01What it costs you
What a bad review really costs you
Plenty of reviews violate Google’s policies. While one sits on your profile, this is what it takes.
You lose the scroll
Most people skip anything under four stars without a second thought.
You lose the ranking
Your rating shapes how often Google shows your listing at all. Lower score, fewer eyes.
You lose the benefit of the doubt
People decide how they feel about you before they have ever spoken to you.
You lose nothing by checking
The audit is free. There is no reason not to find out.
02The law in Texas
Is it legal to remove Google reviews in Texas?
Texas has no review law of its own, but a federal one, the Consumer Review Fairness Act, protects honest opinions: a business cannot write a contract that stops a customer posting one. A Dallas appeals court made the same point when it threw out a business’s lawsuit against customers over a bad review. Removing a review that violates Google’s policies is a different thing, and open to any owner.
We play by Google’s policies
Some companies bury bad reviews under fake good ones, or sell “removal” that is really just hiding a review. All of it risks getting a profile suspended. We stay far away from it.
No shortcuts, ever
Some companies cut corners to move faster. We do the work properly, by Google’s own policies.
We only win if you win
No result, no bill. We take the risk, so we are picky about which reviews we take on.
You always know what is happening
You can see where each review stands whenever you want, without waiting on an email.
03Timing
How long does it take to remove a review?
Obvious violations, like spam, move fast. A fake account built to look real takes more digging, so it can take longer.
Spam and obvious violations
The clearest cases are usually the quickest to be decided.
Fake accounts built to look real
These take more work to show for what they are, so they run longer.
