Frequently Asked Questions

Deletely seeks to completely remove negative or unfair reviews about your business through a variety of processes. We work with the platforms that publish the malicious content to identify certain elements that will force the removal of a review.
If you have negative reviews on platforms other than those listed above, we will review on a case-by-case basis whether we can assist in having the content removed.

The main platforms Deletely removes negative reviews from are Google reviews / Google My Business, Trustpilot and Reviews.io. These are the platforms that make up most online views for reviews and have well-developed processes for assessing whether a negative review should be removed.

If you have negative reviews on platforms other than those listed above, we will review on a case-by-case basis whether we can assist in having the content removed.

Although we may agree that a particular negative review should be removed, we are ultimately reliant on the platform hosting the review agreeing with our position. Deletely are experts in removing negative reviews that are unfair, misleading, fake, or dishonest to ensure that your business is not damaged by malicious actors.
If you have negative reviews on platforms other than those listed above, we will review on a case-by-case basis whether we can assist in having the content removed.

In most cases contact with the publisher of the negative review is not necessary and does not constitute part of our standard operating procedure. Deletely will not contact the publisher of the content without your express consent and will only do so if we have exhausted other channels and believe that it may assist in the successful removal of the negative review.

The time it takes to remove a malicious review depends on the platform on which it was posted along with the content of the review. Generally, a successful removal of a review takes anyway between two and three weeks, however it could be much sooner. Deletely will continue to attempt removal of the negative review until all avenues are exhausted, which may include several appeals with the platform until it’s successfully removed or there is otherwise no prospect of the content being removed.

We will provide a no-obligation quote for a given piece of content. You only pay if we successfully move the content in question as we operate a no removal, no fee model. We will usually provide a quote within a business day of being notified of the review. Our proprietary software constantly scans your online profiles to identify whether a malicious review has been posted and whether our team believe they have a potential avenue for removal

In general, we do not recommend responding to the review whilst we are seeking its removal. This is because it can have the effect of legitimising the review and many platforms will consider that your response has mitigated the review which can be disadvantageous when we are seeking its complete removal.

As we don’t charge a fee unless the content is successfully removed, it is always worth the Deletely team assessing whether the review is likely to be removed and to see if we can assist.
