How Trustpilot removal works
Trustpilot lets a business flag a review that breaks its guidelines. You can flag from a business account, or by contacting Trustpilot. Its guidelines for businesses are clear on three points:
- Disliking a review is not a reason. Trustpilot says that not liking a star rating or disagreeing with a negative review is not a valid reason to flag it, and that it does not remove reviews just because a business thinks they are unfair or critical.
- The review stays visible while Trustpilot looks into it, except reviews flagged as harmful or illegal, which are hidden during the check. Complex cases can take longer.
- Misusing the flag tool has consequences. Trustpilot says flagging too quickly or for the wrong reasons is not tolerated. It can limit business account features, put a Consumer Warning on a profile, or hide the TrustScore.
That last point is why a careful, well-grounded flag matters more than a fast one.
What you can flag a review for
Per Trustpilot's guidelines:
- Not based on a genuine experience. Trustpilot runs the review through its detection software. If it looks suspicious, the review is removed and Trustpilot asks the reviewer for documentation. If a guideline breach cannot be confirmed, the review stays up.
- Personal information about another person, such as a name, phone number, email address or photos.
- Harmful or illegal content.
- Advertising, promotional material or scams.
- A review for another business, including one posted on the wrong profile.
What stays up
- A negative review from a real customer, even if you think it is wrong
- A review that does not mention your business by name
- A review that mentions or compares you to a competitor
Trustpilot also notes that a review may be genuine even if you do not recognize the reviewer. We say this plainly in your free audit.
A step many owners skip
If you do not recognize a reviewer, Trustpilot lets you ask them for more information, such as a name, reference number, email or phone number. They have three days to respond. If you get no answer and still believe there was no genuine experience, you can then flag the review as "Not based on a genuine experience". We build this step into every case.
What we do
- Audit. You send the review links. We sort them by the Trustpilot rule each might break.
- Evidence. We pull together what supports the flag: dates, order or customer records, mismatches with your customer list.
- You approve. You see the quote and decide which cases to file.
- Flag. One flag per review, each citing one specific guideline and the facts behind it. We apply the same standard to 5-star and 1-star reviews, as Trustpilot asks.
- Follow-up. If Trustpilot asks for more, we help you respond.
We never need your Trustpilot login. You file from your own account, or we prepare the wording for you to submit.
What we will not do
- Offer a reviewer anything in exchange for changing or removing a review. Trustpilot's guidelines ban incentives connected with writing or editing reviews, and the FTC says paying to remove a negative review could be an unfair practice.
- Pressure, threaten or contact reviewers
- Mass-flag reviews
- Post fake reviews to lift a rating. The FTC's Consumer Review Rule bans fake reviews.
Cost and timing
No upfront payment. After the free audit you get a quote based on the number of eligible reviews and how complex each case is. You pay only for reviews confirmed removed. Trustpilot sets its own pace, and we explain any delay.
Questions
Can you remove a negative Trustpilot review?
Only one that breaks Trustpilot's guidelines. We cannot remove an honest negative review.
What if the reviewer was never my customer?
That is a valid ground, but Trustpilot makes the call. Its detection software checks the review, and it may ask the reviewer for documentation.
Will you flag every review I do not like?
No. Wrong or excessive flags can put your account at risk, so we only file when there is a real basis.
What else can I do about a review that stays?
Reply politely and factually. Trustpilot also lets you invite customers to review you, as long as the invitation is fair, neutral and offers no incentive.
Is it guaranteed?
No. Trustpilot decides every case.
