Remove Negative Yelp Reviews

Why negative Yelp reviews matter

Yelp is where many customers check restaurants, local services, medical practices, and home services before they decide. A false one-star review can drag down your rating and send customers straight to a competitor.

Can businesses remove Yelp reviews?

Not directly. Business owners can respond to reviews and report them to Yelp, but they can't delete them. Advertising on Yelp doesn't remove reviews either. Removal happens only when Yelp takes the review down, and a documented legal request is the strongest way to get there.

How we remove Yelp reviews

1. Free assessment. Send us your Yelp page and the reviews you want removed.
2. Legal grounds. We identify reviews that are defamatory, fake, from non-customers or competitors, or that break Yelp's content guidelines.
3. Legal removal request. We prepare and submit a documented legal request to Yelp.
4. You pay only after removal. Most removals take about one week.

Yelp reviews that can be removed

• False statements of fact (defamation).
• Reviews from people who never used your business.
• Reviews from competitors or people with a conflict of interest.
• Threats, harassment, hate speech, or lewd content.
• Reviews that include private information.

Honest opinions from real customers usually can't be removed. We'll tell you upfront in the free assessment.
