Consumers want to see repercussions for businesses engaging in fake online reviews.

[keyserholiday]

The new BrightLocal Consumer review study is out. They ask interesting questions about punishment for businesses that engage in fake reviews. What punishments would you like to see?

So far, Google has
1. Deleted fake reviews
2. Deleted the accounts that posted the reviews
3. Locked down profiles for one to six months to prevent new reviews
4. Placed a warning label on businesses that had suspicious reviews removed.

What else should happen?
