How to Dispute a Google Review and Check on the Dispute Status

If you flag a review as inappropriate, Google may take action against the reviewer, such as removing the review or banning them from leaving reviews in the future. In most cases, this is only done if the review violates Google's guidelines, such as posting spam or using offensive language. You can report fake or biased reviews to Google for further investigation if you believe they are fake or biased.

Reporting a Google Review from within the Conversation Tab


To report a Google review from within the CRM you would need to go to the Conversations tab and search for the contact you want to report the review for and click on Dispute this review:

You will be prompted to confirm your Google email and business account associated with the GMB review in question.

Next, you'll choose whether you'd like to report a review or check the status of a review you've already reported:


If you choose to report a new review to be removed, Google gives you a list of your recent reviews that you can click to view on Google Maps or submit a takedown request.
