So, you Googled yourself—and now you're staring at that one news article that feels like it’s haunting you. You’re thinking, “How on earth did this make it to the front page?” Maybe it’s an old story, maybe it’s just a bad review, but either way, it’s there, looming like an unwanted guest at a party. But don’t worry, we’ve got this. Today, we’re going to walk you through how to remove negative news articles from Google, and by the end of this video, you’ll be feeling like a reputation management pro.
Step one: Stay calm and don’t panic.
I know—seeing a negative article about you pop up in Google search can feel like a mini-crisis. But here’s the thing: the internet is vast. One article isn’t the end of the world, even though it may feel like it. Take a deep breath. Seriously. Breathe. Good. Now let’s talk about how we’re going to fix this.
Step two: Understand why it’s there in the first place.
Before you go into full damage control mode, it’s important to understand why that article is showing up in the first place. Google doesn’t just randomly choose to put something on the front page. It’s likely that this article is ranking because it’s relevant to a search term—like your name, your business, or a topic you’re associated with. So, the question isn’t necessarily why is it there—it’s how can we deal with it?
Step three: Contact the publisher directly.
The first move you should always make is to reach out to the website or publisher hosting the negative article. Most sites have contact information, whether it’s an editorial team email or a contact form. It’s time to put on your nicest tone and send a polite, professional email.
Here’s the secret: Keep it calm, keep it respectful. You don’t want to come across like an angry mob is chasing you. Instead, explain why the article is either misleading, outdated, or just plain wrong. If you’ve got proof to back up your claim, even better. Publishers are sometimes willing to remove or update content when they realize it’s no longer serving the truth. But, and this is important—don’t expect instant results. They might say no, and that’s when we move to Plan B.
Step four: Use Google’s removal tool.
Alright, if the publisher isn’t budging or if the article is personal, defamatory, or contains sensitive data, you can use Google’s removal tool. Google allows you to request the removal of content from search results under certain conditions, like if it violates their policies or reveals private info.
But—and here’s the kicker—Google doesn’t just remove negative articles because they hurt your feelings. They will take down content that violates their rules. For example, if the article contains personal information like your phone number, address, or banking details, that’s a violation. You can head over to Google’s Search Removal page, explain your case, and request the removal. Google will review the request, and if it checks out, they’ll pull it from the search results. Simple, right? Not quite, but it’s worth a shot.
Step five: Push the negative article down with positive content.
Here’s where things get fun. Let’s say that the article is staying put. Maybe the publisher won’t remove it, and Google doesn’t find it harmful enough to take it down. No problem! Time to bring out the SEO magic.
