: Removing website from Google ranking under unwanted keyword Is there any way to remove a website from appearing in Google search results under an unwanted keyword? About a year ago, I added

Google normally takes a snapshot of what contents originally appear on a page for the first time as they are discovered. Google can be rather stubborn on dropping keywords when originally they was intended, even through it was a mistake to begin Google is non the wiser.

The process of dropping a keyword can take many months and you should insure that you have covered all areas:


No mention of name on the page content
No mention of the name in the hidden content such as Title, Meta Descriptions, Keywords, Alt Tags
No off site links, if someone is linking to the website with 'her name' like a profile from a forum or signature can cause this so check the backlinks.
Check Authorship / Publisher information on Webmaster Tools and Google Plus, these can be linked and that could add to the problem.
Ultimately the issue you have is time, it takes a long time to drop a keyword from Google.
