The short version
Search your name the way a stranger would, in a private window, and write down what’s on the first page. Most of it will be fine. For anything that isn’t, save the link and a dated screenshot, then get a free plan for that one link.

Search like a stranger
Use your full name, quoted name, old names, nicknames, business names, suburb, city, job title, review terms and risk words. Check web results, images, videos, news and review profiles.
Record what appears on page one and two
Titles, snippets and images can matter as much as the page itself. Screenshot the result, URL, date and search phrase so changes can be tracked.
Sort what you find
Group results into fine, out of date, wrong, about someone else, reviews, and photos. Each kind has a different person who decides and a different thing to ask for.
Deal with the ones that matter
If a result is wrong or out of date, ask the website to fix it. If it breaks a platform’s rules, report it. If there’s little accurate information about you, add a current profile you control.
Questions
Should I search in private browsing?
It can help reduce personalization, but location and device still influence results. Track the exact search phrase and date.
What should I do first if I find something bad?
Save the link and a dated screenshot before you react. Then start the free check to get the steps for that kind of result.
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?
