Does GetRating follow Google's review policy?
Yes, when used as designed. Google's policy forbids review gating: asking only customers who had a positive experience for a review, or discouraging negative reviews. GetRating asks every customer, and every customer is offered your public review links. Its routing spreads customers across review sites, for example a 50/50 split between Google and Trustpilot or a different site per star level, so you build reviews in more than one place. In 5-star mode, customers who pick 1–3 stars also see a private feedback form, but always together with your public review links, never instead of them. GetRating never creates, edits or removes reviews on any platform.
