Google review removal is Google's call, made when a review breaks policies like these: - Reviews from people who were never customers - Reviews posted by a competitor or a former employee - Off-topic rants about politics - Harassment, hate speech, threats or profanity aimed at staff - Personal information, like a phone number See [Remove Fake Google Reviews](https://removemyreviews.com/services/remove-fake-google-reviews/) and [Remove Negative Google Reviews](https://removemyreviews.com/services/remove-negative-google-reviews/), or find your situation in [Which Google Review Case Is Yours?](https://removemyreviews.com/cases/) ## What removing rule-breaking reviews does to a rating Illustrative example, not a client result. The business, reviews and numbers are made up. ### Before: 4.1 from 40 reviews - "Never been in, but I hear they overcharge." Not a real experience - "Go to the shop across town instead." Posted by a competitor - "The manager is a ****** idiot." Profanity aimed at staff - "Here's the owner's home address." Personal information ### After: 4.4 from 36 reviews If Google took down those four 1-star reviews, the rating would show 4.4. Honest reviews, good or bad, stay. Getting there with new reviews alone would take about 16 more 5-star reviews.

[Get a Free Review Audit](https://removemyreviews.com/#quote) ## How we handle every review - **You pay only if the review is removed.** If the review stays up, you owe nothing for that review. - **The platform makes the final call.** Google and every other platform decide what comes down under their own rules. We prepare the strongest request those rules allow, and no one can promise a removal. - **Legitimate routes only.** Policy reports, appeals, legal requests when a review may be unlawful, and a public response when a review has to stay. No fake accounts, no mass flagging and no fake reviews. [How the process works](https://removemyreviews.com/how-it-works/) ## Not sure if it qualifies?
