The situation

What the listing was carrying.

A motel with just over 100 reviews and a low rating to begin with.

3.1 to 3.2

Google rating as displayed, before and after the removals

Results differ by listing, and Google decides every case.

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.
