I am trying to leave G reviews for my business but it is not consistent.
I bought several phones and bought G PVA accounts. I turned on location history and used the phones to go about my city, taking pictures and leaving a few reviews for some other places before leaving a review for my business. Some of the reviews were public, but some did not show up unless I was logged into the google account I used. What I did was activate a new SIM and number for the phone, login to the PVA account and used the account for a week before leaving the review. I suspected the reason they did not show was that the location history showed I was active at my home and work for a long period of time. It would be easy for G to figure out they are not legit.
I ditched the bought PVA accounts and created 4 brand new ones, with SIMS and numbers, phone activated the new accounts against the numbers. This time I did not have location history turned on, nor were the phones turned on in my work or home so G could not pick up those locations. I spent the last week and a half taking pictures of my local area and adding them to boost the score up for the local guide. I had one of them at 300+ points and today left a review for my business and it has not gone live. This account has only left 1 review, that was for my business.
Can anyone explain why this is? Does G record the unique info of the device leaving the review (serial, imei, or other) and not allow it to leave another review?
How else can I build an account up to a local guide to leave a review for my business and have it stick?
