The Transparency Report: Your New Weapon Against Fake Reviews

Why This Matters

In a world where 90%+ of customers read reviews before buying, fake reviews aren’t just noise—they’re a serious threat. From AI-generated praise to coordinated “review pods,” fraudulent feedback distorts perception and undermines trust.

That’s why we built the Transparency Report—a first-of-its-kind solution that detects, disputes, and defends against fake reviews, all within GatherUp.

What It Does

Built in partnership with The Transparency Company, the Transparency Report helps agencies:

  • Detect suspicious patterns using advanced AI
  • Identify review pods and fake contributors
  • Measure the real impact with impression metrics
  • Dispute and track removal of fraudulent reviews
  • Certify businesses with high review authenticity

Premium users can even monitor competitors and auto-dispute suspicious reviews for clients.

How It Works

The Transparency Report uses a multi-layered approach:

  • Detection: Analyzes behavioral patterns, AI-written content, and reviewer credibility
  • Scoring: Assigns a legitimacy score to each review
  • Reporting: Visual dashboards show suspicious activity, its impact, and certification status
  • Action: Auto-disputes fake reviews with Google and follows up persistently

Why Agencies Love It

  • Stand Out: Offer what competitors can’t—a proactive defense against review fraud
  • Boost Revenue: Upsell with premium tiers for competitor tracking and auto-disputes
  • Build Trust: Help clients earn the TrueReview Certification and show real review integrity
  • Prove ROI: Quantify marketing impact by cleaning up fake reviews and improving conversions

Use Cases in Action

  • Local businesses: Spot and remove coordinated 5-star review spikes from competitors
  • Multi-location brands: Detect location-targeted review attacks and respond with evidence
  • Online service providers: Fight fake reviews with massive reach that skew brand perception
