🌐 How to Remove Negative News Articles from Google & the Internet
If you’ve ever searched for your name or business on Google and found a negative news article ranking at the top, you know how damaging it can be. Whether it’s from The Daily Mail, The Guardian, The Sun, or any other major publication, a single negative article can harm your reputation, business, and future opportunities. The worst part? These articles can stay online for years, constantly resurfacing when people search for you.
At Reputation Ace, we specialise in removing, deindexing, and suppressing negative news articles to help individuals and businesses take back control of their online presence. Here’s everything you need to know about how to fix your online reputation and get negative news articles removed from search results.
🚫 Why Negative News Articles Are a Serious Problem
A single news article can do lasting damage by:
💥 Appearing at the top of Google searches, making it the first thing people see when they look you up.
📈 Hurting business opportunities, as potential clients or employers may form negative opinions.
💀 Damaging personal relationships, especially if the article contains false, misleading, or outdated information.
🎮 Being impossible to delete by yourself, as news sites have strong domain authority and rarely remove content voluntarily.
This is why it’s essential to act fast. The longer an article stays live, the more damage it can cause to your reputation.
🔧 How to Remove Negative News Articles from Google & the Internet
1️⃣ Request Direct Removal from the News Website
The first step is to contact the publisher and request a removal or correction. If the article contains false claims, private information, or outdated details, you may have a legal case for its removal.
However, many newspapers are reluctant to remove articles unless legally required to do so. If they refuse, there are other methods to handle the issue.
2️⃣ Deindex the Article from Google
If removal isn’t possible, the next step is to deindex the article from Google. This means it won’t appear in search results, even if it still exists on the original website.
Google may deindex an article if it: ✔️ Contains outdated personal information under GDPR (Right to be Forgotten).
✔️ Violates Google’s content removal policies (e.g., doxxing, harassment, defamation).
✔️ Is legally proven to be defamatory.
Submitting a legal removal request to Google can be effective, especially if you can prove the content is causing serious harm.
3️⃣ Suppress the Negative Article with SEO
If the article can’t be removed or deindexed, the best solution is SEO suppression—pushing it down in Google rankings so that nobody sees it. This is done by:
📢 Publishing high-authority positive content – Press releases, blogs, and media coverage featuring your name or business.
🌟 Optimising your website & social media – Making sure your official pages outrank negative content.
📈 Building backlinks to positive pages – Strengthening their position in search results.
By overwhelming Google with fresh, high-quality content, the negative article gets pushed off page one, drastically reducing its visibility.
