Google Maps will call out companies that use fake reviews

Although Google hasn’t confirmed the news, according to reports Google Maps will now start publicly calling out companies that use fake reviews for boosting their ratings. It will do this by labelling a warning display on company’s Google Business Profile, making customers aware that fake reviews have been removed from company’s GBP account. The displaying of warning will certainly impact the credibility of the company. Another way Google can flag the businesses is not allotting them new ratings or not allowing them to publish new reviews. If implemented, these rules could potentially help in significantly curbing the problem of fake reviews, which has been abused in the past by companies and marketers alike.
