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.

Do not feed the result
Avoid public arguments, social posts about the issue and mass-reporting without evidence. These tend to draw more attention to the problem, not less.
Check the searches people actually use
Try your full name, business name, old names, suburb, job and words like “review” or “complaint”. A problem often shows up for only one of these.
Separate platform problems from search problems
Google shows results from other sites. A review platform, publisher, court database, social profile or complaint site may need a different response from Google itself.
Create a private next-step plan
Decide whether this needs a request to the website, a platform report, a Google form, or simply watching for now. The right route depends on the evidence, who runs the source, how sensitive it is, and timing.
Questions
How urgent is a bad Google result?
It depends on where it ranks, what the snippet says, whether it appears for your exact name and whether clients, employers or customers are likely to search it.
Does adding my own information help?
Accurate, current information about you, such as a work profile, gives people a fuller picture. Search engines decide what shows and in what order.
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?
