Google PhoneBook Name Removal

Saturday, August 20th, 2005

I use Google when I want to quickly find phone numbers. Just enter the name, city and state, and usually it’s listed at the top of the SERP (Search Engine Results Page), under Phonebook Results.

Quality Living, Inc. in Omaha, NE

Monday, August 15th, 2005
