Frequently Asked Questions
Can you remove reviews from Glassdoor?
We can permanently remove reviews from Glassdoor through our application process. Once Glassdoor has deemed an application we have made successful and subsequently removed a review, it is removed completely and it is highly unlikely it will re-appear.
Our applications aim to demonstrate that a review is in violation of Glassdoor’s Review Guidelines or the Australian Law and therefore once successful, it’s very unlikely that Google will re allow this violating review to exist on their platform.
How do you remove reviews from Glassdoor?
We remove Glassdoor reviews by making an application to the team at Glassdoor. In this application, our team of skilled legal professionals highlight the issue/s with the review, relying on the relevant Glassdoor Policies, Australian Law or a combination of both to demonstrate this.
Following this first application, our team will proceed to engage with Glassdoor. This will either be in the form of providing more information as per their request or re-submitting an application, as it is common practice that a removal request is initially rejected. It is the expert knowledge of our team which allows for the successful managing of a review application.
If successful, Glassdoor will remove the review willingly from their platform. There is no “bribing”, or “incentivising” involved. It is an entirely legitimate process.
Can you remove a business from Glassdoor?
Unfortunately, Glassdoor does not remove a business from its platform at the request of an employer. While you can delete your Employer Account, this does not mean that Glassdoor will remove your business listing. Deleting your Employer Account will also prevent you from proactively responding to negative reviews that are made on your business listing.
However, you can apply to Glassdoor to have unfair or fake reviews deleted from the platform.
Does Glassdoor contact the author?
Glassdoor may contact the author of a review when their review is in moderation. Glassdoor will remove the content without notifying the user if the review is in clear breach of their guidelines. However, Glassdoor does reach out to the author if their review contains strong allegations, language or opinions that could damage a company or individual, but is not in breach of their guidelines.The author will be asked to verify that they stand behind their review as a truthful account of their experience by re-submitting the review. The author will have to re-submit the review before the deadline Glassdoor provides. The author can also use the opportunity to edit or delete the review.
Glassdoor also informs the author that they are legally responsible for what they write under the terms of use. The author is not explicitly informed that their review is disputed by the employer.
What does it cost to remove a Glassdoor review?
The cost for removing a review from Glassdoor varies based on the content in question. We will need to see the review/series of reviews before we can provide you with a price estimate. The cost will be dictated by the anticipated timeline and the scope of work required. There is no commitment or risk in contacting us for a confidential discussion. After examining the content, our consultants can usually provide a quote on the same day at no cost to you.
Remember, you only pay for what we successfully remove. We will however ask for a small deposit before we begin which is fully refundable if we are unsuccessful. We aim to be an affordable alternative to engaging in legal services, which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. As such, our prices are typically less expensive than a lawyer, who is unlikely to agree to a “no-win no-fee” arrangement...
How long does it take to remove a Glassdoor review?
The time it takes Glassdoor to remove a review can vary. We typically expect a response from Glassdoor within 10-15 days. However, overall Removify allows up to 60 days for Glassdoor to delete a review. This is because the process may involve multiple submissions and appeals before a review is removed.
Can you stop negative Glassdoor reviews?
Unfortunately, there is no way to stop reviews from being posted on your Glassdoor business listing. Glassdoor provides an open forum where any employee can anonymously review a listed business. This means that users can leave negative reviews without Glassdoor verifying their identity, employment status or the truthfulness of their reviews. Glassdoor seeks to minimise fraudulent content by limiting the amount of reviews a user can make to one review, per year, per company worked at. However, this does not stop illegitimate content from being posted.
You can use a Free Employer Account to proactively respond to negative reviews. You can also seek to remove fake or unfair reviews through Glassdoor’s moderation process. This is where we are here to help.
It is legal to remove reviews from Glassdoor?
We legally remove unwanted Glassdoor reviews by making a submission to the platform. Glassdoor will undertake a moderation process of the review and the decision to remove the content is at the discretion of Glassdoor. Removify’s team of specialists have extensive experience in drafting submissions and appeals to Glassdoor to have illegitimate content legally removed from the platform.
