We help employers address negative, fake, or defamatory reviews that appear on Glassdoor.com.
In some situations, individual Glassdoor reviews may be eligible for removal based on platform guidelines or content violations. In other cases, improving the overall employer profile through additional legitimate reviews may be the more effective path forward.
Outcomes depend on the nature of the review and Glassdoor’s policies, but when review removal is possible, we work on a performance-based basis, meaning you only pay when a review is successfully resolved.

Glassdoor Overview
Glassdoor.com is an employment and recruiting platform designed to connect employers with job seekers.
Employers can create business profiles to post open positions and share company information, while current and former employees can leave reviews about their workplace experiences.
Because reviews are submitted anonymously and published publicly, some businesses encounter feedback that is inaccurate, misleading, or not representative of their organization.
For many companies, a strong overall rating is achievable even with a small number of negative reviews. In other cases, addressing reviews that violate Glassdoor’s policies can help restore balance and protect employer credibility.
We help businesses evaluate whether specific Glassdoor reviews may qualify for removal and whether alternative reputation strategies are more appropriate.
Options for Addressing Negative Glassdoor Reviews
Glassdoor provides guidance for employees who wish to edit or remove reviews they have submitted within a limited timeframe. For employers, the options are more limited.
Glassdoor outlines several ways employers can respond to negative reviews. Each approach has advantages and limitations.
Here is an overview of those options and how they typically perform in practice.
- Flag the review for policy review
Glassdoor may remove a review if it violates its content guidelines. Common violation categories include:- Defamatory or fraudulent statements
- Harassing, abusive, or discriminatory language
- Promotion of illegal activity
- Violations of intellectual property or privacy
- Sexually explicit content
Reviews that clearly violate these guidelines may be eligible for removal after review.
- Respond publicly to the review
While responding can provide context, it does not remove the review and may increase visibility. This option should be approached carefully. - Encourage additional employee reviews
Publishing new, legitimate reviews can help balance overall ratings and provide a more accurate picture of workplace culture. - Pursue legal options
In rare cases involving serious legal issues, businesses may consult legal counsel. This route is typically reserved for extreme situations.
When review removal is possible, our services are structured so that payment is only required upon successful resolution.
The short video below explains how Glassdoor review removal works, when reviews may be eligible, and what to expect from the process.
The video covers eligibility considerations, common outcomes, and how employers typically proceed when a review cannot be removed.
Flagging a Glassdoor Review for Review
To flag a Glassdoor review, locate the review and select the flag icon associated with it.
After selecting the flag, Glassdoor will prompt you to choose a reason for reporting the review.
Different reporting categories allow varying levels of explanation. Reviews with clear guideline violations tend to have the strongest chance of further review.
How to Know If a Glassdoor Review Was Removed
When a review is flagged, Glassdoor typically sends an email confirmation regarding the outcome of the review process.
If the review is found to contain sensitive or non-compliant content, you may receive an email indicating that additional action has been taken.
If Glassdoor determines that a review complies with its guidelines, you may receive a notice stating that the review will remain visible.

Will Glassdoor Remove a Company Page?
No. According to Glassdoor’s own documentation, company pages are not removed upon request.
Glassdoor explains this policy here.
Closing or canceling an employer account does not remove an existing company profile. Pages may remain visible even if a business closes or changes names.
Because of this, individual review resolution and long-term reputation management are often the most practical options.

- We help businesses strengthen their Glassdoor presence through legitimate reviews
Can You Trust Glassdoor Reviews?
Glassdoor has implemented various policies intended to encourage participation and transparency.
Access to certain content may require users to contribute a review or salary submission.
This approach can influence the volume and type of reviews submitted, which is why employers often focus on overall trends rather than individual comments.
Glassdoor Review Removal Summary
Glassdoor reviews can have a meaningful impact on employer reputation, recruiting, and brand perception.
When reviews violate platform guidelines, removal may be possible. When removal is not an option, improving the overall profile through legitimate reviews and reputation management strategies can reduce the impact of negative content.
