Running a compliant business in Ontario isn’t cheap or simple. ECRA for electricians. RECO for realtors. TSSA sign-off for gas work. WSIB on top of all of it, plus whatever body governs your specific trade.
You did the work. Paid for the paperwork. Earned it properly.
Then a stranger who was never your customer drops a one-star review calling you a scam, and Google puts that fake complaint front and centre, above every credential you actually worked for.
Erase Trax track down reviews like this. We identify the exact rule broken, build a proper case, and take it to Google directly. If it doesn’t come down, you owe us nothing.
Send your profile over. Let’s see what we can actually fix.

We read every review on your profile and separate what genuinely breaks Google's rules from what's simply an honest complaint you were never going to win over. That second kind can't legally come down, and we'll say so before taking a penny from you.
We dig into reviewer history, timing patterns, and your own records to show when someone was never actually a customer. That evidence goes into the file before we submit anything.
Every case goes through Google's official reporting process. No shortcuts, no third-party tools that could get your whole listing suspended.
When Google rejects a case, we go back, sharpen the evidence, and try again, rather than walking away.
Your dashboard shows exactly where each case stands. No chasing us by email.
Once your profile's cleaned up, we keep monitoring it, so the next fake review gets caught in days instead of sitting there for months.
A quick look at genuine outcomes, showing ratings before and after the fake reviews were cleared.
Every certification paid for, every insurance policy current, and still losing calls to a review that never should have existed.
RECO-registered with a real track record, but one bitter review from a deal that fell apart can outweigh years of closings in a hesitant buyer's eyes.
With months-long waitlists to see a specialist, patients won't risk a clinic whose rating was pulled down by something fake.
One fake accusation of overcharging can take years of honest service to fully undo.
Away from busy foot traffic, your Google profile is often the only reason anyone finds you at all.
A sour review from someone who lost a case they were destined to lose can quietly shape every future client's first impression.
With a working season this short, one bad review posted in April can wipe out an entire summer, with no chance to recover it later in the year.
Across a province this big, people often book purely off reviews without ever seeing your location in person first.
None of your licensing, insurance, or clean regulatory record shows up next to your business name. The star rating carries the whole first impression by itself.
A fake review doesn't just cost the people who saw it. It costs the people who never even saw your listing, because your local ranking slipped along with your score.
Outside the busiest stretches of the GTA, people commit to one option rather than comparing five nearby. A weak rating pushes that choice toward someone else.
In trades with a short working window, a badly timed fake review isn't a rough patch. It's the whole year gone.
Google won’t remove something just because it stings. It removes reviews that genuinely break its rules, and figuring out exactly where that line sits is most of what this work involves.
Reviews from people who were never customers
Made-up posts, reviews from a competitor's account, or a review dropped on the wrong business entirely.
A sudden wave of one-star ratings from accounts with no real history, all appearing within days of each other.
Links, ads, or the exact same complaint pasted across several unrelated business pages.
Content targeting your staff personally rather than the service, including anything discriminatory or threatening.
Complaints unrelated to an actual visit, or clearly meant for a different business.
Reviews from ex-staff, rival owners, or anyone with something to gain from your rating dropping.
"Never used this business, but I would not recommend them. Stay away from this company."
"Terrible business. Check out my profile and contact me if you want better service at a lower price."
"This company is dishonest and should be shut down. I have never been a customer, but everyone in Ontario should avoid them."
We check every flagged review against Google's actual policy wording, looking for the exact clause it broke. Without one, a request goes nowhere.
We match that breach with the specific documentation Google expects to see, not just an opinion.
We submit, follow up, and escalate as needed. One rejection isn't the final answer on a case worth winning.
Send over your Google Business Profile. We go through every review and give you a clear yes or no on each, free of charge, nothing owed either way.
We tackle whatever's dragging your average down hardest first, so your score starts recovering early rather than at the very end.
Everything runs through Google's official channels, with full visibility in your dashboard the entire time.
Once the clean-up is done, we keep watching and help you build a steady stream of genuine reviews, making your profile harder to knock off course.
Instead of undercutting the licensed, hard-earned business you've actually built.
Once the shaky rating that was holding people back is gone.
Where most people never scroll past the first few results anyway.
Quiet background monitoring catches a bad-faith post within days, not after it costs you a whole season.
Not bundled into a bigger marketing package. Review removal is what we do, which is exactly why we know precisely where Google's rules actually sit.
No guessing, no mass-flagging tricks. Each request points to a specific breach with real evidence behind it.
Failed cases cost you nothing. Since we only get paid on success, we're careful about which cases we take on.
Real-time tracking through your dashboard, not a vague update sent whenever someone remembers.
If a review is genuine, we'll say so and steer you elsewhere. A truthful no costs you nothing.
A tightly documented case moves through Google's process faster, which is how we build every single one.
Send us your Google Business Profile. We’ll go through every review, give you a straight answer on what breaks the rules, and let you take it from there. Free, with nothing owed either way.
