Template: Google review removed appeal
This is a Google review removed appeal template. Copy it, fill the brackets, paste it from the Maps account you already own. It is the form after a takedown. It is not how to write a review so it stays up. It is not the consumer appeal process. Go Postl does not file it for you. Not legal advice.
Use it when: Google removed or filtered a review you posted about your own transaction and you need the letter, not the walkthrough.

Subject: Reinstatement request — Google review of Northline Appliance, removed 21 May 2026 My Google review of Northline Appliance was removed on 21 May 2026. I am the customer described in it. The transaction occurred on 2 May 2026 for $380 on invoice NA-1182, and I can provide the invoice and payment record on request. The review described only my own first-hand experience: I paid $380 for a dryer repair on 2 May; the dryer still leaked after the visit; I asked for a return visit on 6 May and had no reply as of 19 May. It contained no profanity, no third-party personal information, no promotional content, and no conflict of interest — I have no competing business and no relationship with Northline Appliance beyond this transaction.

What to swap in
- The summary sentence — mirror the wording of the removed review
- Attach or offer the receipt; that is what unlocks most reinstatements
What gets it rejected
- Arguing that the business flagged it out of spite
- Reposting the identical text before the appeal resolves
- Walking the reader through how to write the original review — send them to https://www.gopostl.com/guides/write-a-review-that-stays-up instead
