Online reputation company CEO says it’s seeing more people seek help as AI changes how information is found online.
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / June 1, 2026 / According to Gartner, traditional search engine volume is expected to decline by 25% by 2026. Consumers are increasingly turning to AI-powered search tools and chatbots. Cenk Uzunkaya, CEO of Erase.com, says the shift is already showing up in conversations the company is having with clients concerned about outdated or harmful information becoming easier to find online.
“People are starting to realize that information they thought was buried years ago can suddenly show up again through AI-driven search tools,” said Uzunkaya. “We’re hearing from more individuals and businesses who are concerned about old articles, public records, or misleading information becoming visible again without much context attached to it.”
Erase.com says it has seen a noticeable increase in requests related to harmful search results. This includes privacy concerns, public records exposure, and AI-generated misinformation over the past year as AI-driven search experiences have become more common.
“A lot of people still don’t realize how permanent online exposure can be,” Uzunkaya explained. “Something posted years ago can quickly resurface, and AI is making it easier for information to spread faster and reach more people.”
Uzunkaya says reputation management is becoming more important as employers, investors, and consumers rely more heavily on AI-assisted search and online research before making decisions.
“We’re moving into a time where online reputation can directly influence opportunities,” he said. “The people and businesses that stay proactive about monitoring and managing their online presence are in a better position long term.”
Erase.com encourages consumers to regularly review their online presence, secure personal information where possible, and address harmful content before it escalates.
