A look at Zurich explains why:
"They even hire agencies that write these fake reviews for them."
SRF Data found thousands of "highly suspicious" profiles among half a million Google Maps reviews:
"A large part is likely attributable to companies that offer such fake accounts and sell positive reviews."
Fake reviews violate Art. 3 UWG (the Swiss Unfair Competition Act). The Swiss Consumer Protection Foundation is examining legal steps.
Four steps. No room for manipulation.

Google/Trustpilot figures reflect our own research (as of July 2026), not their own statements — details and sources at /transparenz.
Honestly: we're starting from zero.
A platform without a mandatory purchase receipt would already have a thousand bought reviews. We'd rather have none than fake ones — and you can be the first to change that.

We're building the infrastructure for that — with a proof requirement instead of promises."
