If you'd rather try the free route first, our guide explains how to delete a Google Business Profile yourself – and why the listing usually stays online afterwards. This page is about the service: having the listing removed completely.
Who a Google Business Profile removal service is for
Most owners who come to us don't want to “manage” their profile anymore – they want it gone. Typical situations:
- Business closed, sold, moved or retired: the business no longer exists in its old form, but the listing – and every review attached to your name – keeps showing up.
- Rebrand or fresh start: new name, new concept, new entity – and you don't want years of old reviews following you.
- Duplicate or outdated listing: an old listing with a former address, phone number or name competes with your current one.
- The listing does more harm than good: unfair or fake reviews have pushed the rating so low that the profile scares customers away.
- Multi-location cleanup: closed branches, old locations and leftover listings across a chain or franchise.
- Agencies: marketing and reputation agencies that need listings removed for their clients.
If your business has closed or been sold, you may also want to read how to remove a company from Google – including when transferring the listing to a buyer is the better choice.
Can your Google Business Profile be removed?
Enter your business name – we find your listing and check for free whether complete removal, including all reviews, is possible. From $495 excl. VAT, paid only after removal.
Start free checkWhat exactly gets removed – and what stays
A complete removal takes the public listing off Google – not just your access to it:
- The listing itself: business name, address, phone number, hours and categories on Google Search and Google Maps.
- All reviews: every star rating and every review text – good ones included.
- All photos: the ones you uploaded and the ones customers added.
- The Maps pin: your business no longer appears as a place on Google Maps.
What stays untouched: your website, your Google Ads account and campaigns, your Gmail and Google account, Google Workspace – and your regular (organic) results in Google Search. We never get access to any of them.

How the removal works – step by step
- Free check online: enter your business name, pick your listing and see whether removal is possible – and your exact price.
- Order: you place your order online. Nothing is charged at this point.
- Transfer owner rights: you add us as an owner in your Business Profile – Google sends the invitation by email through its own system. No passwords, no access to your Gmail, your Google account or Google Ads.
- Removal: usually about 24 hours after the ownership transfer. If Google additionally requires verification, it can take a few days longer.
- Confirmation and payment: once the listing has been removed, you get a confirmation and a payment link – and pay within 48 hours.
You don't need to prepare documents or write to Google. We keep you posted by chat, WhatsApp or email until the listing is gone.

Limits: what we don't do
- Only on behalf of the owner: we work exclusively for the owner or managing director of the business in question.
- No competitors or third parties: we don't remove other businesses' or other people's listings – not even on request.
- No public places: landmarks, parks, squares, government offices and similar public places are excluded.
- No listings that help consumers identify fraud: we don't remove listings whose purpose is to let consumers recognize scams.
- Honest criticism isn't removed: fair reviews from real customers are feedback – the right response is a reply, not a removal request.
- Google decides: the decision on every removal is Google's alone. That's why you pay only after successful removal.
Only a few bad reviews? Remove single reviews instead
If your profile is fine apart from one or a few unfair reviews, you don't need to delete the whole listing. With our single-review removal you keep your profile and your good reviews, pick the reviews that should go – and pay only for the ones that are actually removed.
