We all know Yelp sucks for business owners and it's very hard to look good, and a first page ranking on a review site with mainly bad reviews is very damaging.
The Facts:
I read that great reviews only come from accounts with many active reviews and use cases.
I also read that can't log into accounts from the same IP ever pretty much, and can't log in from your account anywhere else either.
What if you do this (since so many Yelp reviews are either fake, extortion, or generated by competition)
1. Buy a cheap prepaid smartphone at a local vendor like Walmart, or your local Kroger chain store.
2. Make sure said smartphone has a data plan and never connects to WiFi.
3. Join Yelp and review normal places. Either don't give them location access while at target location, or make sure the phone never sets while on at the target business.
4. Go to any place physically before posting a review with the location services on for Yelp.
5. Accomplish review "nirvana" for target company(ies). Possibly sell Yelp reviews for $300-600 income per review, and make sure it's enough to travel to said location (or try using GPS spoofer).
5. Rinse & Repeat with multiple smartphones on different carriers to have a decent sized personally controlled review network.
6. Profit in business, as an SEO, or as a freelance Yelp Review Specialist
Someone please let me know if they try this out. Considering it and also want to hear thoughts before I do.
*DISCLAIMER - I know LEGALLY Yelp has proved they don't practice extortion, because they funnel a bunch of that extortion money into their legal team. Yet they have had so many allegations of it, I am not convinced one bit. No other review source is as bad, and 4-5 star reviews on every platform but Yelp is very telling.*
