Bulk review checker: which of your reviews may break a rule?

Paste up to 200 of your own Trustpilot or Google reviews. The checker marks each one as worth flagging, needing a human look or likely to stay, and shows the rule and the words that matched. It runs in your browser: nothing you paste is sent or stored.

100% risk-free. You only pay for the reviews that come down.

How do I check which reviews could be removed?

Paste your reviews into the bulk review checker, one per line or as CSV, and pick Trustpilot or Google. It checks each one for signals such as promo codes, phone numbers or "never used them", names the rule each may break, and shows the words that matched. The platform decides every report.

Platform

One review per line, or CSV with a header row: text,stars,date (stars and date optional). Up to 200. Have more than 50? Use the self-audit, which takes a Trustpilot export of up to 5,000.

How this works

It is a heuristic. Each review is read for 33 signals, patterns of words that the platforms’ rules name. A promo code points at advertising. An email address or phone number points at personal information. “Never used them” points at a review with no genuine experience behind it.

A strong signal is text that shows the problem on its own, and makes a review “Worth flagging”. A weak one needs context, such as a doctor’s name or a claim of fraud, and makes it “Needs a human look”. No signal means “Likely stays”. Nothing is scored as certain.

The limits are real. The checker reads words, not facts, so it cannot see who wrote a review, when, or from which account. It misses rule breaks that look ordinary and flags some that are not. Trustpilot decides every flag and Google decides every report. Both publish their rules: Trustpilot’s flagging reasons and Google’s content policies.

The rules it names come from the same module as our one-review qualifier and the rule pages, so the wording always matches. For one review worth reporting, the evidence file builder turns it into a one-page record. All our free tools are on the tools page.

A free bulk review checker for businesses. Paste up to 200 of your own Trustpilot or Google reviews. It marks each one as worth flagging, needing a human look, or likely to stay, with the rule, the words that matched and a link to the rule page. It runs in your browser, and nothing you paste leaves it.

Questions about the checker

Yes. It runs in your browser, needs no account and has no limit beyond 200 reviews at a time. Run it as often as you like.

No. The check happens in your browser. The "Send this list for a free audit" button opens our form with the three counts filled in, not the review text. You choose whether to paste reviews into the form.

It is a first pass, not a verdict. It finds text that often breaks a rule, such as an email address or a promo code. It cannot know facts outside the text, like whether the writer was ever a customer. Trustpilot and Google decide every case.

Because harsh is allowed. Trustpilot will not remove a review just because it criticizes the business or includes swear words. Google allows negative experiences described in a respectful manner. The checker only points at text a rule names.

The text points at a rule, but whether it breaks it depends on context. A doctor named in full, a claim of fraud, or a story about a cousin's order are examples. Read the rule page linked in the row before you report it.

Only where the text gives it away, such as "never used them" or "they paid me to write this". Most fake reviews look ordinary, and the proof is in account patterns that only the platform can see. Our guide to fake Trustpilot reviews covers the rest.
