Remove Fake and Defamatory Indeed Company Reviews

How Indeed Company Reviews Work

Indeed company reviews are employer reviews written by current and former employees. They sit on your Indeed Company Page next to your job listings, so a candidate who finds your vacancy on Indeed sees your star rating and the most recent reviews before they tap Apply. That is what makes a false Indeed review more expensive than most other negative content: it reaches people at the exact moment they decide whether to work for you.

Indeed's review guidelines ask for a genuine employment experience, written by the person who had it. The guidelines rule out personal attacks that name or identify individuals, confidential information, spam, paid or incentivized reviews, and content that is off topic or about another company. Indeed moderates reviews before and after publication, and it decides what comes down. Neither we nor anyone else can delete a review directly.

What the Employer Can Do on Indeed

Every employer has a route inside Indeed:

• Claim your Company Page through an Indeed employer account so you can respond to reviews publicly and manage the page.
• Report a review from the page. Each review has a report option; you pick the reason and add context.
• Wait for Indeed's moderation team. They check the review against the guidelines and either remove it or leave it up. You are not always told why.

The honest part: most reports filed against genuine reviews are declined. Indeed treats a negative but genuine review as protected opinion, and "we disagree with this" is not a guideline breach. Reports succeed when they point at a specific rule and carry evidence. That is the difference between an employer reporting a review in frustration and a prepared report, and it is where our work sits.

The Legal Route for Defamatory Indeed Reviews

A review that makes a false statement of fact about your company or a named person is defamation, not feedback. The platform is generally not the party liable for what a user writes; the reviewer is. Where a report is declined and the damage is real, the route runs through the reviewer: a letter from our legal partners, identification of an anonymous reviewer where the law allows it, and in the strongest cases a court finding that the statement is false, which can then be presented to Indeed. We coordinate this with our legal partners where a case needs it. It is slower and costlier than the report route, so we recommend it only when the assessment shows a clear false statement and a measurable harm.

The Employer Brand Side

Removal clears the reviews that should never have been there. It does not make your page attractive. Three things do:

• Respond to the genuine reviews, including the critical ones, with a short, specific, non-defensive reply. Candidates read the replies as closely as the reviews.
• Encourage current employees to leave a review in their own words. Never pay for reviews, never script them, never ask only the happy ones; Indeed and candidates both spot it.
• Keep the page current: an accurate description, active job listings, photos and benefits. A stale page with three old reviews is easier to damage than a living one.

Candidates rarely check only one site. The same employee who reviews you on Indeed often posts the same text on Glassdoor, so we check both and handle them together. See how we approach Glassdoor review removal and read a Glassdoor cleanup case study for the shape of a typical employer review engagement. Both pages are part of our wider negative review removal service. Where a layoff or a public dispute has started a wave of reviews across several platforms at once, our crisis management team runs the response as one piece of work.
