How to Delete or Suppress Bad Business Reviews on Google and Trustpilot in Australia

Negative reviews on Google and Trustpilot can severely impact your business, driving away potential customers and damaging your reputation. Whether these reviews are false, misleading, or simply unfair, having a strategy to deal with them is essential. Reputation Station specialises in helping Australian businesses remove, suppress, and manage online reviews to maintain a strong and positive reputation.

Why Bad Reviews Stay Online

  • Review Platforms Protect User Content – Google and Trustpilot often refuse to remove reviews unless they violate policies.
  • High Visibility in Search Results – Reviews rank prominently on Google, influencing customer decisions.
  • Competitor or Fake Reviews – Some negative reviews are posted maliciously by competitors or trolls.
  • Public Perception Matters – Customers trust online reviews, so even a few bad ones can have a big impact.

How to Remove or Suppress Negative Reviews

1. Flag and Report Fake or Defamatory Reviews

  • Google’s Review Policy allows removal of reviews that contain hate speech, spam, or false claims.
  • Trustpilot’s Guidelines permit reporting of reviews that violate their rules.
  • Submit removal requests for reviews that are clearly fake or misleading.

2. Suppress Negative Reviews with SEO Strategies

If direct removal isn’t possible, Reputation Station can help reduce their visibility by promoting positive content.

  • Encourage happy customers to leave positive reviews to balance out the negative ones.
  • Improve your website’s SEO so that your official business page ranks higher than review sites.
  • Use social media and press releases to highlight positive customer experiences.

3. Respond to Negative Reviews Professionally

  • Acknowledge customer concerns and offer solutions where possible.
  • Remain professional and avoid emotional responses.
  • Demonstrate good customer service to counteract negativity.
