For restaurants
Google review removal for restaurants. Pay only when Google removes a review, pay only for the ones Google removes
We file on policy-violating Google reviews: wrong-location mix-ups, off-menu dish complaints, third-party delivery gripes, health-code rumors with no specifics, through Google’s official content-policy channel. You pay only when Google actually removes the review.
The patterns
Four restaurant reviews a written Google policy clause can cover
Wrong-location 1-stars (the chain mix-up)
A customer leaves a 1-star review for your location based on a bad meal at a different branch, or worse, a different chain entirely. Policy clause: off-topic.
Delivery complaints when you don't offer delivery
DoorDash or Uber Eats driver mishandled the order, food arrived cold, courier was rude, and the 1-star lands on your Google listing. You don't run the delivery. Policy clause: off-topic.
Dish complaints from weeks the dish wasn't on the menu
A review trashes a seasonal special you pulled three months ago, or a dish you've never served. Your menu history goes in as the attachment. Policy clause: off-topic, or not a customer.
Health-code rumor reviews with no specific facts
Vague claims about cleanliness, pests, or food safety with no date, no order details, no specifics. Policy clause: misinformation, or conflict of interest when the reviewer's public profile ties them to a competing restaurant.
What counts
Which reviews a policy clause covers, and which it doesn’t
These can be argued
Every one maps to a rule Google has written down.
- Wrong-location reviews (different branch, different restaurant)
- Third-party delivery complaints (DoorDash, Uber Eats, Grubhub)
- Reviews about dishes never on your menu
- Health-code rumors with no specifics or dates
- Ex-employee or competitor reviews (conflict of interest)
- Harassment, hate speech, profanity
These are protected
A guest ate here and did not enjoy it. Google protects that review.
- Real customer complaints about food, service, or wait time
- Honest critique of a dish you actually serve
- Reviews about a real visit, even if the tone is harsh
A case rests on a published Google policy clause. Every filing names the clause it relies on, and you pick which reviews go forward.
Pricing
$150 to $250 per review · Billed only when Google removes it · No retainer · No setup fee
Google Maps lets diners filter restaurants by rating. A fake 1-star counts against your average in every one of those searches until it is removed.

What restaurant owners ask us first
We get reviews for the wrong location all the time. Can Google really fix that?
They can be argued under Google's off-topic clause, since the review is about a different place. The case points to your address and the location the reviewer describes, including any chain confusion.
What about DoorDash and Uber Eats complaints that land on our Google listing?
Off-topic under Google's policy: the review describes a third-party delivery experience, not your restaurant. The argument is clearest when the review names the delivery platform, because the text itself then shows who handled the order.
Someone left a vague health-code rumor with no details. Removable?
It can be argued under Google's misinformation clause when the claim has no date, no order and no specifics, and the reviewer's public profile can add to it if it shows a run of reviews against competing restaurants. Run a free audit to see which of your reviews it applies to.
A one-star with no text at all, just the star. Anything we can do?
A bare rating is hard to argue on its own. Google's policy does not require a review to have text, so a star with no words gives a clause very little to attach to. The case that opens is when a run of them lands together from accounts with no other activity, because then the argument is about the pattern rather than about any single star.
What if Google rejects it?
You pay nothing. Flagging a review never charges your card, the fee is invoiced only after Google removes the review. A rejected case closes unbilled. The price shown next to that review before filing is simply never charged.

Which rule each of these actually breaks
A review comes down because it breaks a named clause, not because it is unfair. These pages quote each clause in Google's own words.
We do this for other trades too
The filing route does not change by industry. What changes is the shape the reviews take and the records you already keep.
Two things worth knowing up front
Which clause a review breaks, and what removing it would actually do to your rating. Both answers are free and take a moment.
How we compare, in our own words
