Can negative Google reviews be removed legally?

Yes, negative Google reviews can be removed, but only if they violate Google’s content policies. This includes reviews that are fake, spam, contain offensive language, or are posted by competitors with malicious intent. Legal removal isn’t about silencing valid criticism; it’s about ensuring online reviews remain fair, genuine, and policy-compliant. Businesses must gather evidence and request removal through proper Google channels, which can be time-consuming and often unsuccessful without expertise.
