Three Ways In-Store Review Forcing
Is Destroying Local Business Ratings

Google has tightened enforcement. These are the exact risks your business faces today.

Shop Wi-Fi IP Clustering

When 10 customers post reviews connected to your store Wi-Fi, Google's system detects the same IP origin and silently removes every review — or worse, flags your profile.

Pressure Creates Backlash

A staff member watching while a customer types a review feels invasive. Many give 5 stars in the moment, then return home and edit to 1-star out of resentment.

Google Profile Suspension

Repeated violations under Google's updated Prohibited & Restricted Content policy result in warnings, review removal, or permanent suspension of your Google Maps listing.

Business profile suspended = no new customers

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Repzy compliant with Google's review policy?

Yes. Repzy sends every customer the same post-visit WhatsApp request regardless of their satisfaction; the public Google review link is not withheld based on rating. This avoids the in-store, Wi-Fi-gated, and sentiment-filtered review collection patterns that violate Google's Business Profile policies.

How is Repzy different from review gating?

Review gating routes only happy customers to the public Google review page and hides it from unhappy ones, which Google's policy prohibits. Repzy sends the same public Google review link to every customer after their visit, and separately offers a private channel for owners to hear about problems directly — an addition, not a replacement.

Why does Repzy send the review link after the customer leaves instead of in-store?

Reviews submitted over the same shop Wi-Fi or IP address are frequently detected and removed by Google as a cluster. Sending the request by WhatsApp after the customer has left means each review originates from the customer's own home or mobile network, avoiding that risk.

What does Repzy cost?

Pricing depends on your business type and number of locations. Message us on WhatsApp or request a free demo below and we'll give you a straight answer.

What happens to a 1-star visit?

The same public Google review link goes out as it would for any customer. If the matched review comes back 3 stars or lower, Repzy also privately follows up with that customer through its own system so the owner hears the details directly — the public review is never hidden or replaced.
