Core to our mission of creating meaningful relationships between B2B service providers and their customers, our strict evaluation process ensures the authenticity of every review on our platform.
In light of the news that Amazon and Google are being investigated in the UK for failing to remove fake product reviews, we want to reaffirm our commitment to ensuring that the reviews of our B2B service partners that appear on our website are legitimate, original reviews by their customers.
UpCity has been well aware of the digital trust dilemma online service providers face with their consumers. Fake reviews not only harm a customer’s confidence in purchasing a product, but they violate the integrity of your business/consumer relationship. At UpCity, we make it our mission to vet reviews through a rigorous data-driven model that measures real credibility to provide the utmost transparency for businesses seeking services on our site.
“At UpCity our quality team screens new reviews on a daily basis, comparing each one against an extensive checklist of criteria to determine legitimacy.” —Morgan Dowling, UpCity Manager of Research and Analytics
Not only does this benefit the customers, but it is crucial for our provider partners as well. Our strict “no fake reviews” evaluation process helps our partners uphold their reputation as credible and trustworthy brand.

Because customer reviews can help drive consumer behavior and increase conversions by up to 270%, it’s absolutely essential that they are reliable, trustworthy, and credible. Signs of fake reviews on your profile may include the following traits:
- Poorly constructed and/or overly opinionated
- A random flood of reviews over a short period of time
- Review is posted by a false profile
- Poor grammar, vague statements, or speaking about a different product

We regulate our reviews to preserve authenticity with honest and unbiased opinions. That is what upholds our service providers’ reputation and helps our buyers make more informed purchase decisions.
When your business is looking to tap into the potential of digital word-of-mouth, it’s likely that you’ll have to deal with increased competition fueled by review fraud. But don’t worry; we’ve got you covered.
