What this service includes
  • Per-URL ground assessment
  • Google and Bing requests
  • Follow-up handling
  • Verified result tracking

Search delisting is the pragmatic layer of enforcement: when a page cannot be removed quickly from its host, taking it out of Google and Bing cuts off most of its traffic. Search engines accept requests on defined grounds and apply consistent standards; a well-prepared request is processed, a vague one is not.

We identify the applicable ground for each URL, prepare the request for each search engine, handle follow-up questions and record outcomes on your case.

Common infringement scenarios

  • Copycat store and marketplace URLs ranking for your brand
  • Leaked content indexed from forums and file hosts
  • Pages publishing personal data about founders or staff
  • EU and UK residents' outdated or irrelevant personal results
  • Content subject to a court order

What we need from you

  • Result URLs and the queries where they appear
  • The ground: ownership evidence, court order, personal-data details, or EU/UK relevance arguments
  • Your identity verification where the search engine requires it

Administrative support, not legal advice
DigitalDMCA prepares and routes reports with your authorization and keeps the record. We do not provide legal advice. Where a matter needs a lawyer, for example litigation, a formal legal opinion or proceedings before a registry, we say so and recommend you consult qualified counsel.

Frequently asked questions

Does delisting remove the page from the internet?

No. The page stays on its host. Delisting removes it from search results for the relevant queries or regions, which is where most of its visibility comes from.

Am I eligible for right-to-be-forgotten delisting?

The process is available to individuals in the EU and UK for personal information that is inadequate, irrelevant or excessive. Businesses and public-interest information generally do not qualify. We assess eligibility before filing.
