Remove Google reviews that break Google's rules

Report and appeal Google reviews that breach Google's policies, with evidence and follow-through.

The short answer

Google removes Business Profile reviews that break its policies: fake engagement, conflicts of interest, off-topic content, harassment, hate and personal information. We check each review against those policies and your customer records, report the ones that qualify with evidence, use Google's review management and appeal process, and help you respond well to the genuine ones.

Who this is for

  • Businesses with fake or non-customer reviews on Google
  • Multi-location businesses facing review attacks
  • Professionals receiving abusive or off-topic reviews

Who it is not for

  • Removing genuine negative reviews

Routes we use

How the work runs

  1. Eligibility reviewWe test each URL against the relevant law and platform policy before anything is filed.
  2. Evidence packWe build the submission: identity, context, dates, policy clauses and supporting documents.
  3. Submission and follow-upRequests are filed, tracked and chased. Refusals are appealed where grounds exist.
  4. FallbackWhere removal is refused or unavailable, we move the case to search repair.

Evidence you will need

  • Business Profile access
  • Customer or booking records
  • Screenshots with dates

What you receive

  • Review-by-review assessment
  • Reports and appeals filed
  • Reply drafts for genuine reviews
  • Pattern analysis for suspected attacks

What we cannot promise

  • Google decides. We cannot remove reviews that comply with its policies.
Legal boundary. Digital Repu coordinates removal casework and does not give legal advice. Where a legal route is needed, advice comes from regulated solicitors. See how we work with legal partners.

Frequently asked questions

How long does Google take?

Reports are often reviewed within days; appeals can take longer.

Can you remove a one-star review with no text?

Only if it breaks a policy, for example because it is fake engagement. A rating alone is not grounds.

Do I need to give you access to my profile?

Manager access speeds things up, but we can also guide you through each step.

What about reviews from former employees?

Reviews from employees or ex-employees about their employment may breach the conflict of interest policy.

Is my enquiry confidential?

Yes. You can make first contact without giving your name, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share case details, and case files are held in restricted, encrypted storage with access limited to your case team.
