Hippo Shield is a professional review case management platform built to help business owners dispute and remove unfair, fake, or policy-violating online reviews from Google and Yelp.

Why we built Hippo Shield
A single unfair review can cost a small business thousands of dollars in lost customers. Yet most business owners have no idea how to navigate the complicated, frustrating dispute process that Google and Yelp provide — and even fewer have the time to do it properly.
Hippo Shield was created by a team of digital marketing and reputation management professionals who have worked with hundreds of local businesses — from dentists and roofers to restaurants and law firms — to protect their online standing. We saw the same problem over and over: legitimate businesses being hurt by fake, malicious, or mistaken reviews with no effective way to fight back.
So we built the tool we always wished existed. Hippo Shield streamlines the entire dispute lifecycle: finding your negative reviews, documenting each case, filing professional disputes, and tracking outcomes — all in one place. Our protected payment model means your payment is processed securely, with eligible unsuccessful cases handled per our refund policy.
We built Hippo Shield for business owners who work hard, care about their reputation, and deserve a fair shot at setting the record straight.
Every dispute we file follows Google's official policies. No tricks, no shortcuts.
We only succeed when you do. Our protected payment model means your payment is secure.
We understand the real-world impact a single bad review can have on a local business.
Track every case in real time through your dashboard. No black boxes.
