Search results, what exactly are they?
Have you heard the term 'search results'?
If you frequently use portal sites like Naver, you might be familiar with the concept. However, surprisingly, many people do not know exactly what 'search results' mean.
In simple terms, 'search results' refer to the posts that appear on the screen when a specific keyword is searched. At first glance, they might not seem different from the posts we commonly see.
Understanding the Search Results Area
For example, when you search for the keyword 'White Me', if blog or cafe posts appear, this can be considered a typical displayed post.
However, if a message saying 'This post has been deleted' appears when you click on it, it is essentially a nonexistent post. Nonetheless, the content of that post may still be available on the internet in the search results.
This is because 'search results' include not only posts that currently exist but also those that have been deleted.
As a result, even for posts that have already been deleted, there may be situations where you can view the content through the preview window of the search results.
Why Negative Search Results About a Company Are a Problem?
So what happens if the search results contain false information or defamatory content related to the company? Obviously, it would become a significant issue.
Typically, one might think that deleting the problematic posts would resolve the issue, but simply deleting the posts does not guarantee peace of mind.
That's because if the deleted posts still appear in the search results, they can still be visible to many people.
Therefore, to completely erase traces of such posts online, you need to pay attention to deleting them from search results as well.
However, since the concept of 'deleting search results' is not common, many people feel unfamiliar with it and often struggle with how to deal with negative search results.
Thus, today I would like to introduce cases of deleting search results from portal sites that can negatively affect companies, along with the methods for deletion (reporting).
How to Delete Naver Search Results
The method to delete search results is as follows.
Click on 'Search Exclusion Settings or Request for Exclusion of Deleted Posts'
Enter required information
Click on 'Inquire'
By doing this, you can exclude specific posts from Naver search results.
However, not only Naver, but also WhiteMe provides search result deletion services for various domestic and international portal sites such as Daum, Google, Zoom, Bing/Yahoo, and more.
If the above method does not resolve your issue, or if you need search result deletion on other portal sites, please click here to inquire. Our experts will kindly guide you on how to delete search results.
Actual Deletion Case of Naver Search Results
Recently, the CEO of Company A inquired with WhiteMe.
CEO A inherited the company from his father and was managing it with his family. However, recently, some former employees who had left the company posted negative comments about the company on a Naver blog.
The post included negative statements such as “It’s a family business.” “Don’t go to this company.”
Therefore, CEO A requested the deletion of the post, and fortunately, the original post was removed. However,
even after the post was deleted, some of the content from that post still appeared in search results.
Since the CEO had already faced difficulties in the post deletion process, he determined that it would be hard to resolve the search result deletion on his own, and ultimately requested our assistance at WhiteMe.
We immediately commenced the search result deletion process, and the request was handled quickly.
Deleting Search Results: Quick Response is Important
Search results on portal sites can appear unexpectedly and threaten a company's reputation.
If you delay solving the issue because you don't know how to delete search results, negative search results can continue to be exposed. Ultimately, these elements can also have a detrimental effect on the company's image.
Therefore, a quick and definitive response is crucial, and WhiteMe has effectively deleted not only search results but also various types of content that threaten companies, based on over 250,000 deletion experiences.
