What is De Indexing Google?
De Indexing Google is, by definition, the removal of an already indexed url, listed in the search results.
A de-indexed link is referred to when the (de-indexing) request is accepted and the content removed from Google’s index.
In these cases, the content ends up in the so-called Deep Web: it still exists but is no longer present in the search results and can only be reached by those who already know that url address.
What is the difference between removal and de-indexing?
We talk about removal when a page is deleted and a 404 error is received when clicking on it.
We talk about de-indexing when a page is removed from search results but it still exists and can only be visited by those who already know the address.
Why it is important to know this procedure
Search engines are the most widely used and comprehensive source of information today.
It must be kept in mind, however, that the network is not only teeming with insights and infotainment.
We are increasingly finding ourselves confronted with incorrect or false news (so-called fake news), or with comments that can damage your web reputation.
For this reason, Google provides a process to de-index or remove a web page that contains online defamation.
Why do we talk about the de-indexing right?
The de-indexing right is back in vogue thanks to the commitment of the European Union and the CNIL to protect the privacy of EU citizens.
In short, the EU has taken action through EU regulation 2016/679, also known as GDPR, which allows users to request the deletion of links and search results if they are:
- Outdated or incorrect information (Right to be forgotten, Article 17 of the GDPR);
- Information of very low or irrelevant public interest;
- Information and personal content published on the web without the owner’s authorization.

Pros: little effort, no expense.
Cons: Success does not depend on you and in the vast majority of cases the response is negative.
