Legal and platform strategy
The best route depends on words, facts and evidence
A negative review is not automatically unlawful. The review should be assessed against local rules, available proof, business impact and the platform category most likely to matter.
- Identify the exact statements causing reputational harm.
- Separate factual allegations from subjective opinion.
- Preserve screenshots, dates, links and reviewer profile details.
- Connect the issue to Google policy or other platform rules.
- Choose between reporting, response, notice, negotiation or consultation.
