    I have an issue with a search result on google - it's info that has been deleted from a social media platform but still shows on google search results.

    Have used the 'Outdated Content Removal Tool' and my 4 requests to remove the page are marked 'Approved'. However when I search the posts still appear.

    Has anyone ever successfully contacted google in order to query such an issue - googling how to contact google doesn't work funnily enough!

    Removed image or page still appears in Google Search

    If your removal request has been approved but you still see that content in our search results, confirm that the URL that appears in Google search results is exactly the same as the one you submitted for removal (including capitalization). If not, you should request removal of the additional URL(s) that still appear in search results.

    If it's been approved then I can't see any other reason than the above for it still to be displaying in search results.
