I know the usual advice is to just ask real customers for reviews, and I get that. But for a new business, having almost no reviews can make people hesitate before calling, booking, or buying anything.

I’m not looking for a huge fake-looking spike or a bunch of copy-paste 5 star reviews. I’m more curious if there are any services that help with realistic-looking Google reviews, slow delivery, and reviews that don’t disappear after a few days.

Has anyone here bought Google reviews before? Did it help with trust or local visibility, or did it end up causing more problems than it was worth?
