Local business owner hit by fake or malicious reviews
Platforms remove fake reviews only with documented evidence, and owners don't know what evidence works - so defamatory reviews from non-customers sit on the profile bleeding bookings while removal requests get denied.
- Trigger
- The FTC's 2024 fake-review rule and platform policy tightening created explicit standards for what constitutes a removable review.
- Budget
- Per-dispute pricing plus a monitoring subscription for multi-location businesses.
