From brand search results
Two videos posted by a third party were appearing prominently in brand search results. Standard platform flagging had not produced a result. Policy violations were identified and formal removal requests submitted with documentation. Both videos removed within 7 days. De-indexed from Google within 10 days. No re-upload detected on primary or secondary platforms.
The Situation
- Two videos had been posted by a third party and were appearing prominently in search results for the organization’s name
- The videos contained misleading and inaccurate content about the organization’s leadership and operations
- Both were indexed by Google and appearing on the first page of name searches
- The organization had already attempted to flag the content through the platform’s standard reporting tool without success
The Challenge
- Video results occupy prominent positions in Google search — they appear with thumbnails and titles, making them visually dominant on the page
- Two videos appearing together created a cluster of negative results that overshadowed everything else the organization had built online
- The content was being seen by donors, prospective members, and community partners researching the organization
- Video content that’s resisted standard flagging requires formal violation documentation through the platform’s policy review channel — the pathway our YouTube content removal service uses for branded video takedowns.
What We Did
- Identified the specific policy violations in both videos — the removal grounds existed but required a formal documented submission rather than a standard flag
- Submitted removal requests for both videos simultaneously with supporting documentation
- Requested expedited processing to accelerate the platform’s review timeline
- Confirmed removal of both videos and monitored for re-upload or mirrored copies on secondary platforms
Both videos removed in 7 days. De-indexed from Google within 10 days of removal.
- Both videos removed from the platform within 7 days of engagement
- De-indexed from Google within 10 days of removal
- No re-upload detected on the primary or secondary platforms monitored
- Expedited processing applied — both removals confirmed within the client’s required week
