Resolve BBB complaints and address reviews that breach BBB standards
Report and remove Better Business Bureau content that breaks the platform's rules or the law, with evidence and follow-through.
In the US, Better Business Bureau profiles rank for many business names and show complaints, reviews and a rating. Complaints generally cannot be deleted, but they can be answered and resolved on the record, and reviews that breach BBB standards can be raised with the local BBB. We help you respond properly, resolve what can be resolved and challenge what breaches the rules.
Who this is for
- People targeted by harmful Better Business Bureau posts or accounts
- Businesses facing false or abusive content on Better Business Bureau
- Anyone impersonated or exposed by a fake account
Who it is not for
- Suppressing genuine complaints instead of resolving them

How the work runs
- Eligibility reviewWe test each URL against the relevant law and platform policy before anything is filed.
- Evidence packWe build the submission: identity, context, dates, policy clauses and supporting documents.
- Submission and follow-upRequests are filed, tracked and chased. Refusals are appealed where grounds exist.
- FallbackWhere removal is refused or unavailable, we move the case to search repair.
Evidence you will need
- Links to the posts, comments or accounts
- Screenshots with dates
- Your genuine account details
- Any messages linked to the content
What you receive
- Evidence captured with dates
- Reports filed through the correct platform routes
- Escalation where reports stall
- Repost and new-account watch
- Search clean-up once content is removed
What we cannot promise
- Better Business Bureau decides what breaches its rules. We cannot remove content that complies with them.
- Screenshots and copies can circulate after removal. We monitor and act on them where the same rules apply.
Frequently asked questions
Can a BBB complaint be removed?
Generally no. A well-handled, resolved complaint often reassures customers more than a blank profile.
Do we need to be BBB accredited?
No. Profiles exist whether or not a business is accredited, and you can respond either way.
Does this apply to UK businesses?
BBB operates in the US and Canada. It matters if you serve those markets.
Will the person who posted it know it was me?
Platform reports are generally not shared with the poster, but some routes, such as copyright notices, can be. We explain this before filing.
Can you remove it from Google as well?
Yes. Once content is removed from the platform, we request removal of the outdated result from search.
Is my enquiry confidential?
Yes. You can make first contact without giving your name, we sign a non-disclosure agreement before you share case details, and case files are held in restricted, encrypted storage with access limited to your case team.
