It is free to join, we send you up to 100 leads a week, and you need no website, no experience and no money.
By Adam Palicz, Co-founder of ReviewTactic. Updated .
Almost every business you walk past has this problem.
Owners know their star rating by heart. Many of them have reviews that break Google's rules: fake, spam, competitors, people who were never customers.
Google removes those reviews if you ask the right way. Most owners don't know how. That's where you come in.
-
According to BrightLocal Local Consumer Review Survey (2025), 87% of people read online reviews before choosing a local business.
-
According to Harvard Business School (Michael Luca, Working Paper 12-016) (2011), 5–9% more revenue for a restaurant from one extra star on Yelp.
-
According to Google Maps Content Trust & Safety Report (2026), 292 million rule-breaking reviews were blocked or removed by Google in 2025.
-
According to ReviewTactic Google Review Policy Violation Study (2026), 81.8% of businesses had at least one negative review that breaks Google's rules (15,954 businesses checked).

-
A real person to ask
Stuck on a lead? Ask the founders directly. No ticket queue.
No sign-up fee. No monthly fee. No starter kit. No minimum. If you refer nobody, you owe nobody. Money only flows toward you.
Who does well at this
-
Freelancers
Web designers, photographers, bookkeepers, social media managers. Your clients already trust you. Now you have one more thing to offer them.
-
Restaurant people
Servers, managers, chefs. You know how much one unfair review hurts. You probably know a dozen owners already.
-
Commission salespeople
Already selling to local businesses? Add this. The owner pays only for results, so it's a short conversation.
How the money works: 40% for life, commission only
You get 40% of every payment a business you brought in makes to us. That includes the $99 fee for every removed review and any monthly plan they pick. Paid monthly. For as long as they stay. No end date.
Commission only. No salary. No minimum. If a business never has a review removed, it never pays us, and there is nothing to share.
We don't show income examples. What you earn depends on how many owners you talk to and how many of their reviews break the rules. Anyone who promises you a monthly number is guessing.
Is it legit? Read this part.
Your name goes next to ours. So here is exactly what we do, and what we won't.
-
Removal is never guaranteed.
Google decides, not us. We only report reviews that break Google's published rules, through Google's own process. Some get turned down.
-
Real reviews stay.
An honest bad review from a real customer breaks no rule. We won't touch it. We tell owners that up front.
-
No fake reviews. Ever.
We don't write, buy or sell reviews. We don't pressure reviewers. That breaks Google's rules and, in the US, the FTC's rule on fake reviews.
-
Owners pay only for results.
$99 only when a review actually comes down. That's the whole model. It's why you can recommend it without risking your name.
What we ask of you
- Tell owners the truth: removal is never guaranteed, and only rule-breaking reviews qualify.
- Never promise a result, a date or a number.
- Reach out the normal way: in person, by phone, or by email that follows anti-spam law. No bulk spam.
- Never offer, write or arrange reviews.
Break these and you're out of the program. That protects the owners, and every other partner.
Short version: removal is never guaranteed, the rules are Google's, and nobody pays for nothing.
