\n Many users prefer not to have explicit content (such as sexually explicit and graphic violent
\n content) shown in their search results, and Google’s SafeSearch settings<\/a>
\n provide users with the ability to filter explicit content. However, sometimes our systems
\n may flag other content as explicit (for example, content that’s more nuanced or subtly suggestive
\n in nature, such as: lingerie websites, sex education sites, massage sites, racy content), which
\n means this content may be incorrectly filtered by SafeSearch. This guide explains how to figure
\n out if your site is being incorrectly flagged as explicit in Google Search results, and how to
\n resolve common mistakes.\n<\/p>\n

Determine if SafeSearch is filtering your website<\/h2>\n

\n First, check whether SafeSearch is filtering a few pages or your entire website, so you can better
\n understand how the issue is manifesting and how to resolve it moving forward:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check a particular page<\/b>. To determine if a specific page on your site is being identified as
    \n explicit:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. Confirm that SafeSearch is set to Off<\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. Search for a term where you can find that page in search results.<\/li>\n
    3. Set SafeSearch to Filter<\/a>.
      \n If you don’t see your page in the results anymore, it is likely being affected by SafeSearch
      \n filtering on this query.\n <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    4. Check your site as a whole<\/b>: To determine if your entire site is being identified as
      \n explicit, use the       site:<\/code> search operator<\/a>
      \n to find your site in search results, then set SafeSearch to Filter. If you don’t see your site
      \n anymore, then Google is filtering your site when SafeSearch is enabled.\n <\/li>\n
    5. Make changes on your site, as applicable<\/b>: Once you have a better idea of how the issue
      \n is manifesting, check the list of       common mistakes<\/a>
      \n and resolve the applicable issues.\n <\/li>\n
    6. Request a review<\/b>: If you applied fixes, wait at least 2-3 months before
      \n       requesting a review<\/a>,
      \n as it can take up to 2-3 months for our classifiers to re-process your content. If your site has
      \n always       followed the guidance for optimizing your site<\/a>, you may
      \n request a review immediately.<\/p>\n
