The whole point of the page
We do not replace Google. Happy customers can still leave a public review if they want. ReviewShroud is the private first step — especially for complaints.
vs Trustpilot
Trustpilot is a public ratings site. Useful for marketing. The wrong place for a waiter who had a bad shift or a driver a customer wants to flag privately.
