Ever had that sinking feeling when a 1-star review pops up, one you know is fake, but it’s from a so-called ‘Local Guide’ with a badge and all?
- They’re counting on that badge to make their review stick.
- Most people panic, reply, or try to explain themselves.
- But here’s the twist! That’s exactly what you shouldn’t do!
I’ve been there. A fake review landed on my page, complete with ‘Local Guide’ stars to make it look legit. I felt the urge to defend myself, to set the record straight. But instead, I did… nothing!
Well, almost nothing.
Here’s my exact method:
- Don’t reply. Don’t give them attention.
- Report the review. Just state what actually happened, no drama.
- Walk away. No emails, no notifications. Just check back in a few days.
Result? The review was gone in less than 12 hours.
WHAT IF IT DOESN’T WORK?
But what if you did reply? Or what if you’re still stuck with a bad review? Or maybe you just want more real, glowing feedback?
