Google can be strict about refusing requests to delete information from internet search results if they perceive them to be frivolous, but they have a zero tolerance policy for particular types of content that can seriously hurt a person or a brand's reputation, such as spam and revenge porn and things like deliberately faked negative reviews.

Additionally, if information that is being used to harm your reputation contains copyrighted property that you own, such as photos, we as reputation lawyers may be able to assist you with filing what is known as a DMCA Takedown notice.
