Google reviews - what is your experience

Do you have any experience with google reviews? Years ago I used to sell it for clients but it became almost impossible to make such a service with stability. I am looking for any advices about this topic to bring back stability and to restart providing this service for my clients. If you have methods for google reviews, we can start cooperation

Google review is ain't hard task if you in same location with the company need the service, but making review on different country/location gmb list can limit review from getting count/appear to public view.

Is it matter from which location is based the account or they check the ip from the moment posting the review only? Also should we keep any delay between reviews and is there any limits?

Yeah, I’ve been doing the Google reviews thing for quite some time now — it was much easier a few years ago, without these aggressive filters and tightly monitored IP patterns. It’s a completely different ballgame now. Stability is the real issue, more so when scaling or working with high-risk niches.
A couple of things that have helped me of late:
Aged local Gmaps accounts from actual Android use with real activity (no fresh accounts, no “cold drops”)
Very natural on super low drop speeds — days, not hours apart
Varied review content that’s longer and tied to actual local landmarks or service details
Mobile proxies rotation with correct geolocation – not only generic datacenter junk
Even with all that, still, there’s no such thing as 100% -- some stick, some don’t. But with the right setup, you can get solid retention.
If you’re looking to collaborate or test some angles, DM me. Always down to compare notes with someone serious about bringing this back the right way.

Yeah, Google’s cracked down hard on reviews over the years. These days, focusing on real customer outreach and review generation tools (like QR codes, follow-up emails, or SMS requests) is the safest bet. Happy to chat about ideas if you're looking to collaborate.

I think google reviews are impressive and better then trustpilot. I would never go fake google reviews. But i would offer my clients to write a good review for x price.. for example I had an idea if im going to have a hostel I want to make a statment that everyone that show you made 1 google review with your account will get a free beer. Its a small fee vs what you earn in the long run.

I wish there was a definitive guide, can anyone write a guide or tutorial for a gmb review method that works in 2025 please!!

Want to get real reviews for your business — for free? Try this simple trick.

Create a LinkedIn group dedicated to exchanging free reviews. Invite like-minded business owners and professionals to join — aim for around 500 organic members.

Here's how it works:
Whenever you need reviews, simply share your URL and review text with the group.
Group members will leave reviews for you — and you’ll do the same for them when it's their turn.
All reviews come from real people with real accounts, and they’re posted at random times, making them look natural.

In my experience, out of 500 shared requests, I’ve seen 400+ live reviews successfully published — and all 100% organic.

Give it a try and comment below with your results. Let’s help each other grow!

Yeah, I’ve worked with Google reviews before—I used to offer it as a service too, but like you said, stability became a real issue. Lately, I’ve been experimenting with methods that focus on aged accounts, local IPs, and natural posting patterns. It’s still tricky, but with the right setup, it’s possible to get decent stick rates again. If you're serious about restarting the service, I’d be open to sharing ideas or even collaborating. Shoot me a DM, and we can chat more about strategies that are working in today’s environment. Always down to connect with like-minded folks.

Many people i know locally are looking for that kind of stuff. Just ask around your area and see who would want to get it.

I think I might have an idea that works
