Review response guide

How to respond to a fake review for a Moving Company

Moving reviews hinge on care, timing, and honest pricing — damaged items and surprise fees are the flashpoints, so address them head-on.

First, decide whether it's genuinely fake — off-topic, from a competitor or someone who was never a customer, or spam. If so, flag it to Google (it can be removed for a policy violation) and, if needed, appeal with evidence. A truthful-but-harsh review isn't "fake" and won't be removed.

Removal takes time, so reply in the meantime — calmly and factually, for future readers. State that you have no record of the visit and have reported it, and invite a real customer to reach you. Never get emotional or accusatory in public.

Example

The review

They stole items out of our boxes. (no job on record)

A reply that works

That's a serious claim and we have no job on record matching it, so we've reported the review. If you did move with us and something's missing, please contact me directly right away.

Tip: Theft claims scare readers; state the missing record and report — don't argue.
