How It Works
Process summary: (1) Verify the takedown — identify the exact Lumen notice and affected URLs; (2) Collect ownership evidence — timestamps, originals, index history; (3) File a §512(g) counter-notice with legally required statements; (4) Track recovery until the URL returns to Google's index. Service target: index recovery within 24 hours once documentation is complete (not a guarantee for every URL). Standard platform review when self-filing: typically 10–14 business days.
- Step 1 — Diagnosis (free): the Check DMCA tool shows whether URLs were delisted and links the public Lumen record.
- Step 2 — Evidence: proof of authorship/ownership and publication history are compiled into the filing packet.
- Step 3 — Filing: counter-notice submitted under penalty of perjury via the platform's official channel.
- Step 4 — Recovery & warranty: monitored until restoration; 12-month warranty against the same complaint.
