How do you go about reporting a network of spammy websites and reviews?

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

I have run into a couple of spammy business listings who all have positive reviews from the same accounts. These accounts have not reviewed any other businesses and the businesses all use the same design template. Honestly, its strange to me that the Google algo can’t identify this type of thing.

I know I can report a single review but, what do you do when there are 50+ reviews – all of which are fake on brand new listings? The whole listing is a sham.

Some businesses have an address and some don’t so, these aren’t all map issue but, they are all google business listing issues.

Olá, @thinkhard

Bem vindo ao fórum.

Pelo que entendi você encontrou uma ficha de empresa que é falsa com dezenas de comentários falsos. É isso?

Caso sim, clique aqui e utilize o formulário Business Redressal Complaint Form

É muito comum listagens falsas terem muitos comentários, também falsos, pois isso atrapalha a remoção pelo métodos convencionais de denúncias, e os spamers sabem disso.

Sucesso

You can also report the user accounts for abuse on Google Maps.

Best of luck
