Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Arjun, a solo founder building tools for local businesses in Goa, India. Why I built this: While onboarding restaurants and cafes onto my main product (ReviewCow), I kept hearing the same frustration: "Someone left us a fake 1-star review and Google won't remove it." These weren't paranoid business owners. The reviews were obviously fake: Single-review accounts created just to attack them. Generic text like "Worst place ever" with zero specifics. Sometimes 3-4 negative reviews appearing within days (competitor attacks) The problem? Business owners didn't know how to prove a review was fake, or what to say when reporting to Google. What this tool does: - Walk through a simple checklist about the suspicious review - Analyze red flags (reviewer profile, content, timing patterns) - Calculate a "Fake Review Risk Score" (1-10) - Generate a professional report you can save or use when appealing to Google It's 100% free. No signup. No email required. No catch. I built it as an SEO play for ReviewCow, but honestly, I just want local business owners to have this resource. Fake reviews genuinely hurt small businesses. Fun fact: The FTC made fake reviews illegal in October 2024 with penalties up to $51,744 per violation. So if you can prove a competitor is behind fake reviews, you might have legal options too. Would love your feedback. Is the risk scoring useful? What other factors should I add? – Arjun
