Thumbtack Review Removal

Thumbtack review removal

Report Thumbtack reviews that break the Content and Review Policy — fraudulent, misleading, or deceptive content, including AI-generated fake portfolios.

Thumbtack's content policy

Thumbtack publishes its content policy at https://help.thumbtack.com/article/content-and-review-policy. Reviews that fall inside a policy category can be reported and, with the right evidence, removed. Reviews that comply with the policy stay up — no service can force Thumbtack to remove policy-compliant content.

  • AI-generated fake portfolios or fabricated project photos

  • Content that violates Thumbtack's other policies
  • Reviews tied to an open dispute, which may be hidden pending resolution
Generally does NOT qualify
  • Content you find disagreeable that still meets Thumbtack's policies
  • Honest complaints about pricing or scheduling

Eligibility depends on platform policies, evidence, authenticity, conflicts of interest, prohibited content, and other applicable violations. This list is illustrative — every review is analyzed individually.
