SEARCH DE-INDEXING

Separate the source
from the search result.

Search visibility can magnify a problem. A disciplined assessment distinguishes what sits on the original website, what a search engine displays, and what may be done when neither can simply be removed.

THREE DISTINCT OUTCOMES

Search engines do not control every underlying page.

1. Source removal

A content removal assessment concerns the original website, publisher or platform that hosts the material.

2. De-indexing or delisting

A search engine may review a request under its policies or an applicable legal or procedural route. Decisions depend on the circumstances, jurisdiction and the search engine’s own process; Krudo does not control those decisions.

3. Visibility reduction

When removal is unavailable, analysis may focus on the result’s prominence and a longer-term strategy to reduce its dominance in relevant searches.

WHAT WE REVIEW
01

Result and source

We identify the query, result, indexed URL and relationship to the originating content.

02

Applicable route

We assess whether available policies, facts and documentation indicate a route worth pursuing.

03

Next strategy

Where a result persists, we place it within a wider reputation recovery plan rather than overstate what is possible.
