This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Hey Philip, we appreciate the opportunity to address this. To allow for full transparency, we don't prevent reviewers from leaving negative feedback. Sitejabber doesn’t spotlight negative reviews over positive ones either. Additionally, we also don’t leave reviews ourselves. Every business has the ability to monitor and dispute reviews using our review management platform (for free). If you need any assistance, please reach out to us at sayhello@sitejabber.com

Can't even log in to leave a review

Tried to leave a review on SiteJabber... I have a login there and have filed reviews in the past, but all the links on their page related to login functionality were dead.

Expected to write my review, and then log in in the process of filing it. Then I tried logging in before starting to write up my review. But in each case the site was effectively inaccessible to me. Had a proof of purchase photo and everything.

Seems like SiteJabber is not interested in community reviews any more. I won't waste my time with them in future.

Beware

They will not and do not appreciate 100% open honest real website/business reviews.They didn't even suspend or close my account they just made it so I cant click on anything on their website(I checked on three different browsers)except customer support.I contacted them and told them what is going on with their website and they responded with "oh we can't duplicate the problem" and then never responded or replyed to me again but yet the keep sending me automated emails about other things.Responding by asking me to contact them is simply unprofessional since I have already contacted them and they didn't respond,they didn't care to "look deeper" because if they wanted to find out if something were wrong with their website(which there is) they would have done it when I contacted them.I DID previously contact them with all the details several times.Their response to my review is just insulting and proves my point.Also another reviewer has reported the same thing is happening to them so this backs up what I am saying as truth.What is also true is I have never been contacted by site jabber after leaving a positive review and asked by them to change it to a negative review.All my reviews I have left are of my own accord/volition.

SiteJabber is a complete scam. They want money for our customers positive reviews to be published. …

Our customers have been leaving positive reviews on SiteJabber but SiteJabber refuses to publish positive reviews unless we pay for their service. This company is a complete scam and claim to be the good guys but truthfully they are what’s wrong with review business in general.

As others have said they post negative…

As others have said they post negative reviews and not positive reviews. This is clearly to "encourage" you to pay for the premium membership to address this. We have many customers that have told us they have initiated a positive review and have a confirmation email yet the review never posts. We have reached out to Sitejabber about this and get a canned response that is a cut and paste. Ironic that there is a scam site about being scammed.

Hey Charlie, we apologize for the frustration this must’ve caused. We’re glad to look into the missing reviews for you. Can you please reach out to us at sayhello@sitejabber.com?

Honest, authentic reviews on Sitejabber are at the heart of what we do – both the positive and negative ones. We don't prevent reviewers from leaving negative feedback, nor do we spotlight negative reviews over positive ones. We also don’t charge businesses to take down reviews, and reviews are only removed if they violate our Terms of Service – see https://www.sitejabber.com/faq#fake.

Site is Alive Finally!

With my below statement, Sitejabber promptly came up with the solution and I am so glad to change the decision. Thank you Sitejabber for your help.

[Old Statement] Its a site where no one responds back and they write your company negative reviews so you can create an account on their site.
No one replies back, review sites must validate the reviews before they post but this site is a real spammer.

Hi there. In the spirit of transparency, company profiles are automatically created whenever a customer or user reviews a site. Companies can then claim their own profile for free and begin managing reviews. We’re happy to look into your account and get any invalid reviews resolved. Can you please reach out to us at sayhello@sitejabber.com? We look forward to making things right.

Sitejabber colludes with scam websites.

I wrote a negative review on about a dating website. I'm not sure it got saved due to me being too quick fingered. I tried to sign back into site jabber and forgot my password. I requested an email three times to reset my password. I'm still waiting for their email. I'd say they are a scam and could be tied to shady scam sites to protect them. The reason I say that, is the company I wrote the truthful negative review on, contacted me wanting me to agree to not say anything negative about them. Only then would they take my profile off line. Looks like info sharing to me. Sitejabber will take money however it comes.

Hey Robert, sorry for any inconvenience this must’ve caused. There’s a possibility that you may have reached the wrong email. Can you please contact us at sayhello@sitejabber.com? We’re happy to look into this and reset your password for you.
Btw, we’re not directly affiliated with any of the companies listed on Sitejabber – we’re a reviews website where buyers like you can leave feedback on businesses and their products. We also do not share sensitive reviewer data or ban/remove profiles.

What a joke

They allow fake spam reviews to be published on your company profile. 1 star obviously FAKE reviews that they say they need 5-10 business days to take down. Looks like they have zero human moderation over there. Crypto spam reviews are being published on legitimate business profiles and they will not take it down in any expedient manner. Pitched me their paid services when I requested that obvious spam reviews be removed.

EDIT: Responding to their comment, no, not every review platform is dealing with this. Some review platforms employ human moderators to verify the identity of every reviewer before publishing. There is no reason a review company should not be moderating every review using a human moderator.

Logan, we understand that fake reviews are a huge concern. In fact, the more popular the review platform, the more it attracts fraudulent reviews – and sadly, every prominent review platform is dealing with this. Sitejabber uses sophisticated algorithms to detect patterns of fake reviews, and we rely on our community to flag suspicious content. We also have a dedicated, live moderation team that assesses reported reviews – this manual process means it can take 5-10 business days to process removal requests. If you're still seeing fraudulent reviews on your business profile, please reach out to us at helpdesk@sitejabber.com so we can help.

Review was not published...

I left a review about a Bosisto's product. It was a lenghty one about the ingredients on their nasal spray which was not published on Sitejabber. They deleted it with no explanation. This leads me to believe that they are not a true representation of uncontrolled customer reviews. - response to reply by Sitejabber - it's been months and still not there 🤔

SEEMINGLY SHADY CONNECTION BETWEEN LENSA and SITEJABBER

Numerous people on Sitejabber.com--allegedly a job search evaluation site--gave bad reviews on a supposed job search site called "LENSA". What immediately made me suspicious of both Sitejabbera and Lensa is that Lensa answered a lot of the complainants by writing that "Lensa reached out to the complainant on Sitejabber's Job Resolution site bit got no answer".

What?! Why would the rater of a job search website have a "job resolution site? They would have no information qualifications or manpower to do this.

Sounds as if Lensa owns Sitejabber or something else shady is going on. I'd run like hell from both!
