We had a user ask this question in our forum and i thought of sharing this in the blog so that it can be useful to people who are not aware of such a thing.
Here’s the question:
I typed my home phone number in the google search and it comes up with my name, address, and a link to a map of where my house is. I know there is a way you can remove it just by typing something into the google search engine.
Some of our member’s answered this question and here’s the answer:
Answer: How To Remove Your Phone Number From Google Search
To do this: Type in your full phone number using dashes like this:
555-123-4567.
If your number appears in the mapping database, an icon resembling a telephone will appear to left of the entry on the results page.
Click on this icon and it will take you to a page containing a description of the service, and a link to request your number be removed!
Recheck your phone # to be sure it has been removed. Also, if you have children, please check their phone # too!
Here the direct link: http://www.google.com/intl/en/help/pbremoval.html
Let us know if this worked for you!!
