In 2019 and 2020, Google Maps removed 130 million fake reviews. We believe that this is just the tip of the iceberg and fake reviews are still rampant on Google Maps.
We believe that consumers will get the best outcome from businesses by working with businesses that earned their reviews, from real customers who were inspired to share their experience.
We currently support the analysis of business reviews on Google Maps worldwide, in every language.

Latest reviews
- (2022-12-25) Ryan Lucia: Needs better UX and still seems to be in beta. I've experienced a lot of bugs. Idea is genius and I hope it continues to improve.
- (2022-05-18) Syed Rashid Abdul Hameed: Excellent Tool
- (2022-04-21) Ryan Freeman: Great way to access a really useful and necessary tool. Highly recommended!
- (2022-04-01) Mervin Lance Calabia: One of the promising AI tools in the marketing space. This would work best for local digital marketing agencies looking for a solution to help clients outrank spammy competitors in Google Maps who are unfairly ranking due to deceptive reviews. At least at the time of this writing, be wary that the report could take some time (about 5 min or so for me during the one time I tried it). It's not instantaneous so be patient. It's still in its infancy so I'll be all ears on this product. And probably one of their early adopters for their premium services, too.
- (2022-03-25) Michelle Andrews: This saved me so much time. I was looking at a listing on the Google Map that appeared to have a lot of fake reviews. The extension created a full report with links showing information on review pods so I could evaluate it and see which reviewers to focus on. Great Local SEO tool for businesses and marketers when trying to combat fake reveiws and listings.
- (2022-02-16) Jennifer Joy: The reports provided are very insightful and quickly provide data that would take numerous hours to put together on your own. I especially liked the review pods section of the report, allowing me to easily identify groups of fake reviews at different businesses.
- (2021-11-09) Joshua Gill: Excellent way to begin to understand the problem of review spam one competitor at a time. See which of your competitors may be buying reviews and then protect yourself from their misbehavior. The Chrome plugin is a great tool in the Local SEO arsenal along with the transparency reports it helps generate. Love it!
- (2021-10-08) Alexandre Werkoff: At last there is a way to separate honest businesses from the one buying fake reviews. An absolute must-have for anyone managing local businesses
- (2021-09-28) Matt Peters: Very cool and helpful with trying to find a legit business to hire. Best extension/app I have seen of it's kind. Works wonderfully
