How to Remove Your Home Address From Google

Seeing your home address in Google results is unsettling — and it almost always traces back to a data-broker page. Here's how to remove your address from Google for free and stop it from returning.

1. Request removal with 'Results about you'

Google's free tool lets you request removal of results that expose your home address.

Open 'Results about you' and sign in.
Submit the URLs displaying your address.

2. Opt out of the broker behind the page

The result points to a broker listing. Remove the listing itself so Google can't re-index it.

Identify the broker hosting the page.
Opt out using our /remove-from guides.

3. Clear cached results and monitor

Use 'Remove outdated content' once the source is gone, then re-check quarterly or let Footprint Finder monitor monthly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my address removed from Google?

Use Google's 'Results about you' tool to remove the search result, then opt out of the data broker hosting the page so it doesn't get re-indexed. Both steps are free.

Why is my address still on Google after removal?

Google removed the result, not the source page. If the broker listing remains live, Google can re-index it — opting out of the broker is the lasting fix.
