Delete Company Name from Bad Press
Award-Winning London PR Agency

Negative press doesn’t just sting—it sticks. One article, one poorly-worded blog, one public dispute... and suddenly your business name is showing up in headlines that have nothing to do with the work you're doing now. It’s there when potential clients search. It’s there when lenders check. It’s there when partnerships are being considered.And the worst part? It doesn’t even have to be recent or accurate. Google doesn’t care. The press doesn’t retract. But the consequences land right on your plate—lost sales, missed deals, declining trust, and branding that’s being defined by someone else’s story.This is a consultation-based service, not legal representation. We focus on removing, suppressing, and limiting the damage of negative online mentions. If your business name is tied to press you didn’t ask for—or no longer want out there—this service is for you.Schedule Your Confidential Consultation Today

What We Deliver

Our Services

Most clients come to us after trying—and failing—to get negative content removed themselves. Emailing websites goes nowhere. Filing reports with platforms gets ignored. And hiring a PR agency just leads to generic content that doesn’t move the needle.We handle the process properly. That means identifying where the negative press is coming from, understanding why it ranks, and putting a plan together that targets removal, suppression, or disassociation using what’s allowed under UK and EU law.

Formal Content Removal Requests to News Publishers and Webmasters

Formal Content Removal Requests to News Publishers and Webmasters

If your business name is attached to misleading, outdated, or reputationally damaging press, we file structured removal requests with the original publisher. This isn’t casual outreach—it’s a formal process backed by data protection law and compliance best practice.

What's included
  • We determine whether GDPR, defamation, or public interest limits have been breached.
  • We prepare request language that fits legal removal guidelines.
  • We submit directly to the site owner or editor-in-chief with all required documentation.
  • We monitor the removal request’s status and follow up until a decision is made.Ideal for articles that never should’ve mentioned you in the first place—or were published without balanced reporting.

Google Deindexing and Search Result Suppression

Even when a piece can’t be taken down, it can still be buried. If bad press is ranking for your brand or business name, we develop a plan to push it down the results list—or remove it from Google altogether, where valid.

Book A Call

What's included

  • We submit removal requests under “outdated content” or “Right to Be Forgotten” grounds.
  • We flag links under GDPR where information is no longer relevant to the public.
  • We coordinate third-party content to displace and outrank harmful listings.
  • We track SERPs to assess suppression effectiveness over time.This works well when the press is linked to former directors, resolved disputes, or old incidents no longer relevant.
Third-Party Review Site and Directory Removal
Reputation First

Third-Party Review Site and Directory Removal

Some bad press doesn’t come from a journalist—it comes from platforms that republish or interpret it. These often include review sites, public directories, and data aggregators. We handle takedown requests where your name is used unfairly or out of context.

What's included
  • We assess content for policy violations or misrepresentation.
  • We file removal requests based on platform-specific rules.
  • We initiate GDPR requests to redact or remove business identifiers.
  • We monitor for reuploads or mirrors on similar directories.Important for businesses in regulated industries or those suffering from coordinated review attacks.

Legal-Based Removal Support under GDPR and Defamation

  • We evaluate the legal basis for content erasure or delisting.
  • We prepare GDPR removal applications with detailed documentation.
  • We assist in defamation rebuttal where factual accuracy is in question.

Public Disassociation from Third-Party Incidents
Earned Coverage

Public Disassociation from Third-Party Incidents

Your business name may be pulled into stories or press releases involving people or events that had nothing to do with your work. These can range from a former employee’s legal case to a partner company’s failure. We correct the record by creating space between your brand and theirs.

What's included
  • We issue removal or editing requests to remove mentions.
  • We propose amendments to clarify that your business was not involved.
  • We create new digital content that explains your position, without triggering further press.
  • We work on disassociation strategies to reduce search co-occurrence.Ideal when being “mentioned” alone is causing reputational damage.

News Archive Management and Legacy Content Suppression

Many newspapers and media outlets archive content indefinitely—even when it’s no longer of public interest. This legacy content ranks well, but its value today is questionable. We work to reduce its impact.

  • We submit archival suppression requests where content is outdated.
  • We request meta adjustments (noindex, nofollow) when deletion isn’t possible.

PDF File, Document, and Cached Page Removal
Reputation First

PDF File, Document, and Cached Page Removal

Old press releases, cached financial records, or PDF documents that mention your business can linger in search results—even after the host page is gone.

What's included
  • We find indexed documents in Google, Bing, and major data hosts.
  • We request deindexing from search engines where the file no longer exists.
  • We send takedown notices to hosts or platforms where the file remains.
  • We monitor cache refresh rates and reappearances.This service is useful after rebrands, company restructures, or data breaches that were indexed by search engines.
