Fix harmful autocomplete suggestions for your name
Address harmful Google autocomplete suggestions and related searches attached to your name.
Autocomplete predictions and related searches such as 'scam', 'fraud' or 'lawsuit' next to a name shape perception before anyone clicks. Google removes predictions that break its autocomplete policies. Where a prediction is within policy, it reflects real search demand, and changing that demand through legitimate search repair is the only lasting fix.
Who this is for
- Businesses with 'scam', 'complaints' or 'lawsuit' next to their name
- Individuals with harmful predictions attached to their name
Who it is not for
- Anyone looking for fake search traffic. Manipulating search volume breaches Google's rules and we do not do it.

Frequently asked questions
Why does Google suggest 'scam' after my brand?
Predictions reflect what people search for. Often a single complaint thread or article drives that demand.
Can you remove it?
If it breaks Google's autocomplete policy, it can be reported. If not, the lasting fix is to address what is driving the searches.
How long does it take?
Policy reports are usually reviewed within weeks. Demand-driven changes take months.
Do related searches work the same way?
Similar principles apply, and we audit both together.
Is it different in other countries?
Yes, predictions vary by region and language. We check the markets that matter to you.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. You can make first contact without giving your name, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share case details, and case files are held in restricted, encrypted storage with access limited to your case team.
