Why do Birmingham agencies need careful review work?
Because the UK now explicitly bans posting or commissioning fake reviews, and the CMA can fine businesses directly. Reviews drive local rankings and calls, so agencies need a review strategy that grows real feedback without risk. That protects the client, the agency and the results you report.

What changed with fake reviews in the UK?
Since 7 April 2025, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act lets the CMA enforce consumer law directly, and its banned practices list explicitly includes posting and commissioning fake reviews. The CMA can fine businesses up to 10% of global turnover. Review work for UK clients follows those rules.
