How do I remove a bad review online?
The simple and quickest answer is that you can not remove a review from the website once it’s been posted. This might not be what you wanted to hear but read on to actually get an answer on what can be done!
Okay so going back to removing a bad review… If the review is extremely bad, defamatory, libelous and particularly incendiary then you may have luck by asking the review website to remove it.
Fake & Unfair Business Reviews
Even if the review is unfair, and even if it is fake and fabricated the review website will still not remove it unless it satisfied that it is obviously fake. A long, drawn out and time wasting procedure may then ensue but at the end of the day the review will still remain online and be there for everybody to see.
Going the legal route. You can get a solicitor to begin a case against either the person who posted the negative review all the review website itself but this is very expensive and extremely unlikely to work. We work with legal firms who pass their clients onto us after the legal route has failed. This illustrates how hard it is to remove a bad review once it has been posted online.
