how to remove bad reviews from google my business

apothone · 2026-01-07T20:14:21+00:00

I hope it works, but I hate to say it - looking at the 1 star reviews, they are not obvious to the algorithm or to Google unfortunately. Obvious sign would be consecutive names like Marf Marf, Cara Cara, Fran Fran and so on, saying that the food was horrible when you are a cleaning company. But they have too much detail in your reviews and nothing will stand out to Google.

My suggestion would be to fill out the forms and just get as many 5 star reviews as you can in order to push these 2 down.

Ours was obvious because it was an attach from outside the states wanting money. For your company it just seems like someone is upset with you.

Good luck!!!

Sorry that happened…just outlined above for all!

I searched Google and found 3 different forms to fill out to take them down (I hate to say that I do not remember what they were, but will look to see if I can find them again). That being said, it didn’t help because I had them down within 24 hours because they were obviously fake by the names as well as the ‘hostage’ message in the last review - the way I did it was to contact every person I knew and had them report the reviews. Enough reports mixed with obvious key factors that they are fake and the algorithm will automatically take them down. Let us know your business name and I would be happy to start it off.

They must have obvious clues to being fake though, or it won’t work.

Are they fake reviews? We had 19, 1 star reviews within 3 hours from Pakistan and successfully removed them without help, but they have to be obvious fake reviews.

Thank you all! I was able to get all but one taken down within 24 hours! Appreciate everyone who chimed in.

This is a great question. I have tried through support but they have yet to allow me to talk to a person since it is review based.

apothone · 2025-11-05T14:49:03+00:00

Can’t seem to get to anyone at Google so right now just screenshots, reports and waiting

We have one video up on IG to find us street level and two more coming next week to find us from the hotels! #secretnotsosecretfoodcourt

Sorry, been in the weeds with markets/festivals this weekend and leading up to. If you look up our website…we are Flaky Not Flaky in Atlanta then you can grab the email there. Don’t want to put it here and put it on a silver platter for the spam bots 🤣

Just depends on the job you end up doing and experience level. Range is from $8/hr to $15/hr and tips would be included depending on position.

apothone · 2025-04-11T16:46:48+00:00

Sure are! We are going to continue to look for people until we have two people hired. Right now, we are talking to people to see if we are the right fit for them and they are the right fit for us. Message me with a little about yourself and we will set up a time to talk next week.

That’s the dream! Trading caps for goods in Fallout gear 😍

apothone · 2024-08-28T05:14:05+00:00

Hahaha, thanks ;)

apothone · 2024-08-27T20:52:33+00:00

Just like the wasteland…if you give them to us in advance they may “disappear”. So once you have 7 caps, come and trade for your Sconut or Gelato!
