In this digital economy, platforms like JVZoo and warrior plus flodded with a bunch of products daily. But it has created a massive problem for users or customers: The rise of Ghost Review. Ghost review is an article written using AI tools without using software or a platform.
They simply copy sales page content, like words and images, to get their commission. As an MBA graduate and digital strategist, I look at platforms or software as a business investment. If you looked someones review and invested in the wrong tool based on that fake review, you just don’t lose money- you lose productivity and lose your valuable time. Here’s what I actually do to write my reviews and give you the best advice.
How to Spot Fake Software Reviews
1. The “Unique Dashboard” Test
How you can spot a fake is to look at the images from the review.
- The Fake – They only use stock images from the sales page and also use screenshots.
- The Strategic Reality – A real reviewer uses the actual dashboard they worked in. You need to look for a unique screenshot with a watermark.
2. Vague Claims vs. Business ROI
Fake reviews use emotional triggers like “Get 10k visitors” or “make $500 today”.
- The strategic check – A professional tool reviewer discuss on ROI and operational workflow. If a reviewer doesn’t speak business language, they arent strategist.
3. The “MBA” Due Diligence: Developer Track Record
A software is only as good as the team behind it. Many vendors launch products and leave.
- The Red Flag – The fake reviewer ignores the product creator’s history.
- The Strategic Check – You need to look developer’s past products. Do they provide regular product updates? support for the product?
4. Check the Author’s Credentials (E-E-A-T)
Now Google has prioritized content on Experience, Expertise, Authoritiveness, and Trust.
- The Questions – You need to look, is there a real person behind the website? Do they have any social media profiles? Do they have any educational background to give business advice?
- The Softdocx promise – I personally analyze or test every tool on this site. If I didn’t test the software, I wouldn’t recommend any software to you.

In this fast digital era, don’t fuel your business with bad information. Look for better and more strategic information about products over hype.
