Before you leave a negative Google review, it’s important to make sure that you’ve done everything you can to resolve the issue with the client. This may include:

• Sending them a polite but firm email reminding them of the outstanding payment
• Calling them to discuss the issue
• Sending them a certified letter

If you’ve tried all of these things and the client is still refusing to pay, then you may be justified in leaving a negative Google review.

There are a few things you should avoid putting in a negative Google review. These include:

• Personal insults or attacks
• Confidential information about the client
• Threats or blackmail
• Offensive language

Google’s Guidelines for Reviews

Google has a set of guidelines for who is able to leave reviews for a business. These guidelines state that reviews must be based on the reviewer’s own personal experience with the business. They must also be truthful and not misleading.

Google also reserves the right to remove reviews that violate their guidelines. You can view their full list of guidelines here.

The Bottom Line

Leaving a negative Google review can be a powerful tool for suppliers who have been done wrong by a B2B client. By doing so, you can warn other potential customers about the client’s behavior and help to protect your business from future losses.

However, it’s important to remember that you should only leave a negative review if you have exhausted all other options. And when you do write a review, be sure to be objective and factual.
