Fake Review Analysis & Audit
Free analysis of a Google review against Google's published policies — instant eligibility score for removal.
Quick Eligibility Check
Paste a Google review and get an instant assessment.
A single fake 1-star review can drag down your Google rating, push you below competitors in the map pack, and cost you real revenue when prospects compare businesses and stop calling. It also chips away at trust with customers who assume the review reflects your actual service. Our Fake Review Analysis focuses on reviews that look like competitor sabotage, ex-employee retaliation, or made-up experiences from people who never booked or bought. We check the content against Google’s published policies most often tied to removals, including Conflict of Interest, Fake Engagement, Non-Customer, Spam, and Harassment. You’ll quickly know whether the review is likely eligible for a policy-based dispute—or whether a public reply is the better move.
Here’s how it works: you submit the review link and basic context, then we complete a policy analysis within hours and outline the most relevant eligible policy violations. If it looks disputable, we assemble an evidence pack (screenshots, timelines, and a clear policy match) and submit a report to Google Business Support. Google typically responds in 3–7 business days, and if the dispute is denied, we can escalate through the appeal pathway with tighter documentation. Final decisions always rest with Google, and our pricing is success-based billing—you only pay if Google removes the review.

Google Policies We Cite for Fake Review Analysis
Every successful dispute cites a specific Google review policy. These are the ones that most often apply.
Conflict of Interest
Reviews from people with a personal or financial stake in the business — competitors, former employees, owners, or anyone tied to a rival business.
Off-Topic
Reviews about third-party platforms (e.g. Uber Eats, DoorDash), pricing disputes unrelated to the service experience, or grievances that don't describe a real customer visit.
Fake Engagement
Coordinated review attacks, paid review farms, bot-generated content or any pattern of inauthentic engagement targeting the profile.
Harassment
Personal attacks, threats, slurs, doxxing or content targeting individuals rather than describing a real business experience.
Spam
Promotional content, external links, phone numbers, repetitive text patterns or content advertising other businesses.
Non-Customer
Reviews from people who were never actual customers — disputable when no transaction, booking or service record exists.

How to Identify Whether a Review Violates a Google Policy
Not every harsh review is a policy violation — and disputing one that isn't will burn your credibility with Google's reviewers. The first move is a structured policy assessment: who wrote it, what the content reveals, whether the reviewer had a real visit, and which of the six Google policies is most likely to apply. The full guide walks through the same eligibility framework we use internally before recommending any dispute.
