However, there are occasions when there are more serious issues which need to be resolved. Something which I've been asked several times is 'How do I remove myself from the Google listings?'. Unfortunately when I've been asked this question in the past, the reasons haven't been particularly favourable and often there is a very good & legitimate reason for someone to have their information removed from the listings.
Regrettably getting information taken out of the Google listing or Google search results pages, isn't very easy and the tools available to remove yourself are limited.
One of the easiest ways to try to remove yourself, is by using the Google Webpage Removal Request Tool (bit of a mouthful!). This tool allows you to submit a request to remove a webpage or yourself from the Google Index and to submit a reason why.
One important thing to remember though, you can only submit a request to Google to remove a page. It is up to them to review your request and so they may so Yes but may also say No. There are no guarantees that the web page will be removed. So it is up to you to make your description & reason compelling enough.
However, if you have a Google Account, then your submission can be logged and you can check to see it's status at any point to monitor its progress.
Provide you have a good, legitimate reason, then you should be able to page the page removed from Google. I have used this tool successfully in the past so know that it works (eventually).
If you've any other experiences or questions about removing yourself from Google, we'd like to hear it! Leave a comment below!

Web design is still all about ROI (return of investment). Most websites are business focused and its all about money and RETURN. It is all about making money using different tactics.
