The situation

What the listing was carrying.

A donut shop with hundreds of reviews.

Three low reviews: a generic 2-star write-up with no order detail, a 1-star rating with no text, and one about the unfinished renovation.

    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: I stopped by this shop early in the morning hoping for a fresh, warm treat, but I was fairly disappointed with the overall experience. The display case looked like it hadn't been restocked in quite some time, with very limited variety available even though it was well after the store had opened. The glazed donut I eventually purchased was lukewarm and tasted somewhat stale, as if it had been sitting out since the day before. Furthermore, the employee behind the counter seemed completely uninterested in being there, barely acknowledging me and making no effort to offer a friendly greeting. For a place known for its donuts, this visit was a real letdown and not worth the stop.

    [SUCCESSFULLY REMOVED]: I don't respect this location at all. The wait sucks, they didn’t finish rebuilding the interior or the menu outside, they have one person serving someone at a time then the donuts tastes like it is undercooked. Might as well eat at a different donut place.

The chip on each card is the Google policy the review breaks, in our reading; Google does not say which reason it accepted. Dates are the month the review was written and the month the removal was confirmed.

How we counted

Our numbers, and where they come from.

Every figure on these pages is ours, pulled from the ReviewTactic database. Here is exactly what each one means.

  • What counts as removed

    A removal counts when we filed the case with Google and the review reached removed status. Reviews that disappeared without our filing are left out, and so are reviews that came back.

  • How the rating is calculated

    We calculate the rating from the reviews we pull from Google rather than reading the figure Google shows. "Before" is the listing today with our removals added back, "after" is the listing without them, so new reviews do not change the gap.

  • What a visible gain means

    The rating, rounded to one decimal the way Google displays it, changed. Most removals do not move that figure. Where it did not move, we show the count only.

  • How the reviews are shown

    Every review appears as the reviewer wrote it, spelling included. Business names, people's names, places and details that could identify anyone are hidden. The category on a card is the Google policy the review breaks, in our reading; Google does not say which reason it accepted.
