What actually qualifies for removal

Angi's review guidelines ask for family-friendly, accurate, relevant reviews that respect privacy. Reviews like these break them:

Offensive, harmful or abusive language, including profanity, harassment and hate speech
Inaccurate statements
Comments about other service professionals, or unrelated to the requested work
Private information about the reviewer or other people

Separately, pros can ask support to remove a rating they believe was given incorrectly or unfairly. New pros can remove one rating out of their first 5, and other pros one rating for every 15 received.

How to dispute it yourself

This costs nothing but time, and it's the right first step even if you later bring in help.

1
Prepare your reason
Note which guideline the review breaks, or why the rating was given incorrectly or unfairly. Gather records such as a contract or invoice.
2
Contact Angi support
Use the chat icon on Angi's help page or email [email protected]. Angi investigates and lets you know if removal is possible.

Notice: A name showing up on a review site like this one often shows up elsewhere too. If you'd like to check, our free tool lets you see what else is out there.

If the rating stays

Angi can refuse to remove a review at its sole discretion, and a genuine rating that doesn't break the guidelines usually stays. During a dispute, the rating may be held in pending status until it's resolved.

Search suppression moves the rating down in search results. We tell you which situation you're in before any work begins.

What we don't do

We won't post fake reviews, or pay for them, to push a negative rating down, and we don't promise removal. Angi decides.

Common questions

How do I dispute an Angi rating?

Contact the Angi Services support team if you believe a rating was given incorrectly or unfairly. Angi investigates and lets you know if removal is possible. You can reach support through the chat icon on its help page or by email at [email protected].

How many ratings can I have removed?

New pros can remove one rating out of the first 5 they receive. All other pros can remove one rating for every 15 received.

What do Angi's review guidelines cover?

Reviews should be family-friendly, with no offensive, harmful or abusive language, and statements should be accurate. They should be relevant, with no comments about other service professionals or unrelated information, and they shouldn't publicize anyone's private information.

Can a rating be held during a dispute?

Yes. Angi says that if a dispute arises between a consumer and a professional, the submitted rating may be held in pending status until the dispute is resolved.

Does Angi have to remove a review?

No. Angi reserves the right to refuse to post or remove any review at its sole discretion. It says ratings and reviews reflect the opinions of consumers, not of Angi.

Do I pay if the review isn't removed?

Our removal services are no-removal, no-fee: you're invoiced only once we achieve the removal defined in your Service Agreement. Search suppression is billed for the work performed.

Also dealing with a Houzz or Zillow review? See our Houzz or Zillow removal guides, or the full Review Removal & Suppression service. If a rating stays up, search suppression moves it down, and Google De-indexing covers pages that shouldn't appear in Google at all.
