WOW, just discovered a Defamation Complaint to Google related to the “DLH Web Consultancy Ltd” SERP. If you search for “DLH Web Consultancy Ltd” in Google at the bottom there’s a notice:
In response to a legal request submitted to Google, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read more about the request at LumenDatabase.org.
This links to the Lumen Database Defamation Notice at: https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/13378139
Not spent much time on this, but appears to be no obvious way to make a counter defamation claim???
Going to have to look into this :-(

The Middlesbrough Web Consultancy Group have apparently issued a defamation claim against my review comments resulting in Google removing this website for related SERPs.
Interestingly the reason for noticing the defamation notice is earlier today I received another SPAM email from what appears to be the same people (same town and phone number, different email address/URL linked to).
This was sent to one of my old email addresses attached to the domain which I haven’t used in a while. The email address only receives SPAM.
Update May 2017 : This SPAM email was sent from the business Web Consultancy Group Ltd (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07924238) located at 21 Gosford St, Middlesbrough, TS2 1BB.

Web Consultancy Group AdWords Review
Update May 2017: I think I understand why the DMCA counter notification failed, I made the error of stating the now dissolved business DLH Web Consultancy Ltd (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/08239559) located at Boho One – F05, Bridge Street West, Middlesbrough, England TS2 1AE and the business Web Consultancy Group Ltd (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07924238) located at 21 Gosford St, Middlesbrough, TS2 1BB are the same business/company. Even though both companies were/are run by Stephen Hall and employed/employ Elizabeth Mulligan, technically/legally they are not the same business/company. DLH Web Consultancy Ltd no longer exists, so technically/legally the new business Web Consultancy Group Ltd are not responsible for their unethical business practices.
Not 100% sure I did this right, but it was the only online form (DMCA counter notification form) I could find that was close.
Used this form : https://support.google.com/legal/contact/lr_counternotice?product=websearch to submit a counter defamation claim against DLH Web Consultancy (AKA: Web Consultancy Group Limited) who submitted this defamation claim: https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/13378139
Below is what I added to the DMCA counter notification form.
The form is limited to 1000 characters, so had to be succinct.
Will be interesting to see if this is enough to remove the Defamation notice and my site blocked from Google for DLH Web Consultancy Limited SERPs

Submitting a Counter Defamation Claim to Google
Web Consultancy Group Ltd (https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07924238) located at 21 Gosford St, Middlesbrough, TS2 1BB have made and achieved a second defamation complaint to Google regarding the DLH Web Consultancy Ltd Review SERPs.
See the new defamation complaint at https://www.lumendatabase.org/notices/14396616
Google presumably approved the new defamation claim because I’d made the mistake of referring to “Web Consultancy Group Limited” (company number: 07924238) as the SAME company as “DLH Web Consultancy Ltd” (company number: 08239559).
Even though Stephen Hall owned and Elizabeth Mulligan worked for the company “DLH Web Consultancy Ltd” (dissolved/closed 4th October 2016) and Stephen Hall currently (May 2017) owns and Elizabeth Mulligan works for the company “Web Consultancy Group Limited” (another company that was renamed from “Data Supply Services (UK) Ltd” to “Web Consultancy Group Ltd” on 14th October 2016), legally they are NOT the same company.
I have of course corrected the errors, all suggestions “DLH Web Consultancy Ltd” and “Web Consultancy Group Ltd” are the same company have been removed.
Time will tell if that’s enough for Google to stop blocking DLH Web Consultancy Ltd Review SERPs.
