You have the ability to flag first-party reviews that are unrelated to the entity or contain inappropriate content or spam. Once a review is flagged, it will be immediately unpublished and submitted for review. A task will be created for an admin of your account to review the request, and once the request is complete, the review will either be reinstated to its pre-flagged status (Live or Quarantined) or be removed. Removed reviews will not be published in Review Widgets or returned in Streams API Endpoints. This article covers how to flag first-party reviews, and provides additional guidelines for flagging reviews.
To flag a first-party review:
- Click Reviews in the navigation bar and click Monitoring.
- Locate the review you want to flag. For guidelines on which reviews to flag, see below.
- Click on the drop-down button next to View or Respond, and select Flag for Removal.
- If you don’t see the Flag for Removal option, you may have selected a third-party review from a publisher instead of a first-party review generated through Yext, or you may not have permission to flag reviews.
- If you see the Flag for Removal button but it’s grayed out, this means the review has already been flagged or removed.
- Select the reason you are flagging the review, and click Flag Review.
- Note: All flagged reviews will be marked as Flagged in the Review Details pop-up window.
