# Old news should not run your search results

> Help removing, updating, or suppressing news articles and blog posts that still rank for your name or company.

Publishers rarely unpublish lawful reporting. We focus on corrections, de-indexing where the law allows it, and ranking better pages above the article when removal is not possible.

- Correction and update requests to the publisher
- GDPR / right-to-be-forgotten de-indexing where it applies
- Suppression with assets you actually control and approve
- Honest split between “can come down” and “must be outranked”

## Removal vs suppression

A newsroom will almost never delete a true article because it is inconvenient. They may correct errors, update headlines, or remove a name in limited cases. If the article stays, the workable path is usually to push it off page one with stronger, accurate pages.

## Legal routes

In the EU, search engines can de-index certain URLs for personal-name searches. That does not delete the article and does not always apply to companies. We only file requests that have a real legal basis.

## What you approve

Any replacement content — profiles, interviews, or owned pages — is shown to you before it goes live. We do not invent press mentions or attach your name to outlets that never covered you.

## FAQ

**Can you force a newspaper to delete an article?**

Almost never, if the reporting was lawful. We can request corrections, updates, or de-indexing, and we can outrank the piece.

**Does GDPR delete the article worldwide?**

No. A successful de-indexing request typically affects search results in relevant jurisdictions, not the publisher’s own site.

**How do you measure success?**

By the URLs that rank for the target queries after 4–12 weeks, not by a vanity “reputation score”.
