Remove your personal information from Google Search
Google will remove search results that show your home address, phone number, or email — free, with a tool most people have never heard of. Here is how, and the one thing it does not do.
Time: 10–15 minutes to set up · Difficulty: Easy
The steps
- Signed in to your Google account, go to google.com/results-about-you (the “Results about you” tool).
- Enter the name, address, phone number, and email you want watched. Google scans its results for pages exposing them.
- When it finds matches, review each one and tap Request removal. Google processes most requests within days.
- Leave the tool on — it keeps monitoring and alerts you when your details appear in new results.
- Spot something yourself while searching? Tap the three dots next to any result and choose Remove result — same process, one result at a time.

The honest part — what Google removal does not do
Removing a result from Google hides it from search; the page itself is still up on the people-search site, and anyone who goes there directly can still read it. Google removal is the visibility fix. To take the actual listings down, work through the sites themselves — that is what the rest of this guide is for. Do both: the sources first, Google as the sweep behind them.
The guide is free. Human casework is optional.
Thirty-plus sites can mean hours of look-ups, forms, and confirmation emails, and listings can return. You can do all of that yourself with the free guides. If you want the wider exposure picture researched and prioritized, Kelsie’s Basic Exposure Search is $39; ongoing monitoring and hands-on work are available after the case file.
