You need to use a bit of logic here and reverse-engineer some things, but anyone half-serious about getting their Trustpilot removed from Google can figure it out.
You can remove any URL from Google using this method; it doesn't have to be a Trustpilot profile.
I got this from Twitter.
The author of this post claims this is a form of Negative SEO - I disagree with this; it's a question of perspective. Selling mass links can also be a form of negative SEO if utilized in the wrong way, and I post this solely for the people trapped in the Trustpilot extortion scheme.
Trustpilot forces businesses to pay them more than $10,000 per year, and they do very little to tackle the negative fake reviews unless you pay them. It is in their best interest when negative reviews pour in - if there is no controversy, companies won't be paying them premium fees, so I hope this helps some folks here with this issue.
While this method won't remove your business from Trustpilot, it certainly removes it from Google, so your customers won't be able to find it when they search: "Your Company" + Reviews
There are already services in our marketplace here that offer deindexing services for $2,500 - $15,000 so this would help you save quite a bit of money.
No spoon-feed guide:

The DMCA abuse inside Google to (negative SEO) remove pages from search is starting to get absolutely ridiculous!
In this example, Google deindexed a page because an Indian law firm (that uses different trading names and submits 20-30 takedowns PER DAY) said a UK Trustpilot profile was infringing ITSELF (the abusers had just registered another profile with .info instead of the main .com)
And it got filed in Denmark... Google of course allowed and processed this removal, no verification, not even a logic check on jurisdiction or content.
Google won’t fix it because they’d have to publicly acknowledge the weakness in their DMCA system, which would create a flood of new abuse - The EXACT SAME happened already on YouTube, which they still haven't really cleaned up either.
Fake legal entities + automated DMCA scripts = instant deindex on legit businesses, platforms, and review profiles.Now this is a CONFIRMED form of negative SEO, it's open season on takedowns...Google’s “transparency” is a joke.And there are DOZENS of these fake law firms, each filing DOZENS of fake takedowns per day! With no oversight at all.I'll be releasing my FULL research into this later this week.
