Reputation Management & Review Response

You don't have time to reply to every review. We do.

  • Professional Responses: Our team monitors your profile 24/7. We draft professional, keyword-optimised responses to every 5-star review to boost your SEO.
  • Crisis Management: When a negative review hits, we handle it diplomatically. We write strategic responses that de-escalate the situation and show prospective customers that you care.
  • Spam Fighting: We monitor your profile for fake reviews or spam attacks and petition Google to remove them.

"Map Pack" Ranking Strategy

Get found in the top 3 results.

Ranking in the "Local Pack" (the map at the top of search results) requires consistent activity.

  • Weekly Google Updates: We treat your profile like a social media feed, posting weekly updates, offers, and photos to signal to Google that your business is active.
  • Local Citations: We manage your business data across the web, ensuring your Name, Address, and Phone Number (NAP) are consistent on Yellow Pages, TrueLocal, and Apple Maps.
  • Service Area Optimisation: We refine your service areas to ensure you rank not just in your suburb, but in the surrounding growth corridors as well.

Action Plan: What to Do If You Are Being Blackmailed for Reviews

Review extortion is a serious policy violation and a crime. Do not panic. Follow these exact steps to protect your business.

Step 1.1: STOP. Do Not Pay.

Never pay the blackmailer. Paying proves you are an easy target and they will only demand more money later.

  • Do not reply to their messages.
  • Block their email and phone number immediately.
  • Take screenshots of everything related to the scammers

Step 1.2: File a Police Report

Blackmail is a crime. Having an official police report number significantly helps when dealing with Google.

  • Go to your local police station or cybercrime reporting portal (e.g., ReportCyber in Australia).
  • File a report for Extortion/Blackmail.
  • Save the Report Number: You will send this to Google as legal proof.

Step 2: Gather Your Evidence

Google will delete the reviews if you can prove they are fake. You need "Receipts."

  • Screenshot the threat: Capture the email, text, or message where they demanded money. Ensure the date and sender are visible.
  • Screenshot the reviews: Capture the 1-star reviews and the reviewer's profile.
  • Create a Timeline: Write down exactly when the demand came in and when the reviews appeared (e.g., "Demanded $500 at 2:00 PM; posted three 1-star reviews at 2:15 PM"). sometimes they post the bad review first then contact you, make sure to record the time and the link of the review and the time he sent you

Step 3: Report the Reviews to Google

Tell Google these are not real customers.

  1. Go to your Google Business Profile.
  2. Click the three dots next to the review > Report Review.
  3. Select "Spam" or "Conflict of Interest" as the reason.
  4. Pro Tip: Use the Google Review Management Tool to track the status of these reports.

Step 4: Escalate to Google Support

If the "Report" button doesn't work, you need to talk to a human.

Step 5: Reply Professionally (Don't Get Angry)

While you wait for Google to remove them, post a calm public reply so real customers know you are professional.

  • Say this: "We have checked our records and cannot find a customer transaction matching this profile. We take all feedback seriously, but this appears to be a spam account. We have reported this activity to Google."
