Can You Remove Google Reviews? What Australian Businesses Can Delete

Can you delete or remove a Google review from your Business Profile? The honest answer, what qualifies and what to do next.

Can You Remove Google Reviews? What Australian Businesses Can Delete

Can you remove Google reviews yourself?

No — a business owner can't delete a Google review directly. Only Google (or the person who wrote it) can remove it. What you *can* do is report a review that breaks Google's policies and ask Google to take it down.

Can you delete a Google review you wrote?

Yes. If you posted the review, open Google Maps, go to Your contributions → Reviews, and choose Delete review.

Which Google reviews can be removed?

  • Fake reviews from people who were never customers
  • Conflict of interest — competitors, ex-employees or the reviewer's own business
  • Harassment, threats or hate speech
  • Off-topic reviews about the wrong business or general rants
  • Personal information such as phone numbers or health details
  • Which reviews won't be removed?

    An honest negative review from a real customer usually stays, even if it feels unfair. In that case a calm, professional reply and more genuine reviews are the best response.

    How to ask Google to remove a review

  • Open your Google Business Profile and find the review.
  • Click the three dots and choose Report review.
  • Pick the policy it breaks.
  • Check progress in Google's Reviews Management Tool and appeal once if refused.
