If you own a business and have a competitor posting fake reviews that you know are completely fake what do you do? Google seems to do nothing .

I don't have problems with fake reviews,but have problems with the people trying to get you to help your listing. They call 5-6 times a day and make you get up from what you are doing and answer the phone.

Well in the transportation industry we have alot of competition so fake reviews are common. Google seems to just blow them off even when you show proof they are fake. We have never had anyone call us trying to help out listing though.

This is why we should help each other out on here, I sent you a PM. Let me know your business name and I will post a review for you.

Is a fake positive review any better than a fake negative review?

Humans are, I'm sorry to say, political animals. All's fair in love and war..... and business.

Some of the positive Google reviews are definitely fake.
There was a pizza place in my area that was getting 4.8 out of 5.The best reviews and almost 1,000 reviews.

I had to go there and try it.

Worst pizza ever.Easily surpassed by a frozen one at the supermarket.

I'd say the owner of that pizza place has LOTS of friends.
