Facebook calls them "Recommendations"
People now review a Facebook Page by choosing Yes or No to recommend it, then writing a recommendation. When we say "Facebook review" we mean a Recommendation on your Page. See Meta's help article "Recommend a business on Facebook".
How removal works
Meta says it may remove Recommendations that do not follow its Community Standards. It reviews your report and decides. Meta's article is "Report a Recommendation or review about a business Page". The steps it gives:
- Click Reviews under Details below the Page cover photo.
- Click See all next to Recent reviews.
- Click Options in the top right corner of the post.
- Select Report post and follow the on-screen instructions.
Two limits to know:
- A Recommendation that only has a star rating cannot be reported. Meta says so directly.
- Meta does not verify that a reviewer bought or used your product or service. So "this person was never a customer" is not enough on its own.
Meta also says a reviewer should focus on the business, base it on personal experience, and not review a business whose Page they help manage.
What can qualify
A Recommendation that does not follow Meta's Community Standards. That means rule-breaking content, not a negative opinion. Where a Recommendation comes from someone who manages the Page, Meta's own recommendation guidance says they should not leave one.
What usually does not
- A real customer who had a bad experience and says so
- A review you disagree with but that follows the rules
- A star-only rating with no text
What we do
- Audit. You send the Page link. We check each Recommendation against Meta's rules.
- You approve. You see the quote and approve each case.
- Report. We prepare the wording and evidence for each report. You submit from your own Page, or we hand you the draft.
- Follow up. We track the outcome. You pay only for removals that are confirmed.
We never need your Facebook login or admin access.
What we will not do
- Contact or pressure reviewers
- Post fake Recommendations. The FTC's Consumer Review Rule bans fake reviews.
- Turn the feature off for you. Meta lets Page admins turn Recommendations on or off, but that is a Page-wide setting and not a way to remove one review.
Cost and timing
No upfront payment. After the free audit you get a quote based on the number of eligible reviews. You pay only for removals that are confirmed. Meta sets its own timeline, and we explain any delay.
Questions
Can you remove a negative Facebook review?
Only if it breaks Facebook's Community Standards.
What if the person was never a customer?
Facebook does not check whether reviewers bought anything, so this alone may not be enough. We look for other grounds as well.
Can star-only ratings be removed?
Meta says Recommendations that only include a star rating cannot be reported.
What can I do about a review that stays?
Reply with a calm, factual comment. Future customers read it.
Is it guaranteed?
No. Meta decides.
