How does Removeitly clean up reviews?

You send us the review and we do everything from there. Our team takes the case on and manages the full removal with the platform until it is gone — there is nothing for you to file, submit or follow up.

What do I need to do?

Only one thing: send us the request. Share the review link or your business name and we handle the rest, keeping you updated along the way. You pay once the review is removed.

Do I pay if the review isn't removed?

No. We operate on a strict No Removal, No Fee policy. If we can't remove the content, you don't pay a single cent.

How long does it take to remove a negative review?

Google review removals usually take 0–14 days. Timeframes for other platforms vary, and we keep you updated throughout the process.

Which platforms can you remove reviews from?

We remove reviews and content from Google, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, TripAdvisor, Trustpilot, Glassdoor, YouTube, Airbnb, and many more platforms across Australia.

Do you need access to my business accounts?

No. We never require login details or access to your business accounts. Our removal process works externally through official platform channels.

What is your success rate for cleaning up reviews in Australia?

Our success rate exceeds 90% across all platforms. We've helped over 1,500 Australian businesses remove harmful content and restore their online reputation. Reviews are typically removed successfully; however, platform decisions are outside our control and we do not take responsibility after removal.

What happens if a removed review comes back?

Reviews are typically removed successfully and reappearance is rare. If a platform later reinstates a review, that action is outside our control and is treated as a new removal request. We also offer ongoing monitoring to catch new fake reviews early.

Can you help with fake Google reviews?

Absolutely. Fake Google review removal is one of our core services. We identify policy violations and work with Google to have fraudulent reviews removed from your business profile.

How to Take Down a Google Review (and When You Can't)

A practical guide to getting a Google review taken down, including flagging, appeals and realistic timeframes.

Taking down a Google review: the short answer

To take down a Google review, you have to show Google it breaches a specific policy. Flag it from your Business Profile, choose the right violation, and appeal through the Reviews Management Tool if it's rejected.

Timeframes

• First automated decision: usually **3–7 days**

• Appeal decision: usually **another 5–10 days**

• With a properly prepared case: most of our cases resolve in **0–14 days**

Mistakes that get reports rejected

• Picking "Spam" for everything

• Reporting a genuine review because it's harsh

• Flagging the same review repeatedly from different accounts (this can harm your profile)

• Offering the reviewer money to delete it, which breaches Google's policies

When it makes sense to get help

If the review has already been rejected once, if several reviews arrived together, or if it's defamatory, an expert case usually succeeds where self-reporting didn't.

Not sure if your review qualifies?

Contact us and we'll assess whether your review qualifies for removal. It's free and confidential. Call 1300 114 672 or send us the review link through our Google review removal page. We're Australian owned, most cases are resolved within 0–14 days, and it's no win, no fee.

Reviews are typically removed successfully; however, platform decisions are outside our control and we do not take responsibility after removal. We maintain a 98% success rate for removals.
