The short version
Take one link at a time. The site that runs a page decides what’s on it, and Google decides what shows in search, so ask the site first and then ask Google to catch up. Start by saving the link and a dated screenshot.

Get the steps, letters and official forms for your situation.
Check exact search terms
Search your name with location, business, old names, review terms, article terms and image results. Small query changes can show different risks.
Capture titles and snippets
Google snippets can be more damaging than the page itself. Save the result title, snippet, URL, date and screenshot before it changes.
Check who controls the page
The publisher, platform or directory controls the original page. Google controls whether and how it appears in search. They’re separate requests, usually in that order.
Add accurate, current information
If there’s little about who you are now, a current work profile or business page you control gives people something true to find.
Check back
Search the same phrases again after any change or request. Google can take weeks to catch up after a page changes.
Questions
Can Fix My Name Online remove every result?
No. We don’t remove anything, and no one can promise a removal: publishers, platforms and search engines decide. The free check gives you a plan, a letter you can edit and the official forms for your situation, and you send them yourself.
Is the first step private?
Yes. The free check runs in your browser, and nothing you type is sent to us. Nothing is published, sent or submitted unless you do it yourself.
What if a result cannot be removed?
Then the focus usually shifts to accurate, current information of your own, such as a profile or work page, so one bad result is not the whole story.
Fix My Name Online is a self-service tool, not a law firm, and this isn’t legal advice. Publishers, platforms and search engines make their own decisions; no one can promise a result. Need a lawyer?
