How to Remove Bad Google Reviews and Protect Your Online Reputation

The new word of mouth is online reviews in the current digital-first world. To the local business, Google Reviews can or break the decisions of customers. Studies show that:

  • Online review has been reported to impact purchasing behavior according to 93 percent of consumers.

  • One bad review would scare away 22 percent of the potential customers.

  • Once the number of negative reviews of a business exceeds four, the probability of losing potential customers increases to 70 and above.

That is, your Google Business Profile is not a listing, but rather your storefront. When left unattended, bad reviews may cost you credibility, sales and trust of a customer in the long-term.

However, here is the problem, not every bad review is just. Others are spam, fraudulent or even against Google policies. Regrettably, it is annoying, time-consuming and cumbersome to delete them manually.

It is where SnapBad comes in.

Why Do Bad Reviews Stay Up on Google?

You may ask yourself: how come that in the cases where a review obviously appears bogus or unjust, Google does not automatically delete it?

Here are a few reasons:

  1. Volume of reviews – Reviews volume Google obtains millions of reviews in a day. The bad ones are not always detected by automated systems.

  2. Policy complexity – Not all negative reviews are against policy. Google must have strong grounds to delete contents.

  3. Manual oversight – Reviews can be done manually and this can slow down the process even when flagged.
