No, businesses cannot directly delete negative reviews on Google. However, if a review violates Google’s review policies\u2014such as containing hate speech, offensive language, spam, or is unrelated to the actual customer experience\u2014the business can report it for removal. Google will then assess the review and take action if it violates their policies. It’s essential for businesses to maintain a professional tone when responding to such reviews and use the \u201cFlag as inappropriate\u201d feature for legitimate cases. For persistent fake reviews or review bombing, it\u2019s advisable to consult online reputation management services like Aiplex
