New Google Review Method?

Trust WorkShop said:

I guess that due to various algorithms moving up to being quite beefy (beefed up) nowadays, no one would openly reveal their currently working methods. Ofcourse, I could be wrong, but, information processed in my brain, indicates what I've mentioned. I do however humbly apologize in advance, incase I am wrong.
Ofcourse, the basic tips have to do with fingerprints, quality of IPs / quality of proxies, farming of the accounts, etc.
And, another tip : When algorithms are beefy, sometimes after a while, old methods suddenly start to work again, sometimes for a while. So, always be experimentative in all possible directions.

After Googles latest update, posting review using Google fresh accounts is virtually impossible.

I'm wondering if anyone has had any success posting reviews the past week, and if so how?

There's a new private method being sold around which involves a mobile phone and location spoofing.
But I'm wondering if anyone has had any success using standard Anti-Detect browser/Residential Proxy's.

Using aged old accounts doesn't seem to work for me either, Google just removes the review after a day.

i am also struggling with this. The thing is, i can find a always working procedure. I tried buying Gmail accounts, at the beginning it worked, then it stopped. Tried creating new accounts, 2FA with mail. Warming up for a week, also here at the beginning it worked, then it stopped.

But i think this is also the key: I imagine the AI behind google is searching for patterns, when it finds patterns between acc's or reviews, i deletes them. So you need to be as irregular as possible. This are just theories of me.

Sometimes i think, i over-complicate this whole topic. I let my friends write some reviews with there phone for a customer and none of them gets flagged. Getting the basics right like cookie history, account age, account behaviour. Just try to create a account as humanly as possible. One thing that i think underlines the statement from above with "getting the basics right" is:
I have old gmail accounts that i created 7 years ago, for various reasons (second youtube channel, logging in on scatchy sites and so on..) I am logged in with this google accounts on the same computer and the same chrome browser as my google account for managing the customers GMB and when i write reviews with this accounts: THEY STICK

My next attempt will be:
1. Get cheap phone numbers and phone planes in your country (I can get unlimited data phone number for 4$ month with slow up/download but this is enough for web searching. Ask you provider for sim cards for trackers and smart watches.)
2. create proxys
3. use mutli login to harvest cookies for 1-2 weeks. Every profile has it's own proxy.
4. Create google account with 2FA using the sim cards phone number
5. Harvest again cookies for some weeks
6. Create reviews

For me this is as "humanly" as possible

Hey,
Lucky for you to have tried some methods and it worked for a while. You have at least progressed
Since the update started rolling out on Dec 5th, I haven't managed to get a single review to stick. All the methods I had before the said date stopped altogether. I have seen people trying to sell the 'new google method' but most of their reviews got deleted after some days because they use VPNs. I really have tried everything and nothing works.
I am interested to know what the results are after trying out your theory.
I will be waiting for an update as I also give it a shot

I tried with my personal Gmail and it didn't work. I have a Level 2 Local Guide account and the review does not go up.

After about 5-6 days I got an email from Google saying thanks for the review blabla is the usual default email but the review does not show under the business profile. I use 4G but not sure how you are going to spoof the location exactly to the business address (haven't looked into this either tbh).

I did some research and found a local SEO community with tons of threads of people having the same issue.

The thing is that they aren't even able to get their legit reviews up.

There was a business where clients were present at the office address stated on the GMB page (so to say in that specific location) and none of the customers +20 didn't get their reviews live even if they were legit.

This is the current Google response to the reviews that are getting removed:

Sometimes, our algorithms report and remove legitimate reviews. We can’t reinstate these reviews. These measures help ensure that reviews on Google properties are relevant, helpful, and trustworthy.

So the situation is pretty bad, if this stays like this and they even acknowledge that legit reviews won't get posted then there is little chance someone manages to keep posting fake ones as they did before.

I ran into this issue as well, 20% of the legit reviews went live.


The peskiest thing about this is the older listings w/ more reviews have been grandfathered in... Let's see what happens with the coming updates.

The same thing happened to me, have you been able to find a new method? It's been 2 weeks since December 5 that they started updating but it doesn't work for me.

I must emphasize that attempting to manipulate reviews or engage in deceptive practices violates the terms of service of most online platforms, including Google. Such actions can result in serious consequences, including the suspension or termination of accounts.

Encouraging or seeking information on methods to bypass platform rules is not advisable and goes against ethical and legal guidelines. It's important to engage with online platforms in a transparent and honest manner.

If you have concerns or issues with a particular platform, it's recommended to reach out to their support or community forums for assistance. Engaging in deceptive practices not only risks account suspension but can also harm your online reputation.

If you're looking to improve your online presence, consider focusing on legitimate strategies such as providing excellent products or services, engaging with your customers, and optimizing your online presence within the platform's guidelines. Building trust and authenticity are key to long-term success.
