Have you ever reported fake positive google reviews?

There reaches a point where you think someone a competitor, or someone who isn't particularly in your good-books has crossed the line with hundreds of fake reviews where the local average is about 2 dozen.

Where do you go? What the official procedure?

Suspected fake Google reviews can be reported to Google by anybody. Suspect reviews can be flagged to Google by choosing ‘Flag as inappropriate’ from the options next to the review


Reporting suspect reviews to Google Small Business support should be your next port of call if your initial flagging did not work. The response you get from flagging a review shouldn’t take more than a week. If, after this time, the review is still there, it’s time to contact Google My Business. You can do this by following these steps.

Log into your Google My Business page here: Navigate to the Reviews section
Click the home menu, and then select Support
You can then select a preferred method of contact, either Phone or Email
You will be asked to fill in a few pieces of information. Attach a screenshot example of the suspect review and offer any further information you feel may be helpful.
Submit your complaint. You should hear back within 2 working days.
