What the government is doing about misleading websites

We know that it’s sometimes hard to tell the difference between the adverts, that appear at the top of the search result pages, and the actual search results, which take you to the government service.
The government is working with search engines to have the ads for misleading websites removed. We know there’s more to do.
We’re also working with the Advertising Standards Authority and the National Trading Standards Board to make it harder for these sites to run their business in this way.
In the meantime, we’re trying to raise awareness about how to avoid misleading websites. We’re working with consumer organisations like Which? and Citizens Advice Bureau to do this.
If you’ve used an unofficial website

You can report adverts in search engines that have misled you by visiting www.gov.uk/misleadingwebsites.
