Pay-per-success removal

Pay $179 per Google review removal — only when Google actually removes it.

Everyone else charges $300–$700 per month before they’ve removed a single review. RepuShield is the only platform that charges per success: $179 per removal, $0 if Google denies it.

How pay-per-success works

1. You send us the review

Submit the Google review URL. Free 24-hour triage tells you which tier it falls into (Tier-1 = clear violation, Tier-2 = subjective, Tier-3 = policy-clean). No card needed.

2. We classify + you decide

If it's Tier-3 (genuinely negative, no policy violation) we tell you upfront and don't file — saves your time and our reputation with Google's policy team.

3. We file + appeal

On Tier-1 and Tier-2, we build the evidence packet and file through Google's official policy channel. If denied, we appeal once with sharper framing.

4. You pay only when it works

Google removes the review (our daily re-scan confirms it) → you get a $179 invoice. Denied → $0. No retainer, no contract.

Why pay-per-success works

Aligns incentive. We only get paid when Google actually removes the review — so we don’t take Tier-3 cases that won’t win.
Honest triage. Most agencies will file anything to bill hours. We’ll tell you upfront if your review is unwinnable.
Predictable cost. Three fake reviews a year = $537. Birdeye = $3,588/yr minimum (and you still file the removals yourself).
No retainer trap. Subscriptions auto-renew until you remember to cancel. Pay-per-success has no auto-charge surface.

Common questions

What if you can't remove the review?

You don’t pay. The $179 fee triggers only when Google removes the review (verified by our daily re-scan). Read our full guarantee terms on /guarantee.

Do I need to subscribe to anything?

No. Pay-per-success works as a standalone — no monthly plan required. We do offer optional monitoring tiers ($79–$499/mo) that catch new fake reviews 24/7 and discount the per-removal rate.

How fast is the removal?

Typical Google review window is 7-21 days from filing — see methodology for the full window detail. Some Tier-1 escalations close in 48 hours; appeals can extend to 60+ days. We re-scan your profile daily after filing and you only get invoiced once Google has actually removed the review.

What's a Tier-1 vs Tier-3 review?

Tier-1 = clear policy violation (fake reviewer, ex-employee, off-topic, hate speech). Tier-3 = genuinely negative, policy-clean — Google won’t remove these and we won’t file. Full breakdown in our 2026 removal guide.

Is it legal?

Yes. We file disputes through Google’s public policy channel — the same channel any owner has access to. We don’t hack, bribe, or impersonate. We do the boring work most owners don’t have time for.

No-card audit. We’ll tell you if it’ll work.

Send us the review URL. Within 24 hours we’ll classify it (Tier 1/2/3), tell you the odds of removal, and quote you exactly. Pay only if we win.
