Frequently asked questions

Which reviews can Google remove?

Only reviews that violate its content policies: fake engagement, spam, wrong business, conflicts of interest, off-topic content, advertising, profanity, harassment, personal information, or illegal content. Honest negative experiences stay up.

How accurate is this checker?

It applies the same policy definitions Google publishes, but Google makes the final call on every report. Treat the verdict as a strong signal, not a guarantee.

How do I report a review that qualifies?

Use Google's Reviews Management Tool: select your business, report the review, and pick the closest violation. Evaluation takes about three days, with a one-time appeal if rejected.

What if the review is harsh but real?

Removal will fail, and your public reply becomes the play. A calm, accountable response often wins the customer back and always wins the audience reading it.
