Review handling playbook
What Brandrevieww.org appears to offer, what MNA can do itself, and how to handle negative reviews consistently.
Use an internal process first.
The vendor appears to identify reviews and submit ordinary platform reports or appeals. The platform still decides whether a review is removed. We can manage the same work with better visibility and control.
What the vendor is probably doing
The email says reviews can be removed “in as little as 24 hours” and proposes payment after handling. That sounds like a submission-and-appeal service, not a special removal channel.
Our internal process
Start with a spreadsheet or small database. The important part is keeping the evidence together and having one person approve each appeal.
Policy decision tree
- Is there a specific platform-rule concern? If no, treat it as criticism to address, not remove.
- Can MNA preserve concrete evidence? If no, mark “insufficient evidence.”
- Would the appeal expose nurse, candidate, facility, client, or account information? If yes, stop and route through the appropriate internal review.
- Has a human approved the exact category and wording? If no, do not submit.
- Did the platform decide? Record the result without overstating what caused it.
Initial classification matrix
| Category | Internal handling | Appeal posture |
|---|---|---|
| Impersonation / no genuine interaction | Collect account and interaction evidence; avoid unsupported accusation. | Reviewable |
| Spam / duplicate / coordinated manipulation | Document matching text, timing, profiles, or repetition. | Reviewable |
| Threats, harassment, hate, personal data | Preserve evidence and escalate internally; redact personal data from reports. | Reviewable |
| Demonstrably fabricated factual claim | Separate provable factual error from opinion or dissatisfaction. | Case-specific |
| Legitimate negative experience | Respond calmly, investigate operationally, and address the root issue. | Do not suppress |
| Insufficient evidence | Keep in queue; do not escalate simply because it is damaging. | Hold |
What to protect
Public replies should not reveal private information about nurses, candidates, facilities, clients, assignments, or internal accounts.
Safe public response pattern
Example: “We’re sorry to hear about your concern. We respect the privacy of our nurses, candidates, facilities, and clients, so we cannot discuss individual matters in a public forum. Please contact our office directly so the appropriate team can review the concern.”
Never include
Vendor and process controls
- Do not provide account passwords or unrestricted profile access.
- Use delegated access only if formally approved and least-privilege.
- Require a written scope, deliverables, fee trigger, and evidence of platform decisions.
- Do not authorize mass reporting, purchased accounts, review bombing, or fabricated legal claims.
- Keep raw captures internal; redact before wider sharing.
- Keep outreach, candidate communications, review requests, and appeal submissions as separate workflows.
Simple way to track this
Use automation for reminders and organization—not for deciding which criticism should disappear.
Version 1 · human-in-the-loop
Safe automation later
- Deduplicate review records.
- Remind owners about unresolved cases.
- Generate evidence packets and redacted reports.
- Draft—not publish—response language.
- Show removal outcomes with timestamps.
Success measures
| Track | What it tells us | Do not claim |
|---|---|---|
| Reviews assessed | Queue coverage and response time. | That assessment equals removal. |
| Policy-supported appeals | Whether submissions have a defensible basis. | That an appeal will succeed. |
| Platform decisions | Actual confirmed outcomes. | That MNA or a vendor caused the decision without evidence. |
| Responses and operational fixes | Whether public reputation work connects to service improvement. | That review volume alone proves reputation quality. |
Start here
Use this as the first internal operating pass.
- Assign one MNA owner for the register and one backup.
- Capture every current low-rated review before responding.
- Classify each review using the matrix above.
- Route possible nurse, candidate, facility, client, or account-data issues to the appropriate internal owner.
- Draft a platform-native appeal only for a specific, evidenced violation.
- Draft a privacy-safe response for legitimate criticism.
- Record platform decisions and keep before/after evidence.
- Invite honest feedback through a neutral process after completed interactions; never gate by sentiment.
