If you have suffered from defamation of character online, and have search results that you want to remove from Google, there is a process here:
If you proceed though a defamation lawsuit, either through settlement or trial, and come out with a Court Order indicating that the post is defamatory and must be removed. Then, you can submit the Court Order to Google to remove the post from the search results.
If you have been defamed but have not gone through courts, we can help by getting content removed on other grounds that do not require a legal document. We can also suppress, bury and replace negative content that Google will not remove or de-index.
It all depends what the content is. We can delete and remove a wide range of search results and all of them have different strategies.
