Complaints

Reply publicly, briefly and politely. Move details to DM. Fix the problem.

Trolls

Don't argue. Hide or delete abusive comments; restrict repeat offenders.

Fake negativity

Report it. Never respond by attacking other businesses — we don't offer negative-engagement services for that reason.
