Frequently Asked Questions

Which business has the most suspicious Google reviews?
Brooklyn Diner USA currently holds the highest manipulation score — 83/100 (Likely Manipulated). Read the full report for the flagged reviews behind that score.
How does Revdict detect fake Google reviews?
Each report examines public review patterns — near-duplicate wording, sudden review bursts, reviewer account behavior and rating-distribution anomalies — and combines them into a 0–100 manipulation score with a Clean, Suspicious or Likely Manipulated verdict.
Are these verdicts proof that reviews are fake?
No. Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns — forensic indicators, not accusations. Revdict is not affiliated with Google.
