Defending Businesses from the Broken Review System
We didn't start Crux Experts because we saw a business opportunity. We started because we watched the review system fail business owners over and over again.
The Problem We Witnessed
Good people losing everything they built.
We didn't start Crux Experts because we saw a business opportunity. We started because we watched the review system fail business owners over and over again. We saw the devastation firsthand good people, honest businesses, losing their livelihoods because of fake reviews that platforms refused to address.
The moment we knew we had to act: A restaurant owner we knew personally had their business destroyed by a coordinated fake review campaign. Competitors posted dozens of false reviews. When they tried to fight back, they got the same automated response: "Doesn't violate community standards." No human ever looked at their evidence. Their business closed within six months.
That's when we realized: the system isn't just broken it's weaponized.
The Broken Ecosystem
The major review platforms have created a system where your business reputation depends entirely on algorithms that don't understand context, evidence, or truth.
When you report a fake review, here's what actually happens:
- Your report goes to an automated system
- A bot scans for specific keywords
- If those keywords aren't found, your report is denied
- No human ever sees your evidence, screenshots, or proof
- The fake review stays up, continuing to damage your business
The platforms could hire real humans to review disputes. They're not exactly struggling financially. But they won't, because they have complete legal immunity.
Section 230 protects them from any consequences of letting their platforms become weaponized against businesses.
It's not a bug it's a feature. The platforms profit from engagement, and fake reviews create more engagement than honest ones.
They market these review systems as "trusted community feedback." What a joke. It's an unmoderated nightmare wrapped in corporate branding.
What Drives Us
Protecting what you've built
Every business owner we work with has invested everything their time, money, dreams, and family's future into building something meaningful. When fake reviews threaten that investment, it's not just about reputation management. It's about protecting livelihoods, families, and communities.
We believe every business deserves:
- ✓Real human review of disputes, not algorithmic "justice"
- ✓Evidence-based decisions, not keyword scanning
- ✓Persistent advocacy, not automated rejections

The common thread: Every business we've helped had evidence on their side, but the platforms refused to look at it. We made them look.
Why This Matters
Your business is more than a review score
Behind every business is a person who took a risk, invested everything, and built something meaningful. When fake reviews threaten that, it's not just about online reputation it's about protecting the economic foundation of communities.
We're not just managing reviews.
We're defending the right of honest businesses to exist and thrive in an increasingly digital world.
The platforms won't fix this system.
They have no incentive to. But we do. Every business we protect is proof that the system can be beaten, that evidence matters, and that persistence pays off.
Join the Fight
Don't let fake reviews destroy what you built. If you're dealing with fake reviews, coordinated attacks, or platform indifference, you don't have to fight alone. We're here to be the human element that the review system lacks.
