It removes reviews that break its Content Guidelines, and those guidelines are public. - Conflicts of interest: reviews from competitors, current or former employees, or anyone writing on someone else's behalf. - Relevance: reviews that don't describe a real consumer experience with the business. - Inappropriate content: threats, harassment, lewd content and hate speech. - Privacy: details or photos that expose someone's private information. ## Recommended and not recommended reviews Yelp's automated recommendation software decides which reviews show on your main page. Reviews it does not recommend still exist, but they sit in a separate section and don't count toward your star rating. Yelp's support team can't move a review in or out of that section on request. A report has to be about a guideline violation, not about where the software placed the review. ## How to remove Yelp reviews the right way 1. **Match the review to a guideline.** We read the review, the reviewer's public profile and your records, and find the guideline it breaks. 2. **Report it from your business account.** Yelp lets owners report a review from their Yelp for Business account. The report should name the guideline and stick to facts. 3. **Respond publicly if it stays.** If Yelp keeps the review, a short, factual reply is usually the next step. Timing depends on each platform's own review process; we tell you what to expect in your audit.

If an actual customer describes an actual visit, Yelp's guidelines protect that review, and we tell you so in the audit. We never create accounts, ask others to flag a review, or offer the reviewer anything to delete it. Any Yelp review removal service should be able to name the guideline a review breaks before it asks you for anything. ## How we handle every review - **You pay only if the review is removed.** If the review stays up, you owe nothing for that review. - **The platform makes the final call.** Google and every other platform decide what comes down under their own rules. We prepare the strongest request those rules allow, and no one can promise a removal. - **Legitimate routes only.** Policy reports, appeals, legal requests when a review may be unlawful, and a public response when a review has to stay. No fake accounts, no mass flagging and no fake reviews.

No. Yelp states that advertisers get no special treatment in how reviews are recommended or removed. ### Will Yelp remove a review just because it is unfair? Not on that basis alone. Yelp removes reviews that break its Content Guidelines; an honest opinion from a real customer usually stays, even when it is harsh. ### Do I pay anything if Yelp keeps the review? No. You pay only if the review is removed, and the audit that tells you whether there is a case is free. ## Learn more - [Remove Bad Reviews on Yelp, Amazon, Airbnb and More](https://removemyreviews.com/platforms/) - [How Review Removal Works](https://removemyreviews.com/how-it-works/) - [Tripadvisor Review Removal](https://removemyreviews.com/platforms/tripadvisor-review-removal/) - [Remove Fake Google Reviews](https://removemyreviews.com/services/remove-fake-google-reviews/) ## Send us the Yelp review Share the link and we tell you which guideline applies, if any, before anything is reported.
