Removal guide
The answer
You cannot edit an AI assistant's answers directly. Assistants summarise what they find in sources they trust, so change the sources: correct or remove inaccurate pages, publish clear, factual information on your own site and profiles, keep facts consistent across the web, and use the provider's feedback tools. Test the same questions over time, because answers vary between sessions.
Step by step
- Test consistentlyAsk the same questions several times and record the answers.
- Find the sourcesNote cited pages and the most prominent results for your name.
- Correct inaccurate sourcesThrough publisher requests or removal routes.
- Publish accurate factsA clear about page, structured data and complete profiles.
- Use feedback toolsReport inaccurate answers through the assistant's feedback option.
