Sitejabber is a broken platform. My profile has been stuck at 60% for weeks. I tried to upload information, add content, and complete my setup, but every time I click “Add”, the site crashes or shows an error. No support team responds. No live chat, no email, and no working feedback form. How can you expect people to trust or recommend a service that doesn’t even allow users to complete their profiles? This is a poor experience and a waste of time. I do not recommend Sitejabber until they fix their servers and start acting professionally.

My only complaint against Sitejabber: enable me to update my email address
Sitejabber has been very beneficial for me, but when I signed up with them, I used an email address that I am forced to discontinue because the provider enrolled me in costly programs that I do not need and cannot afford. I want to update the email address to avoid being buried alive in debts for services that I never requested, but their website does not provide an option for changing an email address. I am forced to file complaints on various websites in the hopes that some exception will be made for an indigent, disabled, 73-year-old male who has enough miseries in life without having providers bury me alive in debt!

Can’t Even Submit a Review – What’s the Point?
I spent all this time filling out every section of the review, got green check marks across the board, and still couldn’t submit it. No error message, no explanation — just nothing. Total waste of time.
Also, it’s ridiculous that they require a section about yourself when writing a review. People read reviews to learn about the company or service, not the person writing it. Forcing users to share irrelevant personal info just to leave feedback is a terrible user experience. Fix your platform.

Hey there, we apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. While it's possible that this may have been a bug and has since then been resolved, we're happy to investigate. Could you provide us with your Sitejabber username or send us an email at [email protected]? We'll look into this matter further for you.
Regarding the request for personal information: this is in place to help prevent fake or automated reviews, which unfortunately are becoming more common. That said, we understand your concerns and are actively working to improve the review process without compromising authenticity. We do apologize for this inconvenience and hope you understand.

JabN MONEY MONSTER VULTURES via FACEBOOK CONNECTION
Good day FACEBOOK CONNECTION. I AWAKE EACH MORNING WITH F I G H T AMERICAN CORPORATE, CAPITALIST MONSTERS on my mind!!!! It is, truly, very sad that our country no longer has "GENTLEMEN IN BUSINESS." Instead, CONSUMERS ARE NOW DEALING WITH UNETHICAL, GREEDY VULTURES$$$
I am working on a case against GOODLEAP LENDERS and their MONTGOMERY PARTNER IN CRIME [DIXIE's PLUMBING/ELECTRIC/
HEATINGHVAC business]. My situation resulted because DIXIE's REFUSED TO HONOR MY HOME WARRANTY COMPANY, which is one of the tops!!
With an emergent gas leak, DIXIE's told me I COULD PAY OUT OF POCKET, OR FINANCE A LOAN to have major home upgrades done$$
Total costs were a MAJOR $31'129USD. In comes GOODLEAP$$$ They made the loan easily accessible.
DIXIE's, RECOGNIZABLY, HAD THEIR INVOICE PADDED AND HIDDEN! NO LINE ITEM FOR LABOR COSTS--JUST FIGURES FOR JOBS DONE. I'm not stupid at 77 years old!! I research and read every day, as a scholar.
Here's what I am laying before you, my fellow CONSUMERS.....
BUSINESSES THROW CUSTOMERS TO GOODLEAP, WHO FINANCES LOTS OF HOMOWNER PROJECTS. WE HAVE THE BEST OF CREDIT SCORES AND ARE THE MOST CREDIT WORTHY ELEMENT OF ALL CONSUMERS--SO, WE ARE TARGETED.
Many of our group WILL DEAL WITH THE LEINS (they can only place them on WHAT THEY FINANCED, by law!!!).
THE BUSINESS PAY A COMMISSION TYPE FEE TO GOODLEAP. I BELIEVE THIS IS WHY DIXIE's FLAT OUT REFUSED TO USE MY BONA FIDE HOME WARRANTY, which would have been MORE ETHICALLY CORRECT.
Well, Here is the MONEY BREAKDOWN WITH GOODLEAP.....THEY GAVE ME A CONTRACT WITH THE TERMS BEING $31,,129USD borrowed WITH A PAYBACK BEING $71,129-
USD. This is certainly proclaimed, BY LAW TO BE U S U R Y$$$$, which means they are charging astronomically much more than the amount of money borrowed$$$
BEAR IN MIND --- MY CREDIT SCORE IS IN EXCESS OF 800!!...MY INTEREST IS AT 14%. I was told this is the best they offer to someone with a score like mine. This is MARLARKY BS!!!...GOD help if someone has a score which is less than mine!!!

Don't Waste Your Time With Sitejabber
It was pretty good for awhile until I started noticing after the site revamp they started deleting my reviews. Also, the once or twice that I tried to submit a positive 5 star review, it simply never got published. They just ignored it. You post critical, negative (and truthful, mind you) reviews, they eventually delete them. You post positive reviews, they ignore them. There's no winning with these people. I DO NOT recommend this site.
EDIT: In response to the SJ representative, you saw firsthand my review on your site was specific, thorough and NOT fake and as you can clearly see I am not a "bot". I have tried several times to change the parameters of your search options to find my review and it never showed up. So to blame it on some proverbial boogeyman (your "algorithm") as I've seen you use several times as a general blanket statement on other people's reviews in an attempt to save face is pretty lame. You deleted my review, just own up to it. Which is why I will never use your site again. Want to be a magician and make this one star a five star? Reinstate my review. Your choice...
EDIT 2: Apparently SJ felt the need to hide my review into a quote "less helpful" category including three others who all like myself, highlight the toxic behavior of said site. The only way you could find this category is if you already knew the title of review and knew what to look for. Evidently, SJ deems itself an authority on what's "helpful" and uses loose and subjective terminology ("inappropriate language", "bots", "scammers" "algorithm", etc) to justify it's rampant need to censor anyone who denotes biased and quite honestly, toxic behavior. Warning others of abusive behavior is apparently "less helpful" to SJ. Says a lot about them...

Hey there, we apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused. There is a possibility that your reviews have not been removed but have been filtered. Our review filter uses an algorithm to show only the most relevant content, which may exclude certain reviews, as we often deal with bot accounts that post fraudulent reviews.

Hey James. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We understand your frustration and would like to clarify how our platform operates.
Sitejabber does not censor reviews based on whether they are positive or negative. Our goal is to maintain a fair and trustworthy space for both consumers and businesses. Reviews that do not comply with our terms of service, such as those containing inappropriate language, personal attacks, or spam, may be removed following a thorough review process.
If you believe there is an error or a review is missing, please don't hesitate to contact our support team at [email protected]. We will investigate the matter promptly and take appropriate action.

Never posted my review even with proof of purchase
Signed up for this company, filled out my profile page, posted a review with photos of the items purchased and uploaded proof of purchase. Sitejabber did not publish my review. They had no problem publishing a bad review from someone, but apparently don't like positive reviews. Why? They can't blackmail a company to publish good reviews if they're not paid? I knew a small business owner who was being extorted by Yelp this way. I searched the FAQ to find the algorithm excuse. I completed everything requested as described so my review posted, but weeks later it never posted. Deleted my account today. Untrustworthy company in my opinion.
