Questions, answered
Will WebRun report the reviews automatically?
No - it flags and links, but you decide which ones to report. The Report button on each platform is a legal and policy decision that should always be human-led.
How does it know a review is spam?
It checks for common signals: brand-new reviewer accounts, no other review history, generic or off-topic text, and suspiciously round-number review counts. It errs on the side of flagging for you to judge.
Can it flag reviews on other platforms too?
Yes - add Trustpilot, Tripadvisor, or any public review page to the plan and it will scan them on the same morning cycle.
