Executive Summary

Local businesses — roughly 10 million targets worldwide in the modeled TAM — are increasingly vulnerable to unfair Google reviews that materially affect discovery and revenue; a single targeted negative can translate to hundreds to thousands of dollars in lost bookings for many SMBs. Fighting these fakes today is manual, slow, and expertise-driven: owners or agencies must constantly monitor listings, compile evidence, and craft appeals under opaque and changing platform rules. You could build an AI-driven platform that detects likely fake reviews with high-confidence scores, automatically assembles admissible evidence, and generates human-sounding, platform-compliant dispute submissions and rebuttals with an audit trail and optional human escalation. Monetize via subscriptions and agency partnerships (modeled market = $12.0B = 10M businesses × $1.2K ACV) and offer SLA-backed dispute success metrics to justify pricing; competition is medium, and revenue potential scores around 86/100. Key challenges are access limitations to Google’s systems, the need to avoid false positives that erode trust, and continuously adapting models to shifting moderation policies. Market timing is favorable: rapid NLP improvements raise detection accuracy, local search’s share of discovery is growing, and recent platform enforcement changes create urgency for faster, compliant workflows. To stand out, prioritize building proprietary labeled data and evidence-packaging that meets Google’s submission requirements, pursue reseller relationships with local SEO agencies, and offer measurable outcomes — but expect a nontrivial, data-and-trust-heavy upfront investment before you can scale profitably.
