Google Maps is used to find and know unknown routes. Many times, along with information about the location of a business, reviews made about the business also make the user's work easier. However, the problem arises when fake reviews are added about a business on Google Maps. Google Maps users are unable to find out about these fake reviews and trust that business. In this episode, Google Maps has brought a new feature for its users. With this new feature, users will get warnings about fake reviews on Google Maps. If there are fake reviews of a business on Google Maps, the user will get immediate information about it.
How will the Maps warning system work?
The new warning system on Google Maps will display a notification on a specific business profile. This notification will be visible only when inauthentic reviews have been made in high proportion to make a business look better. According to the Search Engine Roundtable, Google has introduced a warning card for Google Maps users.
Whenever fake reviews are removed by Google Maps for a specific business, the user checking the business profile will come to know about it. This feature was first seen in the United Kingdom, but now it has been started in America as well.
It will be difficult to add new reviews after fake reviews
A user decides to choose local businesses and services along with the ratings received by the business on Google Maps. In such a situation, such a feature will prove useful for a Google Maps user on many occasions. No specific information has been given by Google regarding such a feature.
It is believed that with this feature, after adding fake reviews to local businesses and services, there will be a ban on adding new reviews for some time. At the same time, during the investigation process, old reviews and ratings will also be unpublished.
