How to remove the Facebook profile from Google search results?

If you are looking for a way to remove Facebook profile from Google search results, this post has everything you need to know. We’ll walk through the steps of how to delete your Facebook account and cover why it’s important. If you don’t want your data collected by third parties, then make sure you go into settings first and turn off any apps that aren’t necessary before deleting your account.

You should also consider removing yourself as an admin on any other social media accounts linked with Facebook like Instagram. Finally, if there is anything about yourself that would cause embarrassment or legal issues if leaked out (like old posts) you should consider removing your profile to come up on top of search results.

Facebook allows search engines to index your profile and publicly available info. Despite you being a social media butterfly, you’d want some decorum of privacy. Would you rather have a potential employer, for example, be able to do a simple Google search and find your Facebook profile? No, right? The good news being, you can delist it from the search engine indexes. 

 Remove Facebook Profile from Google Search

  • Launch your browser, navigate to Facebook.com, then sign in if you aren’t already.
  • Click on the arrow in the top-right corner, then click on Settings & privacy.
  • Click on Settings.
  • When the following page opens, click on Privacy.
  • Find the “How people can find and contact you” section, then click the Edit button next to “Do you want search engines outside of Facebook to link to your profile?”.
  • Uncheck “Allow search engines outside of Facebook to link to your Profile”. 
  • Once that is done, a message will appear saying: “Turning this off means that your friends may not be able to find your profile if they are using a search engine other than Facebook.”
  • Click the Turn Off button.
  • Now you can click on the Close option to save the changes

Though the process is complete, the changes can take a few weeks to go into effect. After Facebook processes your request, your profile will still continue to exist in various search engine caches, for the time being. The changes will be relayed to search engines, it takes some time to be removed. 

Anyone logged into Facebook can search your profile. This isn’t making your profile private but does make it harder to find. If you liked this, leave a comment below or share it with friends, so that they also know how to remove your Facebook profile from Google searches.
