Long story short,

I fired an employee. Her friends posted about 10 false google reviews to my business’s site. Some have no text, some have false narratives (slightly convincing). Of note, I have over 200 reviews and the lowest are 4-star except these 10 1-star reviews. All within a week of firing the employee. I went through the Google Reviews appeal process and they state that the reviews don’t violate their terms of service. I have no more recourse with them.

I contacted a major “bad review removal” company and they wanted $1k PER review. Is that normal? Any other way to deal with this?

Thanks!!

    Thank you, I really appreciate your honesty. My anger has died down, now I am just sad and trying to see what my options are.

      Hello, have to say, I do the same as what the previous person said when it comes to reading comments, I know my brother and father do too, I think many people do, so I guess it wont affect your business much, but I know it hurts…
