What Comes Up When Someone Googles Your Name?
Employers check. Patients check. Clients check. Dates check. See exactly what they see — free, in about five minutes.
Most people never look. Then one person does.
You don't find out about a negative search result when it's published. You find out when it costs you something — the interview that went silent, the patient who canceled, the client who went elsewhere. By then, the result has been sitting there for months or years, getting stronger.
What the free scan checks
- Web search results — what the open web shows for your name, including news, forums, and profile sites
- Federal court dockets — case records through CourtListener, the public legal research database
- Red flags — anything that could hurt you in a hiring, patient, or client decision, flagged and explained in plain English
What you get
- A report — everything found, where it ranks, and what it means
- A recommendation — our tier evaluator scores which plan fits your situation (or tells you honestly when you don't need one)
- No obligation — the scan and the report are free, permanently
Plans if you need them
- Deep Clean — $99 one-time. A deep search of everything public — then we bury the negative content: mugshots and minor local coverage get pushed down the results. Federal or state arrests and newsworthy coverage don't clear here — those get an individual quote.
- Fresh Start — $19/month. Monthly monitoring that alerts you the moment new content about you appears.
- Clean Break — $199/month. Ongoing burial: positive content generation, professional profiles, cross-network boosting, and monthly position tracking.
- Custom — contact us. Federal or state arrests, serious offenses, .gov or state regulator listings, and national-news coverage get an individual quote.

The free scan looks for your name across the open web and federal court dockets, identifying any potential red flags.

How CleanSlate plans fit this
Every plan starts with the same free scan and plain-English report. From there, plans scale by how much positive content gets built and how closely your results are tracked. See the plans and compare what each one includes — monitoring, content generation, professional profiles, and monthly position tracking.
What the free scan searches
The CleanSlate free scan covers a comprehensive range of publicly available information associated with your name and location on the open web. This includes federal court dockets, which are accessible through public databases managed by the judiciary system. Additionally, our proprietary algorithm identifies potential red flags that could negatively impact your online reputation—such as controversial posts or mentions in low-reputation forums—and surfaces these issues with clear, plain-English explanations.
- The scan searches for any content linked to your name across a wide array of sources including news articles, social media profiles, and other publicly accessible websites.
- It also includes an analysis of court documents that are freely available online but do not guarantee their removal or alteration. We provide insights on how these records may affect your public perception without offering legal advice.
The entire process takes about five minutes to complete, and no account creation is necessary. The scan aims to give you a quick yet thorough overview of what the internet knows about you so that you can take proactive steps towards improving or maintaining your online reputation.
Reading your scan report
Upon completion of your free scan, you will receive an in-depth report outlining all findings. This report is structured to clearly delineate what was discovered during the search process and where each item ranks on major search engines like Google or Bing.
- The report categorizes information as either a significant risk (items that could harm your reputation) or noise (less impactful mentions).
- You'll also find detailed explanations for any red flags identified, along with suggestions for how to mitigate their impact.
This comprehensive guide is yours to keep and share with others, such as legal advisors or professional mentors. It serves not only as a snapshot of your current online presence but also as a roadmap for future actions aimed at enhancing your digital footprint.
What happens after the scan
After you complete your free scan, the report will provide an initial recommendation based on the findings. This can range from simple steps to improve your online presence to more comprehensive strategies for managing reputation risks.
- If the recommendation aligns with your goals, you may choose to proceed by selecting a plan that offers professional content generation and profile creation services tailored to boost positive information about you.
- Alternatively, if you're not ready to commit further or simply want to keep the report for reference without taking additional actions, there's no obligation to do so.
No charges will be incurred automatically; all next steps are entirely optional and designed to empower you with knowledge and tools to take control of your online identity.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an account to scan?
No. Enter your name and get the report. Creating an account is only needed if you start a paid plan.
Can I scan someone else's name?
The scan is designed for people checking their own name. Scanning others for employment or tenant decisions may require authorization under the law — our terms cover acceptable use.
What if the scan finds nothing?
Then you get the rare good news in writing — and you know your baseline. Fresh Start monitoring keeps it that way.
Is the scan really free?
Yes, the initial public reputation scan is completely free. It requires no account creation and provides you with immediate access to a detailed report about your online presence.
Does the scan ping anyone or alert them?
No, our scanning process does not notify any third parties of your activity. The information gathered comes from publicly available sources on the web without triggering alerts for individuals or organizations.
How often should I scan?
Scanning periodically can help you stay informed about changes in your online reputation over time. We recommend scanning at least once a year, especially if there have been significant life events or career changes that could affect how others perceive you online.
Is the scan really free?
Yes, our scan is completely free. You can run it as many times as needed without any hidden fees or obligations. The purpose of this tool is to provide you with a clear understanding of your online reputation so that you can make informed decisions about how to manage it.
Does the scan ping anyone or alert them?
No, our scanning process does not notify any third parties. Your information remains private and secure throughout the entire operation. We do not send alerts or notifications to websites or individuals that we search during your scan. Our approach is designed to be discreet and protective of your privacy.
How often should I scan?
The frequency of scanning depends on how actively you manage your online presence and the nature of the information about you. If there have been significant changes in your professional life or if new content appears frequently, a re-scan every few months can be beneficial. Otherwise, annual scans are usually sufficient to monitor for any emerging issues.
