Business owners do not have to pay anything to delete Google reviews. However, there is no guarantee that they will be taken down. Contact Google to report the review if you believe it violates one of their policies.
Unfortunately, no, people can still see your reviews even after you delete your account. In fact, it is actually a lot harder to manage or delete them if you delete your account. Instead of deleting your profile, focus on optimizing your Google Business Profile to attract positive feedback.
Business owners can not disable reviews on their Google My Business profile. However, Google may temporarily block them if you get a lot of bad ones in a short time, as this may be spam. Instead, focus on creating a positive experience by responding to them professionally.
Google does not allow certain prohibited content on their platform. If a review does contain prohibited content, you can report it. They will conduct a manual review process to make a final determination.
If you report a review on Google, it can take anywhere from 2-7 business days to them to remove the review. If they decide to conduct a manual review process, it can take a little bit longer. Make sure to check your email inbox for updates, as they will notify you of their verdict. If they haven’t come to a decision after a week, contact their support team.
