For the businesses being attacked

See the ghosts
in your reviews.

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.

Free analysis. No login. Public review data only.

$53,000

Maximum FTC penalty per fake review under the Consumer Review Rule, in effect since 2024.

Federal

Posting or soliciting fake reviews is now a federal violation in the United States.

Transparent

Every signal we surface comes with a plain-English reason. No black boxes.

How it works

Three steps from URL to evidence report.

01

Paste your URL

Your Google Business Profile URL is all we need to start. No account, no signup.

02

We scan and analyze

We pull your recent public reviews and run them through a six-signal forensic analysis for evidence of coordinated, policy-violating activity.

03

Get your report

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.

What we look for

Six fraud signals, every one explained.

Timing clusters

Bursts of negative reviews in a suspiciously short window — a hallmark of coordinated attacks.

Reviewer red flags

Single-review accounts with no history of legitimate activity across Google.

Language patterns

Near-identical or templated phrasing across reviews supposedly written by different people.

No evidence of a visit

Reviews that describe nothing specific — no products, no staff names, no genuine details.

Rating anomalies

Sudden 1-star clusters that break sharply from a healthy long-term baseline.

Vague complaints

Generic negativity with no falsifiable specifics. Real upset customers describe what actually happened.

Built right

Probabilistic signals, never accusations.

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.
