“Fake Reviews Are Tanking Rankings. Here’s How to Fight Back”​

You’ve optimized your clients’ Google Business Profiles. You’ve built a steady stream of 5-star reviews. But then, overnight, they drop out of the Map Pack. Why?

Fake reviews.

Fake 5-star reviews are boosting your clients’ competitors. And shady 1-stars are sabotaging their hard-earned reputation. Google’s local algorithm is smart, but it’s not perfect, and reputation volatility is a red flag for local SEO.

That’s why GatherUp created the Integrity Plan, your full-spectrum fake review defense system.​

What’s included:

• Transparency Report: Flags GenAI content, review pods, and bad actors before Google does
• Automated disputes: Skip the 10-step takedown process. We handle detection to resolution
• Competitor monitoring: Expose review schemes boosting unfair rankings
• White-labeled insights: Show your clients how you're protecting their reputation, and their rankings
• Complete SEO protection: From proactive detection to AI-powered takedowns, our tools safeguard your visibility

Local SEO is under attack:​

• 99% of consumers read reviews before engaging with a business
• 73% won’t even consider businesses with less than 4 stars
• One fake review can tip the algorithm and cost your clients their rankings
  

Takeaways for SEO Agencies:​

If you're not defending your clients’ review profiles, you're leaving the door wide open for sabotage.​

Fake reviews are not just reputation risks, they're ranking killers.​

GatherUp’s Integrity Plan gives you the edge: automated protection, transparency, and compliance, built for agencies that refuse to play defense with duct tape.​
