How to remove negative web content?
There are several ways to do this:

- Contact Google to remove sites that violate their policies.
- Finally, there are cases where negative content may be unlawful, in which case you can take legal action.
How to remove bad search result on Google?
Simply ask the owner to remove it. Ask them to add a no-index tag to the page so that Google ignores it. Ask them to change the content on the page to remove your keywords (i.e. your company name).
Why does Google show this negative article in the search results?
More often than not, a negative search result will happen on a page you don’t own. A blogger might publish a post about a bad experience with your company, or somebody may post negative personal information about you on a website. Contact Google to remove sites that violate their policies.

- Monitor employee complaint platforms.
- Be proactive to prevent issues from turning into a crisis.
Can you delete a negative Google review?
Unfortunately, Google doesn’t offer a simple “delete” option for its reviews. The person who posted the review can delete it or your business can “flag the review as inappropriate.” Flagging the review alerts Google that the review is fake or that it doesn’t comply with Google’s review policies.
Do news articles get deleted?
News sites are unlikely to remove an article from their website, but there is always a slight possibility they will. News sites, editors, and journalists are used to getting requests to have negative and embarrassing articles removed, so coming up with a proper removal strategy is extremely important.
