When removing a single review is the right move
Most businesses don't have a profile problem – they have a review problem. A solid 4.6 rating drops to 4.3 because of two 1-star attacks, and suddenly prospects click on the competitor. In that situation, deleting the entire profile would be overkill: you'd lose all your good reviews too.
- Single-review removal is right when your profile is healthy overall and one or a few reviews are unfair, fake or abusive.
- Removing the entire profile is right when the profile is damaged across the board and you want a genuine fresh start.
- Answering publicly is right for honest criticism from real customers – that's feedback, not a removal case (when to ignore, reply or remove).
Which reviews can be removed – and which can't
We tell you honestly before you pay anything. Good chances exist for reviews that break Google's review policies or the law:
- Fake reviews and attacks by competitors (how to spot fake reviews)
- Reviews from people who were never customers
- Insults, personal attacks and false factual claims
- Off-topic content, spam or reviews meant for another business
- Star-only ratings without text – via a more extensive procedure (complex case) (background)
What it costs to remove a Google review
The price depends on two things: whether the review has text and how old it is. Fresh reviews are much easier to remove than reviews that have been online for months. How these prices compare with lawyers and other providers is covered in Google review removal cost.
| Review age | Success chance | Price per removed review |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 4 weeks old | approx. 90 % | $179 |
| Older than 4 weeks | approx. 50 % | $229 |
| Star-only rating (no text, any age) | Google decides | $300 per removed review |
Star-only ratings (stars, no text) are removed with a more extensive procedure (complex case). They cost $300 per review, with no surcharge for older ones. As with all reviews, you store a card or PayPal when ordering and it is charged automatically only after the rating has been removed.
If several reviews need to go, the volume discount applies automatically:
| Number of reviews | Discount |
|---|---|
| 1 – 2 | – |
| 3 – 4 | −10 % |
| 5 – 9 | −15 % |
| 10 or more | −30 % |
Examples: 3 recent reviews cost $537, minus 10 % = $483. 2 recent and 3 older reviews cost $1,045, minus 15 % = $888. The discount level is set by the number of reviews we accept after the free assessment – star-only ratings count too – and applies to every one of them. You still only pay for reviews that are actually removed: if we accept 3 and 2 come down, you pay 2 × $179 minus 10 % = $322.20. Mixed order: 2 recent reviews with text plus 1 star-only rating = 3 reviews, so 10 % off – the star-only rating costs $270, the two others $161.10 each – each charged only after removal.
Payment per review: removal times can differ from review to review – usually 1–2 weeks, sometimes faster, occasionally a little longer. That's why payment can happen per review, each charged automatically to your stored card or PayPal once it's removed. Reviews that we're still working on don't cost you anything yet.

Select reviewsHow long does it take?
Usually 1–2 weeks, sometimes faster, occasionally a little longer, depending on the review and the reason for removal. You don't have to do anything in the meantime – we keep you posted. What happens on Google's side in the meantime – report status, the Reviews Management Tool and appeals – is explained in how long Google takes to remove a review.
