Defamation removal, with the scope in writing.
Defamation is a court’s conclusion, and platforms don’t rule on whether a statement is true. What moves a false post is a rule someone will enforce. We find that rule.
Send the post’s link and what it claims. Links only, no files.

How defamation removal works
What a platform will act on.
A false post moves when the request is aimed at a rule someone will enforce.
Google says it isn’t in a good position to judge whether claims are true, so “it’s false” is rarely the rule that moves a post. Harassment, exposed personal data, impersonation, an off-topic rule, or the host’s own terms can.
More detail
Sorting it by who controls the page and what the realistic result is makes a quote honest.
- Harassment
- Exposed personal dataa separate reason
- Impersonation
- The host’s own terms
- “It’s false”a court decides
Who controls the page sets the limit.
On a blog post or an article naming you, the publisher decides: a correction or removal request works on the publisher’s own standards, not on a finding that the post is false.
On a forum or complaint-board thread, the site’s policy sets the limit, and some boards say they never remove posts, even at the author’s request.
More detail
Established news reporting is outside the flat price and is declined before work begins.
Where the board won’t act at all, the item is labeled search-only or declined.
- blog.example/2024/…Publisher decides
- forum.example/t/…Site policy
- complaints.example/…Never removes posts
- news.example/story/…News: declined
Who controls each page decides what a request can reach.
Removed at the source, or delisted, labeled apart.
Removal at the source means whoever controls the page takes it down. Delisting means the page still exists and can be reached by direct link, but stops appearing in search: a limited result, priced as its own item, never a substitute for removal.
More detail
If the page is gone but still in search, Google’s free Refresh outdated content request updates its result, and you can file it yourself. Confirm the page is actually gone before paying anyone for anything.

What Google and federal law say about false posts
What Google itself says about judging truth, court rulings, and where a removal actually takes effect.
Google takes defamation requests from the person or business named, or their legal representative. It says it isn’t in a good position to judge whether claims are true or false, and that it would take a court ruling in your favor into account. It also says a Google removal doesn’t take the content off the original site; contacting the person who posted it is the most effective way.
For other legal complaints, Google’s Report Content for Legal Reasons page is the start. Google can restrict content in its own products, but that content may still exist elsewhere on the web.

More from the official pages (2)
Federal law, 47 U.S.C. § 230(c)(1): “No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider.” What that means for your post is a question for a lawyer.
Libel and slander, in one state’s words: California’s Civil Code says defamation is either libel or slander (§ 44). Libel is a false and unprivileged publication “by writing, printing, picture, effigy, or other fixed representation to the eye” (§ 45); slander is one “orally uttered, and also communications by radio or any mechanical or other means” (§ 46). Other states set their own rules. Which one a post is, and whether it is defamatory at all, is for a court and your own lawyer.

Price
Defamation removal price
One post, forum thread, or article is $2,750.
- Refund
- Full refund if we can’t accept it; each post not verified removed within 30 days is refunded.
- Done when
- Source removed, verified for the accepted post or article.
Included
- A private review before work begins
- Written scope confirmed at acceptance, before work begins
- Correspondence kept in your private case file
- A written result receipt on completion
Not covered by this price
- Truthful news reporting and official court records: generally outside fixed-price scope, so we decline them and refund before work begins.
- Pages where only a search-result delisting is possible (see Search Delisting Review, if accepted)
- Anyone under 18: that goes to NCMEC, never to a paid service.
How the payment runs
Your card is charged at checkout on Stripe’s page. Every order then gets a 48-hour acceptance review, and anything we cannot accept is refunded in full before work begins. Hosts, platforms, and search engines make the final decision.
Which one for a search result? If the page itself should come down, that is Single Post / Article Removal. If the page can’t be removed and only the search listing can go, that is Search Delisting Review. Search & Review Cleanup takes one result or review where either could happen, and closes on a written receipt.
A removal agency, not a law firm
Legal work belongs with a lawyer. If your matter needs one, we’ll tell you instead of selling around it.
- Decide whether something is defamatory, or advise on whether you have a claim.
- Send a cease-and-desist or a demand letter.
- File a lawsuit, subpoena an anonymous author, or obtain a court order.
- Promise that a post will come down, or advertise a removal percentage.
What we do
Find the rule a platform already enforces: harassment, privacy, impersonation, off-topic, or the host’s own terms. Organize the links, dates, and archived copies so your own lawyer can use them as-is. Contact the author, webmaster, host, or registrar on your authority, as a correction or removal request. Submit a court order you already have to the platforms and search engines that need it.
An official court record
The agency that publishes it controls it, and public-record rules set the limit. It is declined before work begins, with a referral to counsel instead.

Defamation removal FAQ
Can you remove a defamatory post about me?
We pursue the post, but not on the grounds most people expect. Defamation is a conclusion a court reaches, and Google says it isn’t in a good position to judge whether claims are true. So the request is aimed at a rule the platform will actually enforce: harassment, exposed personal data, impersonation, conflicted or fake reviews, an off-topic rule, or the host’s own terms. Where the source won’t act, search delisting is offered as a labeled, limited result, never as a substitute for removal.
How much does it cost to remove a defamatory post?
One post, thread, or article is $2,750 on our rate card. Every paid order gets a 48-hour acceptance review before any work begins; if it is outside what we do or something we can’t accept, you are refunded in full. Once we accept it, each post not verified removed within 30 days is refunded. What counts as done: source removed, verified for the accepted post or article. Hosts, platforms, and search engines make the final decision.
Libel, slander, defamation — which applies to an online post?
Defamation is the umbrella word. California’s Civil Code, one state’s example linked in the sources on this page, splits it into libel, a false and unprivileged publication in writing, pictures, or another fixed form, and slander, one spoken aloud or carried by radio or other means. Other states set their own rules. Which one a post is, and whether it is defamatory at all, is for a court and your own lawyer to say, not us. What we look for is a rule the platform itself enforces.
Are you lawyers? Can you sue the person who wrote it?
No. We are a removal agency, not a law firm, and nothing here is legal advice. We don’t send cease-and-desist or demand letters, file suits, subpoena an anonymous author, or obtain court orders. We request removal or delisting of the content and organize the evidence so your own lawyer can act on it if you choose to. If your matter needs a lawyer, we will say so.
The site says it never removes posts. Is there anything left to do?
Sometimes, and we tell you which before any work begins. Where a board holds to that policy, the honest options are narrow: a separate reason for removal, such as personal data in the post, or search-only work labeled as a limited result. If neither realistically applies, we decline the item.
Is delisting from Google the same as removing the post?
No, and we label the two separately for that reason. Removal at the source means whoever controls the page takes it down. Delisting means the page still exists and can be reached by direct link, but stops appearing in search. Google says the same: a removal from its results doesn’t take the content off the original site. Delisting is a limited result, priced as its own item.
What if the post is a bad review from a real customer?
We don’t take that on. Review policies reach fake, conflicted, or off-topic content, not a genuine customer’s negative opinion, however unfair it feels. And the FTC’s rule on consumer reviews bars groundless legal threats and intimidation used to get a review removed.
Start with the post’s link.
Send the link and a line on what it claims. If no rule applies, or the matter needs a lawyer, you’ll hear that before any work begins.
