New Delhi : Google Maps is used to find and know unknown routes. Sometimes information about the location of a business as well as reviews about the business make the user's work easier. But the problem arises when fake reviews about a business are added to Google Maps. Google Map users are unable to detect these fake reviews and are unable to trust that business. In this episode, Google Maps has brought a new feature for its users. With this new feature, users will be alerted about fake reviews on Google Maps. If there are fake reviews of a business on Google Maps, the user will get information about it immediately.
How the map alert system will work
A new alert system on Google Maps will display a notification on a specific business profile. This notification will only appear if a large number of unverified reviews have been created to make the business look better. According to the Search Engine Roundtable, Google has released a warning card for Google Maps users.
Whenever a fake review regarding a particular business is removed by Google Maps, the user checking the business profile will get to know about it. This feature was first seen in the United Kingdom but has now been rolled out in the US as well.
It's hard to add new reviews after fake reviews are removed
The user decides to select a local business and service based on the rating received by the business on Google Maps. In such a situation, such a feature will prove beneficial for Google Maps users on many occasions. Google has not given any specific information about such a feature.
It is believed that after adding fake reviews with such a feature, local businesses and services will also be banned from adding new reviews for some time. Also, old reviews and ratings will also be unpublished during the investigation process.
