Coordinated review-bombing attacks tank local businesses every day. ghost.reviews scans your Google Business Profile, surfaces the fraud signals, and drafts the policy-violation request you submit to Google.
Maximum FTC penalty per fake review under the Consumer Review Rule, in effect since 2024.
Posting or soliciting fake reviews is now a federal violation in the United States.
Every signal we surface comes with a plain-English reason. No black boxes.
Your Google Business Profile URL is all we need to start. No account, no signup.
We pull your recent public reviews and run them through a six-signal forensic analysis for evidence of coordinated, policy-violating activity.
An authenticity report with an overall risk score, every flagged review explained in plain English, and a drafted policy-violation request you can copy and submit to Google.
Bursts of negative reviews in a suspiciously short window — a hallmark of coordinated attacks.
Single-review accounts with no history of legitimate activity across Google.
Near-identical or templated phrasing across reviews supposedly written by different people.
Reviews that describe nothing specific — no products, no staff names, no genuine details.
Sudden 1-star clusters that break sharply from a healthy long-term baseline.
Generic negativity with no falsifiable specifics. Real upset customers describe what actually happened.
ghost.reviews is a tool for owners who have been targeted by policy-violating review activity. It is not a tool for hiding honest negative criticism — suppressing legitimate reviews is itself an FTC violation and is firmly out of scope.
All output is framed as likelihood and reasons, never a definitive verdict. You submit removal requests through Google's official channels — we do not delete reviews, automate mass-flagging, or attempt to game Google's systems.
We analyze only public review content. No private data is touched.
