Questions, answered

Straight answers

Why do car dealers get so many fake reviews?
Automotive is a high-stakes, high-emotion industry. Competitor attacks, revenge reviews from failed negotiations, and spam accounts all target car dealers at higher rates than most industries. Our data shows 86% of automotive businesses have policy-violating negative reviews.
Can reviews about pricing be removed?
If a review is purely about disagreement with pricing (no actual visit or purchase), it may qualify as off-topic or spam. Reviews from real customers about their actual experience with pricing stay, even if negative.
What about reviews from people who test-drove but didn't buy?
If they actually visited and had a genuine experience, the review is legitimate. But if someone who never visited leaves a review, or a competitor plants a fake complaint, that violates Google's policies.
How much does it cost?
$99 per review that is actually removed. The audit is free. If nothing comes down, you owe nothing.
How long does removal take?
Simple cases: a few days. Complex cases (like coordinated competitor attacks): a few weeks. You get updates as each case progresses.
