Read a rival's reviews the way Google's rules do.
Audit a competitor's Google reviews. Watch their public reviews on your plan, and when something looks off, order a Fake Review Audit: the AI reads every available review from the oldest to the newest, grades each finding on Google's own review policy, shows the ordinary explanations beside it, and hands you the documents and the right Google form for each one. You file; Google decides.
Ordered inside the app · Included with annual Business and Growth · Every plan watches a competitor
First you watch. The patterns show up in your own pulls.
A competitor is pulled on the same schedule as your own business, to your plan's depth, and its page is a dashboard for reading one competitor at a time: what changed, and whether it is worth a closer look. You read a competitor's reviews; you never answer them.
Five figures, two charts, one feed
- Google rating with its change since the last pull, and reviews listed with theirs
- Reviews in the last 30 days, with the low-rated count
- Reviews with reasons to look closer and reviews in bursts, each linking to that list
- Google rating over time: the listing's own displayed rating, bursts shaded
- Reviews per day against the profile's usual rate, bursts shaded
- Recent activity: rating falls, review-count jumps, removals, listing changes, new low ratings, with no reviewer names
- Star mix beside your own listing's
Every available review, read for the patterns Google's policies name.
Search any competitor and order an audit inside the app. Collection reads every review available on the profile, oldest to newest, then each review is checked for the marks our review-integrity method looks for. Each is graded on how clearly it matches one of Google's rules, never scored.
What each review is checked for
- No text, a rating with nothing behind it
- A thin or history-less account
- An anomalous posting day, tested against the profile's own trailing rate
- Near-duplicate text across different accounts
- A business-named account
- A recurring search-style phrase
- A staff name the profile's own reviews keep naming
- Reward language
The accounts behind the strongest findings get one more check: their public review histories, to see whether they keep reviewing the same group of places.
After the audit: the documents, and where each goes in Google
- The complete report: every finding with the reviews behind it, the Google policy it matches, the ordinary explanations, and how clear each line is
- Word documents you can edit: the report, Evidence for Google and an evidence sheet per filing, with Open in Google Docs, or the PDF exactly as made
- Evidence for Google: only the findings on strong grounds, written to ask Google to take a look, never to say a review is fake
- The filing guide: each finding's Google form, the reason to pick, the steps and the text to paste; mark each one when you have filed it
- Thirty days later: the report shows what changed on the listing since your first filing, from a newer pull
What a competitor audit does not do.
An audit is evidence for you to weigh and a person to file. These are the edges of it, as the product works today.
It never says a review is fake
Every finding is a pattern with its ordinary explanations beside it, graded on how clearly it matches one of Google's rules. There is no authenticity score, no ranking of businesses, and no verdict about who wrote anything. The Evidence for Google document asks Google to look; it does not accuse. If a business, a person or a review is called fake anywhere, that is our bug, not our product.
It reads what anyone can see
The audit works from the public review data on Google Maps. It cannot see reviews Google never published, reviewer accounts beyond their public history, or who owns the profile, which the app marks as not verified. The reviewer-history check covers a bounded number of accounts behind the strongest findings, not every reviewer.
You file, and Google decides
Nothing is reported, flagged or appealed for you. Google's forms take no attachments, so the documents are your record and the guide gives you the words. Google sometimes answers that there is not enough evidence: a pattern can have an ordinary explanation, and an unhappy review from a real customer breaks no rule. Sending the same report again rarely changes the answer. Google alone decides, on its own timeline, and the only sign it acted is a review disappearing, which a later pull records.
Your own profile comes first
A report invites a closer look at both businesses. The audit's report also looks at your own profile, and if it shows a current pattern the app says so before you send anyone's reviews to Google, with what to fix in the filing guide. You can still download the packet; the warning is there so you go in with your own profile in order.
Pace matters
The filing guide asks for a few items a fortnight, not a burst, and one report per review from one account. Reports from several accounts run by one person count as fake engagement in their own right.
Watching has a slot and a depth
The trial and Starter watch one competitor, Business three, Growth eight profiles in any mix, each to the plan's review depth: 300, 1,000 or 2,000 reviews a profile, 50 on the trial. The audit itself reads every available review regardless of plan. Removing a competitor is by email for now; a person takes it off your list and the slot frees up.
The follow-up needs a newer pull
The thirty-day view compares the audit's pull with a later one; it pulls nothing itself. Watch that business as a competitor and there is always a fresh pull to compare. Audit a business you do not watch, and the follow-up waits until it is pulled again.
Readable in the app, not exported in bulk
Every review the audit read is readable in the app. The documents are what you take away; there is no bulk export of a competitor's reviews.
Paid once collection starts
An audit is bought one at a time inside the app, at the price on the pricing table, or comes as credits with an annual Business (4 a year) or Growth (8 a year) plan. A completed audit is generally non-refundable. If it never starts because of a fault on our side, you choose a full refund or a free re-run. If it fails after starting, we retry it; if we still cannot deliver it, you can request a refund of the separate audit payment or a replacement audit credit. For an audit bought with an included plan credit, we restore that credit. The refund policy has the detail.
