Not Every Negative Review Should Be Ignored.
A negative review isn't automatically a bad review.
Sometimes, legitimate customer feedback can help a business improve. But what happens when a review is fake, spam, abusive, defamatory, misleading, or against a platform's policies?
That's different.
Before trying to remove a review, ask:
✔️ Does it violate the platform's review guidelines?
✔️ Does it appear to be spam or fake?
✔️ Is it unrelated to the actual business experience?
✔️ Does it contain prohibited or abusive content?
✔️ Can you provide evidence to support your report?
If the answer is yes, there may be a legitimate reason to report it.
I assist businesses with the review assessment and policy-based removal process across platforms including Google Maps, Trustpilot, Yelp, and Glassdoor.
Don't fight every negative review. Understand which ones actually deserve to be challenged.

IS YOUR E-COMMERCE STORE GETTING LESS VISIBILITY THAN IT SHOULD?
Whether you run a Shopify, Etsy, WooCommerce, Wix, or another e-commerce store, low traffic and fewer sales don’t always mean your products are bad.
Your store may have SEO issues, weak product optimization, indexing problems, poor visibility, technical issues, or other factors limiting how easily customers can discover your products.
This is where a professional Store Audit can help.
🔍 What I check:
• Store SEO & search visibility
• Product titles, descriptions & keywords
• Technical and on-page issues
• Product indexing/discoverability
• Store trust & conversion factors
• Mobile experience & page performance
• Competitor positioning
• Opportunities to improve targeted traffic
📈 The benefit?
You get a clear picture of what may be holding your store back, what needs improvement, and which areas you should prioritize to build better visibility and attract more qualified visitors.
If your store has traffic but no sales—or barely gets discovered—don’t guess. Audit it.
📩 Reach out to me for a professional e-commerce store audit and let’s identify the opportunities your store may be missing.
Google AI Mode just cited me.
I searched "adeshina seo audit reports" and Google’s AI Overview directly referenced my framework for what a modern SEO audit must cover.
That's not a flex. It's a signal.
The old audit model is dead. Keyword density and basic backlink counts don't cut it anymore.
A real audit in 2026 has to focus on three critical pillars:
• Standard SEO: the foundational Google ranking factors
• AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation): reports, getting cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI search engines
• Technical Health for AI: ensuring search bots and AI models can crawl your site cleanly
The shift is simple: ranking isn't enough. You have to be citable.
If your audit process hasn't changed in the last two years, it's already outdated.

You don’t need to diagnose the problem before bringing it to me.
A client booked 30 minutes with me for something that technically worked, but didn’t feel sustainable.
❌ We didn’t start with templates.
❌ We didn’t start with automations.
❌ We worked backwards from the problem.
What’s actually getting in the way?
What needs structure?
Who needs access to what?
What should stay manual?
What, if anything, is worth automating?
The goal wasn’t to fit as many recommendations as possible into 30 minutes.
It was to make sure we were solving the right problem first.
Her review afterwards mentioned something I particularly appreciated: that I took the time to understand both the business and the broader context before recommending what should happen next.
That’s probably the simplest explanation of how I work.
Sometimes the answer is a better workflow.
Sometimes it’s clearer ownership.
Sometimes it’s automation.
Sometimes the process shouldn’t exist in the first place.
Bring me the problem. We’ll figure out what actually needs to happen next.
Until the next problem,
Marilit
