Answers to the
questions that matter.

When do I pay? Do I have to pay upfront?
No upfront payment. You place a paid order, but no money changes hands until your profile is gone. Once removal is confirmed, you get a Stripe invoice by email with all the usual payment methods (card, SEPA, EPS, Klarna, Apple Pay, Google Pay) and a 2-day payment window. That puts the risk on us, not on you.
What if, against all expectations, the removal doesn't work?
Then you pay nothing. Period. If your profile can't be removed for legal reasons, no invoice is issued at all. So far that hasn't happened in a single case — every profile we checked could be removed. But the assurance stands.
Do you really remove the entire Google Business Profile — not just the reviews?
Yes. We remove the entire Google Business Profile, including all reviews, photos, opening hours and the Maps listing. Your business disappears completely from Google Search and Google Maps. That's the key difference from providers that only delete individual negative reviews.
How fast is it really?
Usually your profile is gone within 2 to 6 hours. In rare cases it can take longer if Google has follow-up questions — seldom more than 24 hours. That said, we don't make a binding promise about the timing in any individual case.
Are you reachable on weekends or public holidays?
Yes. We are reachable 7 days a week, including Sundays and public holidays. If a profile needs to come down right then, the work keeps moving regardless.
Is the removal legal?
Fully legal. As the owner, you have the right to erasure of your personal data under Art. 17 GDPR. We use only Google’s official procedures and rely on applicable EU data protection law. At the end you receive documentation.
What does the removal cost?
We quote the price case by case via WhatsApp or phone, because cases differ (one location vs. several, number of reviews, special situations). Send us a quick WhatsApp message or call — you usually get an answer right away. Flat price, no hourly billing, no hidden fees. And payment only after successful removal anyway.
How do invoicing and VAT work?
Invoicing runs through our payment partner Stripe and is only issued after successful removal. The 19% German VAT is added automatically on the Stripe invoice. For business customers with a valid VAT ID from another EU country, the reverse-charge procedure applies (0% VAT, B2B EU).
Do you have experience with this?
Almost 10 years. We grew out of an established reputation-management practice (also known as g-delete.com) and have built a very broad client base in that time: from the owner of a medical practice to the vegetable stand on the corner. What matters is not the industry, but the problem.
Does Google find out that a service provider was hired?
We act on your behalf and with your authorization. From a data protection standpoint that is entirely unproblematic and completely standard for lawyers and advisory service providers. For you, the whole process stays anonymous toward Google.
Can I restore the profile later?
A 1:1 restore once the removal is complete is not possible. If you need a Google Business Profile again later, you create a new one. It starts with 0 reviews — which many of our customers deliberately see as an advantage. We'll guide you through it if you like.
Do I get written proof?
Yes. After successful removal you receive an official confirmation letter from us, including the date, time and documentation of the procedure. You can present this proof to business partners or authorities as well.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Through our payment partner Stripe we accept credit card, SEPA direct debit, EPS (instant transfer), Klarna, Apple Pay and Google Pay. On request we also offer a classic bank transfer against invoice.
Why don't you remove individual reviews?
Because outside Germany it barely works in Europe, and even there only to a limited extent. We say so honestly instead of raising expectations we can't meet. Our specialty is complete profile removal.
What sets ZeroStar apart from other providers?
ZeroStar specializes in the complete technical removal of a profile via Google's GDPR procedure. Other providers and lawyers often work at the review level (reporting, legal action against individual reviews) — that's legitimate and exactly right in some cases, but it plays to different strengths. We remove the whole profile including the Maps listing, fast and success-based (payment only after removal). Which route fits you depends on your situation.
Is your comparison table a statement against lawyers or against the DIY route?
No. The table simply lays out the differences between the three routes factually. Lawyers do important work when it comes to individual, legally contestable reviews or content that is criminally relevant — for that, they are the right people to turn to. The DIY route via your Google account is legitimate and sensible when all you want is to remove the profile from your own management. ZeroStar fills a different gap: the complete technical removal of a profile via the GDPR procedure. We compare methods, not people or professions.

On your own, the legal route, or an agency? The 3 routes compared.

Doing it yourself via your Google account only removes the owner — the profile stays visible. The traditional legal route usually starts with individual reviews. ZeroStar removes the entire profile technically via the GDPR procedure — as a specialized agency with its own focus. Every route has its place.
