So a review from someone who was never a customer can go?

Do I pay anything if it doesn't come down?
A short position from us on why a single review decides whether a customer calls you — and what we will and will not remove.
Trust is the currency
of modern business.
The reality
Before customers call, book, visit, or buy, they check your reputation. Your reviews become the shortcut for deciding whether your business feels credible — or risky.
A single false, defamatory, spammy, or policy-violating review can interrupt the buying decision before your team ever gets a chance to respond. It rarely announces itself. The customer simply doesn't call.
Reputation is not a marketing line item. It is the last checkpoint between interest and purchase.
One review can create
enough doubt to lose
the customer.
What actually happens
The path from interest to competitor is four steps long, and it runs entirely without you. By the time the call doesn't come, the decision was made somewhere in the second step.
Searches
The customer looks you up.
Scans
Reviews shape the first impression.
Doubts
A negative review creates risk.
Leaves
The competitor gets the call.
Every local business
lives or dies by
online trust.
Who this is for
Doctors, surgeons, lawyers, restaurants, contractors, med spas, agencies, home services and more. If prospects search before they buy, your reviews are part of the sale.
The businesses that feel this hardest are the ones where a single visit carries real cost or real risk — where the customer has every reason to check twice before committing.
Prime opportunity for trust repair.
Covered by the pay-after-delivery limit.
Typical target window for eligible cases.
We remove eligible
reviews. Not
legitimate feedback.
The line we hold
Social Onyx focuses on reviews that violate platform policies or applicable standards. Everything else stays exactly where it is.
That distinction is the whole business. A service that removes honest criticism is selling you a short-term illusion and a long-term liability. We are not that.
- False or misleading claims
- Spam or fake profiles
- Harassment or threats
- Conflict-of-interest posts
- Defamatory allegations
- Policy-violating content
- Real customer experiences
- Honest criticism of your service
- Fair ratings you'd rather not read
- Genuine complaints from real clients
- Anything a platform would rightly keep
- Feedback you should be answering
We do not attempt to suppress real customer experiences. We protect businesses from reviews that should not be there in the first place — and we tell you plainly when a review is not eligible.
Audit. Build.
Submit. Track.
The process
We follow a proven, systemized approach to identify ineligible reviews, build strong cases, and get results — so you can protect what you've built.
Every case is evaluated by hand before anything is filed. No automated mass-flagging, no volume plays. A weak case submitted quickly is worse than no case at all.
We identify the reviews and evaluate each one for eligibility against platform policy.
We document the specific policy violation with the supporting evidence behind it.
We file the request through the correct official channel for that platform.
We monitor progress until the removal is completed and confirmed to you.
Aligned
by design.
We’re paid on outcomes
For the first up to five eligible reviews, our incentive is tied to your outcome: the invoice arrives only when the removal is completed.
There is no retainer, no deposit, and no invoice for a case that didn't land. Our incentive is aligned with your outcome: we win when your reputation improves, and not a moment before.
Nothing is due until a removal lands, for your first five reviews.
Recent or older reviews can both be included in the batch.
Target turnaround for eligible Google cases.
If the removal doesn't complete, you are not billed for it.
Simple pricing,
based on review age.
Simple. Transparent. Fair.
Recent reviews move faster. Older reviews usually require a stronger case and deeper escalation, so pricing reflects the additional difficulty — nothing else.
Both tiers are billed on outcomes — one invoice per removal that lands.
- Posted within the last 30 days
- Billed per successful removal
- Priced on outcomes, not effort
- Under 7 day target window
- Posted more than 30 days ago
- Billed per successful removal
- Priced on outcomes, not effort
- Deeper case build and escalation
Our payoff is your reputation improvement. We win when your reputation improves — which is why the invoice only ever follows a result.
Three platforms.
One standard.
Coverage
Google decides whether you get found. Yelp decides whether you get trusted. Reddit decides what people say when they think you aren't listening. We work across all three.
