Is it possible to remove a bad Google review? 😩

Hi, I’m Linda Donnelly. For over ten years, my team at Business Solutions Marketing Group has helped small businesses get more customers. We’ve seen it all, and one thing is for sure: nothing hurts a business owner more than a bad review.

It’s like a punch to the gut, especially when you know the review is wrong. Maybe it was from a competitor, someone you never even worked with, or a person who just wanted to be mean. We know how frustrating that is.

The good news? It is possible to get a bad review removed. But here’s the honest truth: it’s not easy. Google has a very strict system. That’s why we’ve spent years figuring out how to do it the right way. And today, I’m excited to share that we have two new, proven programs to help you finally get that bad review removed for good.

Why are bad reviews so damaging to my business? 📉

We live in a world where everyone checks reviews before they buy anything. Think about it. When you’re looking for a new restaurant or a plumber, what’s the first thing you do? You go to Google and check their star rating and read what people are saying.

A study from a company called BrightLocal found that about 98% of people read online reviews for local businesses. And here’s the scary part: that same study found that even just one negative review can cause a business to lose a lot of customers. If your star rating goes down from a 4.5 to a 3.5, you can lose over a third of your customers.

What’s even worse is when the reviews are false or fake. They can be posted by competitors who want to hurt you, or they can be defamatory and filled with lies. You know it’s not true, but that bad review is sitting there for everyone to see. And it hurts your business.

Why are bad reviews so hard to remove? 🤯

You might have already tried to get a bad review taken down. Maybe you clicked the little flag button or even sent an email to Google. And you probably got a response that said, “This review does not violate our policies.”

That’s because Google has very strict rules for what they’ll remove. They won’t just remove a review because you disagree with it or think it’s unfair. They have to see that the review violates a specific rule, like:

  • It’s not a first-hand experience (the person never used your business).
  • It’s a fake review from a competitor.
  • It has bad language or personal attacks.
  • It’s a made-up story that is defamatory or slanderous.

A lot of the time, even when a review fits one of these rules, it takes a lot of time and a special process to get Google to agree. You need an expert who knows what to say and how to prove that the review is fake. My team has years of experience with this. We know how to talk to Google and how to present the evidence they need.

Our Two Proven Programs for Review Removal 🚀

We know that every business is different, and everyone has a different idea of what “risk” means. That’s why we created two different programs to help you get those reviews removed. Both programs are designed to get you results and help your business get its good name back.

Program 1: The High-Success Program

This program is for business owners who want a very high chance of success and want the review gone as soon as possible. Our removal team has a 99% removal rate for reviews that violate Google’s rules. We have a team of experts who know how to get things done.

  • 99% Removal Rate: We are very confident in our ability to get a violative review removed.
  • 50% Down Payment: You pay half of the fee to get started.
  • 30 Days Max: We work to get your review removed within 30 days. If it’s not removed, we stop work, and you don’t owe us the rest of the fee.

This program is more expensive, but it comes with a high success rate and a quick turnaround time. We believe it’s the best option for people who want the highest chance of success in a short amount of time.

Program 2: The No-Risk Program

This program is for business owners who want to try and get a review removed without paying anything upfront. It’s a lower-risk option.

  • 40% Removal Rate: This program has a lower success rate because our expert team only gets paid when the review comes down. This means they are more selective about which reviews they take on. They’ll try, but the chances of success are not as high as with Program 1.
  • No Payment Until Review Is Removed: You don’t pay us anything to start. We only get paid when the review is successfully removed.

With both programs, you will never be asked to pay with Venmo or Zelle. We only accept secure payments via Credit Card or Bank Draft. This is a secure and professional way to handle payments, and it shows you we are a trustworthy company.

Little-Known Stats That Matter 💡

  • A single star can cost you a lot. A study from a company called PowerReviews found that for every one-star increase in a business’s average rating, that business can see an increase in sales of up to 9%. That means if a bad review is costing you a star, it could be costing you a lot of money every month.
  • Most people don’t leave reviews. About 94% of people who have a good experience with a business don’t leave a review. But 7 out of 10 people who have a bad experience will leave one. This means that a few bad reviews can look a lot worse than they are, and a business has to work hard to get a good rating.
  • Fake reviews are everywhere. It’s hard to get a clear number, but experts believe that between 10% and 15% of all online reviews are fake. That means when a business owner gets a bad review, there’s a good chance it might not even be real.

Key Takeaways

Getting a bad review removed is not easy, but it is possible. It requires a deep understanding of Google’s rules and considerable effort. Here are the most important things to remember:

  1. Don’t wait: A bad review can hurt your business every single day it’s online.
  2. Know your options: We offer two different programs to help you get a review removed, based on your needs and budget.

  4. Trust is everything: We are a trusted company that uses secure payment methods and only gets paid for results.
  5. Act now: The businesses that get on this trend now will be the ones that win in the long run.
