Reputation Management FAQs

How Long Does it Take to Remove a Negative Review?

The time it takes to remove a review varies. Reviews that clearly violate site guidelines can typically be removed within a few weeks. For reviews that fall into a more ambiguous category, it may take several dispute attempts. Our service includes unlimited review disputes, and we persistently challenge the validity of the review and the reviewer’s account based on guideline violations.

Can You Guarantee Removal?
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee removal since the final decision is made by the review platform’s support team. The platform must determine if the review truly violates its guidelines.
What If the Review Gets Removed and the Consumer Posts it Again?
If a review is removed and reposted, we’ll be notified and will initiate a new dispute. While Google and Facebook don't notify the reviewer when their review is removed, Yelp does alert the reviewer when they’ve taken down a review.
What is the Dispute Process?
Each review site has its own slightly different process for disputing reviews. For example, on Google, the first step is flagging the review, then waiting seven days for a response. If the review remains active (which is often the case), you can escalate the issue by submitting a formal dispute, which will be reviewed by a Google specialist.
Can I Dispute Reviews Myself?
Yes, it’s possible, but it’s a time-intensive task. Sometimes Google updates you on the progress of disputes, but other times it doesn’t. It often requires ongoing manual effort and persistence to follow up.
Can Negative Reviews Be Removed from Review Sites?
Yes, each review site has its own set of terms and conditions that reviews must comply with. Many consumers don’t read these terms when posting their reviews. When we dispute a review, we base our argument on these terms, and if the review violates them, we can get it removed.
What Are Common Reviews That Can Be Removed During the Dispute Process?

The reviews most likely to be removed are those that violate a review site’s terms, including:

  • Spam or promotional content
  • Personal attacks from a former employee
  • Competitor reviews
  • Reviews for the wrong location
How Many Review Sites Do You Dispute Reviews On?

We handle reviews on over 100 well-known review platforms, including Google, Facebook, Yelp, TripAdvisor, Angi, Healthgrades, and many more.

Do You Remove Negative Search Results or Landing Pages?

We do not remove search results or landing pages. Our focus is strictly on disputing and removing reviews from reputable sites. We do not engage with platforms like RipOff Report, Pissed Consumer, or personal blogs.

Why Is It Important to Remove Reviews that Violate Terms & Conditions?

Negative reviews that violate site guidelines can lead to a loss of customers. A recent survey showed that 80% of consumers avoid businesses because of a negative review they encountered online.

Why Should I Respond to My Online Reviews?

Responding to reviews, whether positive or negative, is essential since 90% of consumers read responses, and 70% expect a reply within a week. Responding with relevant keywords can also improve your business’s local search ranking on Google.

What Reviews Should I Respond to and How Often?

We recommend responding to all reviews, both positive and negative, within 24 to 48 hours. Engaging with your customers shows you value their feedback and helps build a strong online reputation.

How Do I Use Reviews to Improve My Business?

To leverage online reviews:

  • Respond to both positive and negative reviews to engage with your customers.
  • Encourage reviews from satisfied customers.
  • Incorporate keywords in your responses to improve your SEO.
  • Monitor review performance across different platforms, such as Google, Yelp, and Facebook.
