Source page, search result, service profile, broker page, or official boundary are treated as separate boundary questions.
Online reputation — removal
Defamation is a conclusion a court reaches. We do not declare it — and neither does a platform, which will not rule on whether a statement is true. What moves a false post is a rule someone will actually enforce. We find that boundary, put the accepted item in writing at a fixed price, and label search de-listing as the fallback it is.
This page is education, not legal advice. We are a removal agency, not a law firm; for advice on your specific situation, consult an attorney — or start with the written boundary check and we'll tell you honestly what your case needs.
Client-record review
Non-intimate reputation matters can start with a private boundary check. Source fit, visibility limits, price, and stop limits are written before work is accepted.
Source page, search result, service profile, broker page, or official boundary are treated as separate boundary questions.
Policy, legal boundary, privacy option, official referral, or visibility work is labeled before work begins.
Eligible work is defined item by item, with stop limits and search-fallback items separated.
Removal, de-listing, suppression, and follow-up checks are reported as different outcomes.
Authorization readiness receipt
Before AboutUs work, the record should name the item, what surface can act, what basis fits, and what is only visibility work.
The file separates source pages, search results, broker profiles, mirrors, and excluded records without publishing the work order.
Policy, privacy, state record rule, DMCA, or legal referral is named before work begins.
Source change, visibility work, follow-up checks, and stop limits stay separate in the written boundary.
Items AboutUs cannot responsibly accept are declined, referred, or handled under the acceptance review terms.
Assessment decision packet
The first useful answer is not a sales pitch. It should separate route boundaries, source status, search exposure, excluded items, and anything that belongs with public authorities or outside help.
Official tools, platform reports, and safety referrals are named before AboutUs work when they fit the situation.
Items are sorted into written boundaries before a service agreement: what can be reviewed, what is excluded, and what needs a safer route.
The client record holds the private proof summary so the public page does not become the operating file.
Eligible AboutUs work gets written intended outcomes and refund terms. Sensitive matters do not start with upload or checkout.
Before you pay
A false post moves when the request is aimed at a rule someone will actually enforce. Sorting the item by who controls it, what proof exists, and whether the realistic outcome is source change or visibility work is what makes a quote honest.
AboutUs is a removal agency, not a law firm. Whether a statement is defamatory, whether you have a claim, and any court filing belong with counsel — before removal work is sold.
Harassment, privacy, impersonation, undisclosed-interest reviews, or an off-topic rule. Automated review cannot judge whether a claim is false, but it can apply the rule the post already breaks.
See the routingAn address, phone number, workplace, or document inside the post opens a boundary that does not require anyone to rule on the wider dispute.
Check that boundaryAuthor, webmaster, hosting provider, or registrar contact — approached on your authority as a correction or removal request, never as a legal threat.
See what we sendSome sites publish a policy of never removing anything. Then the honest question becomes search visibility, and we label it as fallback rather than sell it as removal.
Compare fallbackD01
The publisher decides. A correction or removal request works on the publisher's own standards, not on a finding that the post is false.
The URL, the date it appeared, and what specifically is claimed — kept in the client record, not on this page.
Established news reporting is outside the flat scope and is refused before work begins.
D02
Site policy sets the ceiling, and some boards publish a policy of never removing posts — including at the author's own request.
Preserve the thread and every mirror privately; which hook applies is sorted during review.
Where the board will not act at all, the file is labeled search-fallback or declined.
D03
Platform review policies reach fake, incentivized, conflicted, or off-topic content — not a real customer's bad opinion.
What makes it policy-violating rather than merely negative goes in the record.
A truthful negative review from a real customer is never something we take on.
D04
When the source page is already dead, the remaining work is refreshing the search index, which is a different and narrower request.
Confirm the source is actually gone before paying for anything else.
Index refresh is not removal and is priced as its own item.
D05
Contact details, identification, or financial data inside a post open a boundary that stands on its own, independent of the dispute.
Which fields are exposed, and where, stays in the client record.
This can succeed on the data while leaving the surrounding text untouched.
D06
The publishing authority owns it, and public-record rules set the ceiling.
Nothing to file with us — this belongs with counsel.
Declined before work begins, with a referral rather than an invoice.
If the boundary is still unclear, use client-record review before paying. A useful quote names the URL, the basis, the proof, the intended outcome, fallback status, and the refund term.
Client-record reviewIn the United States, defamation requires a statement of fact that can be checked and shown to be false. Opinion is protected — though calling something an opinion does not make it one, and a verifiable factual claim wrapped inside an opinion can still count. Public figures carry a heavier burden than private individuals. Which side of those lines a post falls on is decided by a court, with a lawyer, and not by us or by the site hosting it.
This also explains something that frustrates almost everyone who tries the obvious route first: platforms are not legally required to take user posts down, and their automated review has no way to judge whether a claim is false. Reporting a post as defamatory usually goes nowhere for exactly that reason. The request has to be aimed somewhere it can land.
Every platform publishes rules it does enforce: harassment, exposed personal information, impersonation, conflicted or fake reviews, off-topic content, and the acceptable-use terms of whoever hosts the site. A post that reads as defamatory to you often breaks one of those rules on its face. That is the request we build, because it is the one that can be acted on without anyone having to rule on your dispute.
Where no hook exists, we say so before taking the item, rather than selling a process with nowhere to go. Timing varies by platform, host, and whether the post has spread to mirrors or search. Aggregate outcomes across eligible cases; individual results vary per your written service agreement.
The line matters more here than on any other kind of removal, so it is written out rather than implied. Legal work belongs with a lawyer; if your matter needs one, we will tell you instead of selling around it.
What we do
What we do not
The strongest outcome is removal at the source: the post itself comes down from the site that published it. Where a site will not act, search de-listing stops the page from surfacing in results for your name — while the page itself still exists and is still reachable by direct link. That is a real difference, so we never let one be sold as the other. Which of the two your case realistically supports is stated before you pay.
One post, forum thread, or article is $2,750. Every order gets a 48-hour acceptance review first — if it is outside the boundary or something we cannot accept, you are refunded before any work begins. Reviewed items carry a written outcome and refund term, so what counts as done is agreed before the work rather than argued after it. Aggregate outcomes across eligible cases; individual results vary per your written service agreement.
Established news reporting and official court records sit outside this flat price and are declined at review, with a referral rather than an invoice.
Common questions
Written boundary
A false post moves when the request is aimed at a rule someone will enforce. Which rule that is, whether the realistic outcome is source removal or search fallback, and what happens if neither applies belong in writing before work begins.
Client-record review · Written boundary · No blanket guarantees
URLs, search results, platforms, and search-fallback items are separated before any paid decision.
AboutUs work names the intended outcome and refund term. De-listing, suppression, and follow-up are not called source removal.
If the boundary is fuzzy, pause before authorization. The trust page explains the checks that should exist first.
