I recently read a review that sounded like it was written by a shill for a competitor. The reviewer has written four reviews, three of which are 1-star “reviews” of competitors, and one is a 5-star review for the company he recommends highly in the other three reviews.
I clicked the “flag” and reported the review I had originally read as Spam/Advertising. There was not a field to enter free text.
If free text had been available I would have pointed out the pattern described above. Would sending this additional information to Google Search & Maps be helpful? Or, as I think is the case, will Goggle staff check this reviewer’s other posts anyway?
Many thanks,
Mark
