How Google Maps reviews work 

My mom's business got hit with 10 1-star reviews in a day from a review bomb, two of them were exact duplicates. Google's ML algorithm did not pick it up.

I today received a message saying that 'Your account was banned from publishing reviews due to a violation of our policies. Furthermore, all of your other reviews have also been removed.' I have published well over 200 unbiased reviews. I certainly shall not be wasting any more time writing up reviews. It could well be that the only reviews Google wants are positive - as is Trip Advisor. As it happened the ovewhelming buk of my reviews were positive. Good businesses will suffer because of Google Maps policy of being unreliable.

Easiest way to inform your community and visitors. Lifeblood for businesses, especially during the current times.

they should really add a review reply button, not just the owner of the place being able to reply it

As a photographer I like adding high quality images to my reviews. After posting them many of the images don't show, but the message "No User Photo Available Here" does. Why bother wasting time posting images to Google Maps if some bot is going to reject them for gawd knows what reason? If you are going to do this at least have your bot inform us if we have done something wrong.

I love the concept of having real people leaving genuine reviews for the benefits of many people. Businesses, services or products, details like opening hours/days, nearby carpark etc.

What do i do if my customers left a review and it doesnt show up. Im guessing its caught in your super smart ML algo?

I enjoy leaving reviews on Google, especially when it means that I can leave great reviews for those who deserve it.

I have been experiencing the misuse of many new places including Dental Clinics, Beauty Parlour etc in our locality especially by educated class. I notiiced most of the reviews being given five stars using superlatives even after opening of a very few days and to my surprise note that most of the reviewers were only having one review in life time as if they were born to make this review. I have been helplessly watching this trend inspite of taging and now noticed not only the reviews but even the places are not existing.In short such control is required for misuse.

Google frequently suppresses accurate negative reviews. I wish they didn't rely so heavily on machine learning.

This is terrible actually. This means that when businesses treat others like crap with prejudice and/or racism. Then the people cannot warn others about this. If you're going to have this then we should also be able to access those reviews as well. Maybe like Twitter does as a hidden message. It's not fair to people who have legitimate concerns about business owners that don't respect their employees or their customers. For example, if a small business is known for their prejudice against Muslims. How are we to know that way we won't go there? This was the easiest way. Or is they support alm??? You think this has nothing to do with buying an item and leaving but we all don't have the same experiences. Please rethink this or have another option. Thanks for reading!!

Remington did an awesome job. He was Very well versed in his job. He cleaned and dismantled our gas fireplace and knew exactly what he was doing, finding the problem and fixing Our fireplace. He also cleaned up his area upon completion.

Can map reviews be ghosted like comments on RU-vid can? Meaning the user thinks it's publicly viewable when in fact it's only viewable to themselves.

Is the ML filter new or old? Reviews has been plagued by bought 5 star reviews for a long time.

Google maps continuously gives wrong information. Petty.

Wouldn't trust google map reviews. They tend to suppress your negative reviews despite accuracy but keep the good ones.

Let me tell you how they ACTUALLY work: Business owners create fake Google accounts, post a single five-star review for themselves, log out of the account and never go back. On occasion, they'll review two or three nearby places before or after they review themselves to make it look good. Customers are tricked into thinking this is a great restaurant (as an example) when it's just a mediocre, lackluster buffet.

Google Maps Thanks So Much For Video Is Very Good

YOU BLOCKED SO MANY OF MY REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!! GOOGLE MAPS REVIEWS ARE CORRUPT!!!! bye!!!!

I'm local guide LV 10. And now, all my newest post (reviews & photos) are not published :(

Can you update street view to 2021 in tixtla guerrero

pursue litigation? wtf is this?

Can the agumented reality be implemented also in the driving mode? This feature is so useful in the walking mode. It would be cool if I could see the arrows directing me into the write lane prior to my turn.. Sometimes, the voice guide is confusing ..

👤💭 so believe you mean everything else is going down in history when people take pictures of me when I get much younger older I remember those years go on forever for me to list it on the Internet and were definitely in history books for children or something like that except about me giving my future grandkids beyond the future well look me up on this whole Internet and find out the history well learned so much about the world that’s beautiful 🤩

Automated learning mechine such a nice tools for creating safe environment

Your title is misleading. This isn't "how it works" this is "what goes on behind the scenes". Review this review with your fancy machine

This is my second comment which I felt very relevant in this context. I was much interested in adding photos and reviews especially at the early stage. It gave me lot of satisfaction. As such used to go though each contributions. But I was surprised to note that one of my photo of a school which was really very good was given a very bad comment by a sadist and time pass spammer and the comment was written in the Review. Not only the review was published but also got points for it. I felt very bad wish need of some controls although I flagged it as it affected my incentives. This type of misuse was very much controlled now.

The artificial as well as the human watchdog of the Google review system seems to be in urgent need of repair! I wrote a review, which was free of any hate, racism or lies and untruths. It was not even a bad review either with three stars. It was not published, apparently on the reason that bad reviews have been popping up about this company a lot lately. Is that a problem of mine??? No!!! Especially since reviews from other customers were published at the same time, being just as objective as mine. I'm living in Germany and here the citizens' freedom of expression is enshrined in law. Google, would you please respect that, otherwise the Google review system loses its meaning!

Do You Please Update Your Maps To May 8 2022 And Make It Night

How to connect Google maps review online working

Right

I asked more than once from Google Maps to suggest an amendment to a place in Iraq because the name of the site is not in its correct location and they did not respond to me 😭💔

My very positive review for a nail studio is getting rejected! Wtf? Why? Am writing it so nicely

unfortunately Google algorithms do not work well. All of my useful comments recently were deleted by artificial intelligence. I was leaving comments about every place I visited. In this case, there is no need to write any more comments because google immediately deletes it. of course I have already checked the compliance of my comments with google content policy.

♥️

Great...

Great video. Thank you!

Google maps. Come back to 14356 Highway 29. Please.

Yes, thank you and thank you so much for everything. 🤔 Al Jazeera English ☺️ Each of us has a role to play in protecting our peoples and planet 🌍🌏🌎. And to respect the DIGNITY of all HUMAN BEINGS. 😊 But why, Al Jazeera English ☺️. The world has reached the pinnacle of materialism, killing, and war. Never in history did the world have such an urgent need for the culture of peace amongst people and nations as today. A basic understanding of the current painful reality suffices further explanation. Thanks 😊. ☺️👏☺️👏☺️👏☺️👏😊
