Since April 2026, Google shows on German profiles how many reviews were removed following defamation complaints – tucked away in the reviews tab. aidos puts them back into the rating.
Where Google reports removed reviews, aidos shows right next to it how much of the rating rests on them.
The full list contains only legal entities and larger chains, never individuals. Every entry leads to a profile with history, estimate and notes on how to read it.
Affected profiles and statistical index (removed reviews per location) by industry. Changes over time will appear once several monthly surveys exist — never estimated.
| Industry | Affected profiles | relative weight | Index |

Where are reviews most frequently removed after defamation complaints? The survey is continuously being extended to more cities.
aidos surveys city by city. Every known business with a removal notice is re-checked each month; the full pass through a city in search of new cases rotates between cities. This overview honestly shows which cities are already in the dataset — there simply are no figures from cities not yet surveyed.

How the survey works is documented in the methodology. City, industry and company pages are available in both languages.
