Review Dispute

The formal process of asking a platform (Google, Yelp) to remove a review that violates their policy. Success rates are low; respond publicly is faster.

Quick Definition

The formal process of asking a platform (Google, Yelp) to remove a review that violates their policy. Success rates are low; respond publicly is faster.

Why It Matters

Reviews are the single highest-leverage signal in local search. Google's algorithm weighs review count, recency, response rate, and sentiment — and every prospect reading your profile makes a snap judgment based on what they see.
