Why ReviShield

# Review help that will not put your profile at risk

The market is full of “we delete anything” offers. Some of them can hurt your business more than a bad review. With us, you know what is happening and why.

What is on offer The risk to you How we do it

Fake or purchased reviews

The risk to you Banned by the platforms and by law in the EU, UK and US.

How we do it We do not write reviews. We help you fairly collect more genuine ones from all your customers.

Mass and repeat flagging

The risk to you Platforms treat it as misuse. Trustpilot can restrict a business and add a warning to its profile.

How we do it One carefully prepared report per review.

Fake accounts, bots and automation

The risk to you It breaks platform rules and turns a report into deception.

How we do it Our specialist files the report in the platform’s own tool.

Forged legal documents

The risk to you It can be a criminal offence.

How we do it Legal steps come only from a lawyer acting for you.

Pressure on reviewers, or paying for deletion

The risk to you Regulators treat it as manipulation, and platforms ban it.

How we do it We do not contact reviewers. We help you resolve the complaint, with no condition that the review goes.

Deleting a whole profile as a “fix”

The risk to you You lose every good review and the listing with it.

How we do it We work on individual reviews and on how you respond to the rest.

A guarantee to delete anything

The risk to you The platform decides, and selling the suppression of genuine reviews can break consumer law.

How we do it We tell you up front what has a chance and what does not.

## And if a review breaks no rule, we tell you.

We file nothing without support in the rules. Instead you get a reply draft and steps to resolve the complaint.
