About Google+ profiles
Google+ profiles were public social profiles that often ranked for people’s names.
After you opt out
- Search your name on the site again in a private browser window to confirm the listing is gone.
- Opt out of related sites separately; one request rarely covers every brand.
- If Google still shows the old page, use Google’s Refresh Outdated Content tool once the listing is removed.
- Re-check every few months, because profiles can reappear when databases refresh.
