About RepuShield

Google’s report button asks for a category, not an argument. So we write the argument.

RepuShield does one thing. We file removal appeals on policy-violating Google reviews through Google’s official content-policy channel. Flagging a review costs nothing. You pay only after Google actually removes it, and nothing at all if Google declines. No retainer. No software. No subscription required.

01 · The trigger

Google’s “Report review” button asks an owner to pick a category. It has no room for the part that decides a case: which published clause the review breaks, and what shows it. The appeal after a decline takes one written explanation and one attachment. An owner who picks the wrong category, or writes a complaint instead of a clause, has used that chance on a case Google was never asked to weigh.

02 · The problem at scale

The consumer-facing “Report” button is a category click with nowhere to make an argument, and a decline comes back as a generic template with no reasoning in it.

03 · The institutional failure

Google publishes its content policy and its routes for reporting a review that breaks it. The report form takes a category and nothing more. The appeal after a decline takes one written argument and one attachment, and neither tells you which clause to name or what to put with it.

04 · The discovery

So we built the part the form leaves to you: reading each review against the published clauses, checking the reviewer’s public profile and the timing, and writing the argument around the clause that fits.

A filing that names the clause and attaches evidence gives Google something to check that a bare tap on the “Report” button does not. Google makes the final call. We don’t publish a success-rate percentage yet, see why on the methodology page.

05 · The promise

That’s what RepuShield does. We don’t sell software, and we don’t charge a retainer. You paste your Google Maps URL. We read every review against Google’s policy. You pick which ones we file, at $150 to $250 per review, with each price shown before filing. You pay only when Google actually takes a review down, and nothing if Google declines. There is no subscription and nothing that renews. Every removal is paid per review, only after Google removes it.

06 · The proof

From August to September 2026, 8 Google reviews came off 3 client listings after we filed on them, counting only the removals we have checked on the live listing. That is too small a sample to turn into a rate, so we do not publish one. Google has also said no to filings of ours on reviews that are still up, and a declined filing is never billed. No retainer. No setup fee. No locked contract. Nothing billed unless a review comes down.

I’m an engineer, not a marketer. I built the first version of this after seeing how little room Google’s report form gives an owner to make their case.

RepuShield reads every review on a listing against Google’s published policy and files the ones the owner picks, with the clause named and the evidence attached. We work on a client’s profile as an authorized manager, never as its owner.

I read every audit request that lands. If you have a review you can’t shake, email me directly.

What we believe

Reputation isn't soft. Star rating is a filter, not a score.

Maps shows your star average next to your name before anyone opens your listing, and searchers can filter by it. That's the mechanism that matters: a fake 1-star doesn't just lower a number, it removes you from shortlists you used to make. Multiply your own customer lifetime value by the customers who never call, and the 1-star stops being an opinion and starts being a line item.

Software is the wrong sell for a service problem.

An owner with a fake review wants it gone, not another tool to learn. We build the case, file it, and invoice you only if Google removes the review.

Billing only on removal isn't generosity. It puts the risk on us.

When the outcome depends on Google's decision, taking your money up front transfers all the risk to you. We carry the risk instead. Flagging a review costs nothing and takes no card. The fee is invoiced only after the review is gone from the live listing, so a rejected case never costs you a cent, and there's no refund to chase.

We use Google's own policy channels, and nothing else.

No DMCA tricks. No fake-reporting brigades. No buying reviews to push bad ones down. The boring path: Google's documented policy channels, with the clause named and the evidence attached.

By the numbers

We don’t publish a removal-rate percentage until we can publish the sample behind it. Definitions and the reporting commitment are on the methodology page.
