Short answer
Local search is where a chiropractic clinic gets found, and Google names review count and review score as ranking inputs for local results. Reputation Medics files policy-violating reviews for businesses in 141 metro areas across 51 states, remotely, at $397 per Google review and $697 per Yelp review. Pay upfront. If the specific item is not removed within 30 days, the removal fee is automatically refunded.
Google publishes three factors for local results and names review count and review score among the prominence inputs. The quoted line under each heading is Google's wording. The second line is what it means for a chiropractic clinic sitting on a review that breaks policy.
How well a local Business Profile matches what someone searched for.
Category, services and profile detail carry this one. A review never makes a profile more relevant, but review text does get read by people comparing two profiles that match equally well.
How far each possible search result is from the location term used in a search.
Nothing about a review changes distance. This is why a shop can rank in the map pack and still lose the call to the business one rating point higher.
How well known a business is, which Google states includes review count and review score along with links, articles and directories.
This is the factor a policy-violating review touches. A fake one-star sits in the same score Google reads as prominence, and it sits there until the platform removes it.
Google publishes three factors for local results: relevance, distance and prominence. Review count and review score sit inside prominence, alongside links and mentions elsewhere on the web. Relevance and distance are set by the profile and the searcher's location. Prominence is the part a fake or policy-violating review drags on, and the only fix is getting that review off the listing.
No one can promise that, and we do not. Google decides its own results the same way it decides its own removals. What removal changes is what a searcher sees in the map pack and on the profile next to your name. Google, Yelp, and the sites we file with make the final removal decision. What we guarantee is the automatic refund of the removal fee if the item stays up past 30 days.
Yes. Filing is handled remotely, so location does not change the price or the process. The list below covers 141 metro areas across 51 states, including Phoenix, Los Angeles, Houston, Dallas, Chicago. A business outside those metros is filed exactly the same way.
One price everywhere: $397 per Google review, $697 per Yelp review, $497 per harmful link on another site. No retainer and no travel charge. Pay upfront. If the specific item is not removed within 30 days, the removal fee is automatically refunded.
On the self-pay visit job type, a $157 job at a 100% gross margin is $157 of gross profit. That is one job, multiplied out from the cited benchmarks at the bottom of this page. Searchers who pick the profile above yours never appear in any report you can read.
Gross profit is the job value multiplied by the gross margin in the same row. Nothing is projected and no lost-revenue total is claimed. Every job value, close rate and margin below is cited in the sources at the end of this page.
| Job type | Job value | Gross margin | Gross profit per job |
|---|---|---|---|
| Self-pay visit | $157 | 100% | $157 |
| Insurance-reimbursed visit | $122 | 100% | $122 |

Heard (2024). Average self-pay individual therapy session fee of $157 and average insurance reimbursement of $122 per session, from a survey of more than 2,000 self-employed therapists. Limitation: respondents are users of one bookkeeping platform, not a random national sample.
Health Affairs Scholar (Zhu et al.) (2024). Average cash-pay rate of $143.26 per session across directory data for 175,083 providers. Peer-reviewed. Limitation: based on advertised directory rates rather than collected payments.
Reputation Medics editorial note (2026). APTA, AAOS, AAP, AVMA, and SAMHSA publish no per-visit revenue, per-episode value, or cost-per-admission figure. AVMA publishes average practice revenue of about $1.5 million for 2024 but not an average client transaction, and the $125-per-visit physical therapy figure circulating online traces only to secondary aggregators with undisclosed methodology. Therapy session fees on this page are the one published per-visit benchmark found, and the other visit types are left out.
Missing margin data note for fee-for-service practices
Reputation Medics editorial note (2026). No association publishes a gross or operating margin for dental practices, med spas, clinics, senior living, law firms, advisory firms, brokerages, or hotels. The ADA publishes dentist net income, not a margin; AmSpa publishes revenue per med spa, not a margin; AICPA's margin figure sits behind its paid MAP survey. So the fee or room rate on this page is treated as revenue at 100%, not as profit. Read the revenue figures as lost billings, not lost take-home.
