Remove My Address From Google Search Results

Why Your Address Appears on Google

Google does not collect your home address, it indexes pages that contain it. In almost every case, your address appears in Google results because a data broker site (Whitepages, Spokeo, Radaris, BeenVerified, etc.) has published a profile page that includes your address, and that page ranks in Google search results for your name.

Step 1: Remove the Source First (Data Broker Opt-Outs)

Submitting a Google removal request for a page that still exists will be rejected or re-indexed within days. Always remove the source page first. Submit opt-out requests to the brokers whose pages rank for your name, at minimum: Whitepages, Spokeo, Radaris, BeenVerified, and TruePeopleSearch. Use OfflistMe to batch these requests. Removals typically process within 24–72 hours.

Step 2: Google's "Results About You" Tool

Once the source page is gone or the content has changed, use Google's "Results About You" tool to request removal of the URL from Google's index:

1. Go to myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy and scroll to "Results about you."
2. Click "Manage results about you". Google will scan for pages showing your personal information.
3. Select the result containing your address and submit a removal request.
4. Google typically processes these within 3–7 days. Victims of non-consensual intimate imagery or doxxing qualify for expedited review.

Step 3: Remove Outdated Content Tool

If the broker page is already gone (returns a 404) but Google still shows it in results, use Google's Remove Outdated Content tool at search.google.com/search-console/remove-outdated-content. Paste the URL and submit. This accelerates de-indexing for pages that no longer exist.

Why Broker Removal Comes First

If you only remove the Google result without removing the source broker page, Google will re-index it within 1–4 weeks during its next crawl. The source page must be gone or changed before Google removal becomes permanent. This is why data broker opt-out is the essential first step, not an optional extra.

Timeline Expectations

• Broker opt-out processing: 24–72 hours for most sites
• Google de-indexing (natural crawl): 1–4 weeks after source removal
• Google "Remove Outdated Content" accelerated removal: 3–7 days
• Google "Results About You" request: 3–7 days processing
