Google My Business Review Removal Request Status Tool

Gabriela Carretero • Jun 09, 2021

Google My Business has launched a new tool!

This tool allows a business owner to not only see the reviews for their business, but also quickly report those reviews for policy violations and check the status or reviews they already reported. As a business owner, one is also able to quickly submit an appeal if the review reported was not removed. 

Previously, there was no way to check the status of reviews you requested for removal in an organized display. 

With this new feature within Google My Business, local SEO professionals can see recent reviews on their listings in a single place and check the status of reviews they reported to Google. 

If you visit this link, it will bring you to a page where one can select their business and see a list of the reviews that they have currently have reported along with a list of all existing reviews.


After you select report a new review for takedown, Google gives you a list of your recent reviews that you can click to either “view on Maps” or “report a problem”, which leads to a request to remove the review:



If you select the option to check the status of a review reported previously, it will show you those reviews, including the current status of the report.



You can then select an individual review to see an expanded summary and even submit an appeal if your takedown request was not accepted.


It’s important to note there is a limit to the number of reviews Google will show you within this tool. Joy Hawkins, owner of Local SEO agency Sterling Sky, reported: 


“This feature seems to only work for Google My Business accounts that have a small number of listings in them. I tried it in an account with 33 listings, and it said, ‘Based on the number of Business Profiles you manage, this process is not available.’ Our agency account also had too many listings to qualify to use it.”
