Unethical Reviews Are Distorting the Local Search Landscape

Your competitors may be boosting their rankings by flooding Google with fake 5-star reviews. Whether it’s bots, fake profiles, or paid review farms, the result is the same:

They rank higher. You lose traffic, trust, and revenue.

Manual monitoring is nearly impossible:

  • Review spam is subtle, persistent, and hard to prove.

  • Google’s reporting tools are slow, inconsistent, and resource-draining.

  • Your team doesn’t have time to play “review detective.”

Meanwhile, the bad actors keep climbing the map pack—while you're left playing catch-up.
