Searchbug: frequently asked questions
Is it free to remove yourself from Searchbug?
Yes. There's no charge to ask Searchbug to block your listing, although searching the site needs an account.
How long does Searchbug take?
Searchbug doesn't publish a timeframe. Search again after a few days, and follow up if your information is still there after two weeks.
Will my information come back on Searchbug?
It can. Searchbug keeps adding records from public and commercial sources, so a new listing can appear after a move, a new phone number or a data refresh. Check again every few months.
Does removing myself from Searchbug remove me from Google?
Not right away. Google can show an old snippet until it recrawls the page. Once the Searchbug page is gone, you can ask Google to refresh the result. See our Google removal guide.
