SEARCH ENGINEDelist pirated content from Google — every index, every surface.
Google is the #1 discovery path for pirated content. A pirate page that ranks on Google gets steady organic traffic — removing the listing starves it. But Google has separate indexes for Web, Images, Video, News, and Cache, and a web-only delisting leaves four of them untouched. We file against all Google surfaces in parallel, then follow up with seven more search engines.
§ 02 · How Google enables piracy discovery
The four ways Google keeps pirated content discoverable.
Google is responsive to DMCA requests — the problem is volume, separate indexes, and re-indexing. Most people file one web request and call it done.
Organic search ranking
Pirate sites optimize for your product name and rank on page one of Google. Potential buyers searching for your course or content land on a free download page instead of your sales page. Every day the listing stays live, you lose sales to people who would have paid.
Google Images indexing
Your course thumbnails, product images, and preview screenshots appear in Google Images — linked to the pirate page, not your real listing. A web-only delisting doesn't touch Google Images. The image index requires a separate DMCA filing, and most people don't know it exists.
Google Video & cached copies
Preview clips, ripped lectures, and full-length stolen videos surface in Google Video search. Google Cache stores full HTML snapshots of pirate pages that survive even after the original site is taken down. Both require separate delisting requests that most DIY filers miss entirely.
Re-indexing & URL migration
Pirates move to new domains, change URL structures, and spin up mirror pages. Google re-indexes the moved content within days — sometimes hours. A one-time delisting doesn't account for the pirate's next domain. Ongoing monitoring is the only way to stay ahead of the re-indexing cycle.
§ 03 · Our Google delisting process
What actually happens when we delist your pirated content from Google.
The real timeline of a Google DMCA delisting — not a single form submission that ignores five out of six surfaces.
- T + 00:00
Submit your content details
You provide your original content URLs, proof of ownership, and any pirate pages you've already found on Google. Our intake team runs a discovery sweep across Google Web, Images, Video, News, Cache, and Shopping to build a complete infringing-URL inventory.
- T + 00:30
Full URL inventory built
We compile every Google-indexed URL pointing to pirated copies of your content — across all six Google surfaces. A single product can have 20–50+ infringing URLs across web results, image results, video results, cached pages, and shopping listings.
- T + 01:00
Parallel DMCA filings across all surfaces
Separate delisting requests go to Google Web, Google Images, Google Video, and Google Cache simultaneously. Each request includes the precise evidence format Google's copyright team requires — not a generic template that gets bounced for formatting issues.
- T + 06:00
First delisting confirmations
Google typically acknowledges DMCA requests within hours and begins processing. You get a live notification for each confirmed delisting — no waiting for a batch report. The most common pirate URLs start disappearing from search results.
- T + 24:00
Bulk delistings confirmed
The majority of submitted URLs are confirmed delisted across Google Web, Images, and Video. Your real product page starts reclaiming the search positions the pirate listings were occupying. This is the inflection point — the pirate's organic traffic drops sharply.
- T + 48:00
Multi-engine follow-up sweep
With Google handled, we file the same URLs with Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave Search, Ecosia, and Startpage. We also re-scan Google for any URLs that were re-indexed or missed in the initial sweep. If we miss the 48-hour mark on an in-scope delisting, your next month is free.
- Ongoing
Continuous monitoring for re-indexing
Pirates move to new domains and Google re-indexes the moved content. Your content stays monitored for the life of your plan — every new Google listing we detect triggers a fresh delisting request automatically, at no extra cost. We also monitor the other seven engines for re-appearances.
§ 04 · What we delist across Google surfaces
Every Google surface where pirated content shows up.
Google isn't one index — it's six. A web-only delisting leaves your content discoverable in Images, Video, News, Cache, and Shopping.
Google Search (web)
The primary discovery path for pirated content — organic web results that rank for your product name.
Google Images
Your product thumbnails and course screenshots appear in image results linked to pirate download pages.
Google Video
Ripped lectures, preview clips, and full-length stolen videos surface in video search.
Google News
When piracy blogs and "free download" sites publish articles, they appear in Google News for your brand name.
Google Cache & cached copies
Full HTML snapshots of pirate pages that survive even after the original site is taken down.
Google Shopping (counterfeit products)
When counterfeit physical products or unauthorized digital resales appear in Shopping results.
§ 05 · What's included
Everything you need to remove pirated content from Google.
One plan covers every Google surface — plus seven more search engines most agencies skip.
Google Web delisting
Every pirate URL removed from Google's primary web index. We file in the precise format Google's copyright team requires — no bounced requests, no re-submissions.
Google Images & Video delisting
Separate filings for Google Images and Google Video. Your course thumbnails and stolen lecture clips stop appearing in visual search results — not just the web listing.
8+ search engine coverage
After Google, we file with Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, Brave Search, Ecosia, and Startpage. Most agencies stop at Google — that leaves 15–40% of global search traffic still pointing at the pirate page.
Re-indexing monitoring
Pirates move to new domains and Google re-indexes the content within days. We monitor continuously and file fresh delistings the moment a re-indexed URL appears.
Counter-notice defense
When a pirate files a counter-notice with Google, we defend your claim with additional evidence and documentation — so the delisting sticks and doesn't get reversed.
Bulk URL management
A single product can generate 50+ infringing URLs across Google surfaces. We manage the full inventory — tracking every URL, every filing status, and every confirmation — so nothing slips through.
§ 06 · Why not file yourself?
What happens when you try to delist from Google on your own.
Google's DMCA form is public, but the volume, formatting precision, and multi-surface coverage turn a simple task into a full-time job.
Google surface coverage
File against web results only — Images, Video, News, and Cache stay live.
All six Google surfaces filed in parallel. Every pirate URL drops from every index.
Other search engines
Google only — leaves Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, and 4+ more pointing at the pirate page.
8+ engines filed. The pirate page becomes invisible across the entire search ecosystem.
URL volume management
Manually copy-paste each infringing URL. Miss one and the pirate page stays discoverable.
Automated URL discovery builds a complete inventory. Every URL tracked from filing to confirmation.
Re-indexing response
File once and hope. Pirate moves to a new domain, Google re-indexes, and you start over.
Continuous monitoring catches re-indexed URLs. Fresh delistings trigger automatically.
Filing format & rejections
Generic submissions get bounced for formatting issues. Re-filing wastes days.
Every request formatted to Google's exact specifications. Near-zero rejection rate.
