FAQ

Q: How does ReviewMeta determine whether these reviews are fake?

A: First, sellers will notice that ReviewMeta tries not to use the word "Fake" on our site. This is because there is no practical way to tell with 100% certainty whether a review is actually fake. ReviewMeta's analysis checks for several patterns that may indicate whether a review is naturally occurring and not faked by someone.

Q: How does ReviewMeta calculate adjusted ratings?

A: ReviewMeta's adjusted rating is the average rating a product receives after removing reviews it deems unnatural.

Q: If a product fails, does that mean there are definitely fake reviews?

A: Products fail because the adjusted rating is much lower than the original rating, or because of a large number of devalued reviews, or both. However, ReviewMeta recommends that sellers do not rely solely on its adjusted ratings.

Q: Where does RevewMeta get its data?

A: RevewMeta data is obtained from public web pages containing reviews.
