Malicious reviews can cause years of damage
Google is the world’s most popular online search platform by far, and users have grown to trust its results. When reviews are then abused to hurt your business, potential customers are going to believe them. For ratings-driven consumers, finding a competitor with better reviews is as easy as scrolling down the page.
The potential impact of false reviews cannot be overstated: fewer customer visits, fallen revenue, and hampered growth can endure for years. Your hard-earned reputation can be smeared with just a few minutes’ work, deterring prospective clients every time your business appears online.
Since Google doesn’t verify the authenticity of reviews, you’re open to attack from anyone – genuine experience or not. You can respond to the review, but even then your rating is still unfairly lowered.
The best protection for your business is to permanently remove these reviews, like they never happened.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you remove a Google review?
We remove Google reviews by making an application directly to the team at Google. In this application, our team of skilled legal professionals highlight the issue/s with the review, relying on the relevant Google Policies, Australian Law or a combination of both to demonstrate this.
Following this first application, our team will proceed to engage with Google. This will either be in the form of providing more information as per their request or re-submitting an application, as it is common practice that a removal request is initially rejected. It is the expert knowledge of our team which allows for the successful managing of a review application.
If successful, Google will remove the review willingly from their platform. There is no “bribing”, or “incentivising” involved. It is an entirely legitimate process.
Can you (really) remove Google reviews?
We can permanently remove reviews from Google through our application process. Once Google has deemed an application we have made successful and subsequently removed a review, it is removed completely and it is highly unlikely it will re-appear.
Our applications aim to demonstrate that a review is in violation of Google’s Policies or the Australian Law and therefore once successful, it’s very unlikely that Google will re allow this violating review to exist on their platform.
How long does it take to remove a Google review?
Depending on the nature of the content, the time it takes to remove a review from Google can be between 24-48 hours and 60 days, with the majority being removed within 1-4 weeks.
We usually expect an initial response from Google within 7 days after we make our first application to them. Following this, we will continue to provide them with the information necessary to make their decision.
It is unfortunately common that an application is rejected by Google at this stage, however this does not mean that is their final decision. In this case, the above process will be conducted again and the time for removal is therefore extended
Is it legal to remove bad reviews?
We remove reviews legally, following legitimate processes and procedures in accordance with the relevant platform policies and the Australian law. Our specialised team of legal professionals use applicable bills, statutes and platform content guidelines in making an application to demonstrate the need for removal.
These processes in no way involve “incentives”, “bribes”, or any related dubious behaviour. Our applications are submitted directly to the platform host. Ultimately, it is the decision of the platform itself to remove the review.
Will Google remove fake reviews?
Google will remove fake reviews if they are satisfied it breaches their content policies.
If a review is posted that very clearly violates a policy, it is possible for it to be automatically detected by Google as a fake review and removed instantly. However, this is very rare. Given the large amount of reviews that are posted to Google, it’s very likely that fake reviews go unnoticed.
Therefore, it is often necessary for us to prepare an application to Google which demonstrates that the specific review is indeed fake and in violation of content policies. While this application is not always successful on first submission, if it is evidently fake then our team will.
How much does it cost to remove a Google review?
The cost for removing a review from Google varies based on the content in question. We will need to see the review/series of reviews before we can provide you with a price estimate. The cost will be dictated by the anticipated timeline and the scope of work required. There is no commitment or risk in contacting us for a confidential discussion. After examining the content, our consultants can usually provide a quote on the same day at no cost to you.
Remember, you only pay for what we successfully remove. We will however ask for a small deposit before we begin which is fully refundable if we are unsuccessful. We aim to be an affordable alternative to engaging in legal services, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. As such, our prices are typically less expensive than a lawyer, who is unlikely to agree to a “no-win no-fee” arrangement...
