Have ratings deleted on Google - how it works

Google reviews about businesses, restaurants, and other services can be deleted. How to remove unpleasant reviews or your own reviews, read in this guide.

Delete your own rating on Google

If you have written a review for a place, a book or an app on Google, you can also delete it:

1. For example, you can delete reviews that you have written about a place with your Google Plus account.
2. To do this, log in, click on "Local" in the menu on the left of your Google Plus profile and on "Reviews" under "My Places". Select the desired evaluation report and edit or delete it by clicking on the corresponding symbol.
3. In the Google Play Store, click on "My Play Activities" in the menu at the bottom left. Select the desired rating and click on the trash can icon in the bottom right corner.
4. On Google Maps you can find your ratings for deletion via the side menu. Call up "My Posts" here and then click on the "Reviews" tab. You can delete them individually using the mini menu behind each of your posts.

Have other users delete their rating on Google

If you have a company with which you are also registered with Google, inappropriate or incorrect reviews can also be written about you. These can quickly damage a company's reputation. You can do that:

1. Basically, you can report inappropriate posts in any form to Google. Deleting a negative review is a bit more complex.
2. Call up your business listing using Google Maps or Google Search.
3. Then select the inappropriate review or rating and click the little flag to report it to Google.
4. You can also request a deletion directly from Google using this form. However, please note that the process can take a long time.
5. To find out whether the review actually violates Google guidelines, you can visit the Google support pages.
