Link & Dead-Link Cleanup

Clean up the links pointing at your name.

Harmful backlinks prop up negative results, and dead links leave broken, unflattering trails in search. The audit maps what points where; the work is removal requests, de-indexing, and disavowal.

Why This Matters

Links are why the bad result ranks.

Search engines rank what's linked. Cutting the links that feed a negative page — and cleaning the dead ones that still surface — weakens what you can't remove directly.

Before and after

Illustrative example of the process — not a specific client result. What's achievable for your case is stated plainly after the free lookup.

How it works

01

Free lookup

We map everything published about you — sites, images, records, brokers — and show you the full picture.

02

Plain quote

What can be removed, what can only be suppressed, and what each costs. Nothing billed before you approve it.

03

Removal & watch

Takedowns filed, search cleaned up, and monitoring so what comes down stays down.

Link Cleanup FAQs

Will removing links delete the negative page?

No — it weakens its ranking. Page removal is its own service; this one starves what can't be removed.

What's a disavow and is it safe?

A standard search-engine tool that tells Google to ignore specific links. Safe when scoped correctly — that's what the audit is for.

How do I know which links matter?

The free audit ranks them by how much they feed the results you care about.

How much does link cleanup cost?

It depends on scope — how many listings, which sources, and what grounds apply. After the free lookup you get a plain quote before anything is billed, and quoted removals carry the money-back guarantee.

How long does it take?

Individual sources vary from days to weeks, and search engines update after content comes down. You get status as each request moves.

What if it comes back?

Republication happens — sources copy each other. The work includes a monitoring window, so copies that resurface get caught and pursued before they rank.
