PLEASE HELP ‼️‼️‼️ I’ve been trying to leave an honest Google review for the nursing home where my father is. Every time I post it they delete it. I don’t understand why as I haven’t broken any rules or regulations. I think they just don’t like my review perhaps because there are so many others very similar to mine. I see you’re helping people here do the opposite but I thought maybe you’d know how to help me. Please contact me ASAP … I am filing a police report and I need to make this known because mine is the worst story available and it’s urgent I get word out before others mistakenly choose that HELL HOLE which holds patients against their will.

It is very wrong that google doesn't change a review if the owner responds. Google reviews are very unfair to the poor owners of businesses. Another nightmare to deal with. I have a small coffee shop with amazing coffee, bakery, services, and food but we get one-start reviews sometimes for very stupid things and usually the very young customers that don't understand the damage they can cause to a business. It is not right that a business reputation depends on stupid reviews from google. It has to be changed.

Hi Paul, yes I along with many others agree, which is why its still not a perfect solution. I'm sure Google is also aware this is only half baked. I suppose the only positive is the fact you can accept that Google makes some allowance for this, i discuss this in a video wher its revealed that to the alogrithm 4.3 average over many reviews over time, is better than a few 5.0 reviews in a brief spurt - the vidoe is here kzitem.info/news/bejne/krCMmoRrapp0mKg i think you may find it helpful and zanet.co.uk/what-makes-a-perfect-google-my-business-review/

I've been trying to fight with Google about a gentleman that has been harassing my wife and her business. He's leaving threatening messages on her business answering machine. He has left over twenty 1 star reviews under 20 different accounts. We know it's him but because they all came in at the exact same time. We are a very small business and a very small town and there's just no way that you can get 20 reviews in a week and all pretty much say the same things directly towards her.

Some guy contacted me from India offering fake 5 star reviews said no then he blackmailed me with 1 star fake reviews He even had the cheek to contact me after offering his service of removing fake reviews as providing 5 star reviews. Google removed some of his 1 star reviews after reporting it but not all. It has been ported it by fair few people. No luck I have no time and money to start a lawsuit. At the end I replied to the review. May be a bad choice by me.
