What ReviewTactic adds
ReviewTactic does these things. Each line below comes from a ReviewTactic page.
- Review removal priced on the result. A removed review costs $99, on any plan, and nothing if the review stays up[9]. Growth includes 2 removals a month and Managed 4[9]. We only file reviews that demonstrably break a Google policy[17]: a real customer's honest review stays[17]. We gather the proof and file the report with Google[17]. If the report is rejected, we file the appeal; each rejected review can be appealed once[17]. No tool can promise removal, because only Google decides[13].
- Policy-violation flagging with appeal drafting. ReviewTactic drafts an appeal mapped to the specific Google policy a review violates[13].
- Reviewer and audience views. Reviewers are profiled by Google Local Guide level[18], and a "Where your guests also go" view ranks shared-audience venues[16].
- A weekly rank grid. Your Google Maps position is checked from 9 points on a 3x3 grid in a 2km radius around your business, refreshed every week and kept as history[19]. Every weekly grid also shows where competitors rank at the same points[19].
These are facts about ReviewTactic from its own pages. We make no claim here about whether Yext offers them.
