See the ghosts
in your reviews.
Evidence and filing support for suspicious Google review patterns, without treating warning signs as proof.
Fresh scans are paused.

The FTC's Consumer Reviews and Testimonials Rule prohibits businesses from creating, buying, selling, or disseminating fake or false reviews in covered circumstances. It does not turn every suspicious rating into a legal verdict.
Canada's Competition Bureau warns that reviews which falsely appear independent — including commercial 'astroturfing' — can raise deceptive-marketing concerns under the Competition Act.
Reviews that aren't based on a genuine experience, go off-topic, or come from competitors and conflicts of interest violate Google's Maps content policy worldwide and are eligible for removal.
Three steps from URL to evidence report.

We scan for signals
When fresh-scan capacity is available, we pull recent public reviews and check six documented patterns. The result is preliminary, never proof of coordination.

Six review-pattern signals, every one explained.
Timing clusters
Bursts of negative reviews in a suspiciously short window — a pattern that can be consistent with coordination, but is not proof on its own.
Reviewer red flags
Accounts with little visible review history, weighed only as one supporting signal rather than proof.
Language patterns
Near-identical or templated phrasing across reviews supposedly written by different people.
Limited visit detail
Reviews with few specific details about a product, service, staff interaction, or visit. Vagueness alone is never a verdict.
Rating anomalies
Sudden 1-star clusters that break sharply from a healthy long-term baseline.
Vague complaints
Generic negativity with no falsifiable specifics, weighed only alongside timing, account history, and other evidence.
Client intake is not open yet.

Google Business Profile itself is free to create and manage. Ghost Reviews is an independent third party, not Google, and charges only for optional work you authorize. Before appointing any provider, read Google's Working with a third party guidance ↗.

What we will never do.
We never file against honest reviews — even brutal ones.
We refuse work aimed at suppressing genuine criticism. Our criteria are applied consistently, regardless of whether a review is positive or negative.
We never guarantee a removal.
We file requests through Google's official process. Google alone decides — anyone promising guaranteed removals is not telling the truth.
We have no special access to Google.
There is no back channel. Our edge is evidence quality and follow-through, nothing else.
We never ask for your password.
Access happens through Google's own Manager system. You can remove us in a few clicks any time, and Google's rules for services like ours require that you can disassociate within 7 business days — their condition on us, not our fine print.
Our filing fee depends on a confirmed result.
The done-for-you success fee is CAD $199 per approved filed review confirmed no longer publicly visible after filing. The success-fee subtotal is capped at CAD $995 per campaign; applicable tax, if legally required, is separate and shown before any charge. The free scan and evidence report remain free. Any separately scoped service would be agreed in writing before work begins.
Ghost Reviews is a service for owners who have been targeted by review activity that may implicate Google's policies. It is not a tool for hiding honest negative criticism. We apply the same criteria regardless of sentiment and refuse engagements whose goal is to silence legitimate feedback.
All output is framed as likelihood and reasons, never a definitive verdict. Removal requests go through Google's official channels — filed by you, or by us as a Manager you've authorized in writing. We never delete reviews, automate mass-flagging, or attempt to game Google's systems.
The review analysis uses only public review content; we do not inspect private customer records or messages. Client and account data is handled under our Privacy Policy.
