Glassdoor review removal and the other sites people ask us about

People write to us about four sites we do not sell work on: Glassdoor, Ripoff Report, Yelp and Facebook. Remove One Star works on Trustpilot and Google reviews only, and we do not offer a removal service for any of the four sites on this page. What follows is information, not a pitch. It points you at each site's own rules, because those rules decide the outcome.

How does Glassdoor review removal work?

We do not work on Glassdoor, so we have not tested its process. Glassdoor publishes its own community guidelines and its own appeal route on its own site. That is where the answer lives. Read the rule first, then use the form Glassdoor gives you.

The general principle on this site still holds. A review comes down when it breaks the platform's published rule, and the platform decides. A real opinion from a real person usually stays up, wherever it was posted.

We have not written a Glassdoor guide, and that is on purpose. A guide would mean summarising rules we have not read line by line and cannot verify. A wrong summary of a removal rule is worse than no page at all, because someone acts on it.

How does Ripoff Report removal work?

The same answer, with the same limit. We do not work on Ripoff Report. It publishes its own terms and its own routes on its own site, and we have not checked them, so we do not describe them here.

What we can say is the part that carries across. The site decides. No outside firm has a private channel. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something. Our guide on how to spot a review removal scam lists the ten signs, and they apply on any site.

How do I remove a Yelp review?

You report it, and Yelp decides. Yelp says plainly that "reporting it doesn't guarantee it will be removed". It names three grounds for a report: an apparent conflict of interest, a review that is not about the writer's own consumer experience, and inappropriate material.

Yelp is also the one site that tells businesses not to ask for reviews at all. Our guide covers the grounds, the path through the business account and the content guidelines. It also covers the court order Yelp wants for a defamation claim: how to remove Yelp reviews.

How do I remove a Facebook review?

There is no delete button for one review. A Page owner can report a Recommendation, or turn Recommendations off and lose every review and the rating with them.

The detail that catches people out is this one: "Recommendations that only include a star rating can't be reported". A bare 1-star with no words is not reportable at all. Our guide walks through the report path, the trade-off in the off switch, and the long list of things Meta does not publish: how to remove a Facebook review.

What is true on every review platform?

The rules differ in the detail, and our review policy matrix puts Trustpilot, Google, Yelp and Facebook side by side on eight questions, with a source in every cell. Five points hold everywhere.

Can I threaten or pay someone to take a review down?

No, and this is the part that reaches past any single site. The FTC's Rule on the Use of Consumer Reviews and Testimonials covers review suppression. It reaches groundless legal threats, physical threats, intimidation and knowingly false accusations used to stop or remove a review. That applies whatever site the review sits on.

Paying for a deletion is its own problem. In its case against the telehealth brand NextMed, the FTC described gift cards offered for review changes and refunds made to depend on removal. Both of those routes are open on any site, and both of them are the wrong route on every site. Our FTC and legal hub sets out the five rule sets in full.

Why have we not written a Glassdoor or Ripoff Report page?

Because we have no verified source for either one. Every claim on this site links to the document it came from, and each source carries the date we last read it. For Yelp and Facebook we read the help pages, quoted them, and wrote the two guides above. For Glassdoor and Ripoff Report we have not done that work.

We would rather have a short honest page than a long invented one. If we do the reading later, the pages will appear with the quotes and the dates attached, the same as everything else here.

What do you actually work on?

Trustpilot and Google. On both we read your reviews against the platform's published rules. We report only the ones that break a named rule. We work at a slow pace from your own account, and send proof for every removal. That is our Trustpilot review removal service, and the Google side follows the same method.

Remove One Star charges $475 to $600 per confirmed removal, with nothing paid up front. The pricing page has the full terms. Health brands are most of our work, and our telehealth page shows the complaint types we see most often. If your problem is on Glassdoor or Ripoff Report, go to that site's own help pages. We would be guessing, and you deserve better than a guess.
