Frequently Asked Questions About Google Review Removal

How RepSolver Permanently Removes Google Reviews

Clear answers about our process, why DIY fails, and what to expect.

How do you remove bad Google reviews?

We remove bad Google reviews by escalating documented policy violations through non-public review workflows that are not available through Google’s standard self-service tools. Our team prepares policy-backed cases, manages submissions, and handles follow-ups until Google reaches a final determination.

Why can’t I remove these reviews myself?

Google’s self-service tools rely on basic automation and one-time review. They do not allow structured policy arguments, iterative follow-ups, or escalation when a valid violation is initially rejected. Most legitimate violations fail because they are reviewed once, out of context, and closed.

Our process operates beyond standard reporting and manages the case through escalation until Google completes a full policy review.

Does it matter if I have tried to remove the review?

No. Most clients come to us after attempting removal themselves. DIY attempts usually end after an initial rejection. We rebuild the case, align it to specific policy violations, and continue escalation through the appropriate review paths.

What types of reviews can be removed?

Reviews that violate Google’s content policies, including fake reviews, competitor or employee conflicts of interest, harassment, irrelevant content, reviews unrelated to a real customer experience, or reviews posted to manipulate ratings.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is based on scope and complexity. You only pay after a review is successfully removed. There are no subscriptions, retainers, or upfront fees.

How long does it take?

Timelines vary based on the violation type and Google’s internal review queues. While some reviews may take up to 30 days to be removed, most successful removals occur in under 14 days.

What if my review is not removed?

You are not billed unless a review is successfully removed. If a review remains live, we continue working the case through the appropriate escalation paths. There is no charge unless a removal occurs.

Are the reviews permanently removed?

Yes. When a review is removed, it is permanently removed. We do not suppress, hide, or bury reviews. All removals are final decisions made by Google.

Will you contact the reviewer or need access to my account?

No. We do not contact reviewers and we do not require access to your Google account. All work is handled through Google’s review systems.
