Not all online exposure is created equal. Your personal information typically appears in three ways: professional exposure (LinkedIn, company sites), social exposure (Facebook, Instagram), and data broker exposure (Whitepages, Spokeo)—and knowing the difference helps you prioritize what to tackle first.

Removing search results starts with contacting the website owner to delete content at the source, then using Google's Remove Outdated Content tool to speed up delisting. For stubborn results that don't violate Google's policies, SEO strategies can push unwanted content down in rankings where it's less visible.

Serus Autopilot continuously scans data broker sites and automatically submits removal requests on your behalf, saving hours of manual work. Most users see significant reductions in their data broker footprint within 30-60 days, with ongoing monitoring to catch new listings as they appear.
