Gotchas - check before you buy

high

Your property gets a public profile regardless; ignored negative reviews stay visible

medium

Manager tools lack public pricing; expect a sales call before you see numbers

medium

Moderation disputes are common; landlords publicly contest reviews and ratings

low

Guess: epIQ award eligibility ties to review volume and survey participation
