How long does it take for Google to remove an unlawful review?

There is no standard timeframe, but experience from legal practice reveals a clear pattern: with legal representation and a well-founded demand letter, Google processes removal requests on average within one to ten days. Without legal support, relying only on the simple reporting function, the process can take significantly longer or receive no response at all, because your explanation is often insufficient for Google. If the platform fails to respond despite a valid claim, the final step is legal enforcement through a preliminary injunction, which requires additional time but results in an enforceable decision and the possibility of substantial fines.
