adds updates. It rarely deletes old stories, so an update is often the goal.
A news agency. Its stories are copied by many local sites, so one fix may need several follow-ups.
Owned by a group that runs many local papers, so one story can appear on more than one site.
Has both video and text versions of many stories. Each may need its own request.
Publishes staff stories and outside contributor posts. Each type has a different contact route.
Often the most open to updates. Some have formal policies for old stories about minor cases.
Six clear steps. At each one, you know what we are doing and what you will get.
You send the link. We note what is false, old, or missing, like a dismissed case.
You getA free news article check
We look up the paper's correction and unpublishing policy, and who handles requests.
You getThe right contact and route
Court dismissals, expungement orders, or records that show what really happened.
You getA tidy evidence file
A short, polite request to the editor, based on their own policy.
You getA copy of every request sent
Once the story changes, we ask Google to refresh its old version.
You getUpdated search results
We track copies on other sites and push down anything fair that stays.
You getAlerts and a monthly report
A building contractor was arrested after a dispute with a client. The case was dismissed, but a local news story about the arrest still came up first on Google.
The paper had a process for reviewing old stories about minor cases that were later dropped.
We asked the editor to review the story, with the court's dismissal attached. The paper unpublished it.
Google refreshed its old result after our request. One aggregator site kept its copy, so we pushed it down.
This is an example to show how we work. It is not a real client.
| Item | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Local news story | Name in the headline | Unpublished by the paper |
| Google result | Old headline on page 1 | Gone after a refresh |
| Copy on another site | Online | Stayed, now on page 3 |
| New stories | Nobody watching | Alerts when they appear |
An old arrest or a false story can feel like it will never go away. Here is what working with us feels like.
One contact who knows your story and answers your questions.
If the US press rules make removal unlikely, we tell you before you pay.
You always know which editors we contacted and what they said.
You can email an editor yourself, and sometimes it works. Here is why many people still ask us to help.
We use editors' own policies and Google's own tools. No threats and no tricks.
We handle your case quietly, so the story does not get stirred up again.
A big national site and a small local paper need very different requests.
We know how American editors handle corrections, updates, and old stories.
We know when Google can refresh or remove a result, and when it can't.
We keep watching for copies after the work is done, so the story stays fixed.
Sometimes. A US editor may unpublish, update, or correct a story, especially when it is false, out of date, or about a minor case that was dropped. Only the publisher can remove a story from its own site. We help you ask in the right way, with the right proof.
Then we look at other honest options. Google may still remove some results, such as pages that show private contact details. If the story stays, we push it down with true, positive content, so it is not the first thing people see.
It depends on the newsroom. Some editors reply in days, and some take months or never reply. We give you an honest idea at the start and keep you updated, but we never promise a date.
When a publisher unpublishes a story, it is usually gone for good from that site. But copies can live on other sites, so we check for them and deal with each one.
Yes. We watch for copies of the story on other sites and in search results, and we tell you if anything comes back.
No, and nobody honestly can. In the US, editors decide what stays on their site, and the law protects them strongly. We promise an honest check, a strong request, and clear updates.
No. We are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice. If you need to clear a record or take legal action over a false story, we suggest you speak to a lawyer, and we can work alongside them.
