HELP / Advice - De-indexing & Bury Business Listing (Yelp, BBB)

[bbott]

I'm working with a local business that unfortunately got hit pretty bad by negative online reviews most of which are not even legitimate and we have gone through the process of trying to report to get these reviews removed but everyone knows how Yelp is and how the BBB will hold a business hostage for their name and reputation, extortion if you ask me.

We are being asked if we can come up with a solution 2 de index (remove from google) and or bury these business profiles in no man's land as far back in Google as possible or completely removed altogether.

Can you guys help me brainstorm some ideas on how we might be able to accomplish this???

Our initial thoughts were to first change the name address phone and related information within the Yelp profile and then hit it with GSA spam everything bad that you could think of, and then we started to wonder should we do that to the BBB listing also. The theory was it may cause them to look at disavowing the links and completely deleting the profile URLs from their website....??

Any of you guys have experience with this or want to weigh in on some possible ways we could do this please do let me know!!

Getting it removed from Yelp is possible, but it includes a monthly cost and it 95% successful in my experience. BBB isn't able to be removed, also my experience.

We typically suppress both Yelp and BBB because most people don't want to pay for Yelp removal indefinitely.
