What kind of Google reviews can be removed?

Google may remove reviews that violate its content policies. These include spam and fake content, off-topic content, restricted or illegal content, sexually explicit material, offensive language, personal attacks, conflicts of interest (like reviews by employees), and threats. Additionally, reviews intended solely to manipulate ratings or promote services unfairly are also subject to removal. Reviews must reflect genuine experiences with the business. If a business suspects manipulation or malicious content, it can report the review to Google for investigation. Staying aware of Google’s guidelines is crucial for both users and businesses in managing online reputation effectively.
