Couple of 12 hour old reviewer accounts astroturfing client.

[j_holtslander]

Client hit by a couple bad reviews from two Google accounts that were both apparently created 12 hours ago.
(Their entire review history started 12 hours ago.)

Neither of these people are legitimate customers according to the client's records.

I've flagged the reviews as "Conflict of interest" but is there anything further we can do?
(It really bugs me that there isn't a way to flag a reviewer account as fake.)

• Fake reviewer #1
• Fake reviewer #2

Hey @j_holtslander There is a recently added feature that allows you to report the reviewer profile. You need to pull it up on a mobile device. See below.

Dude. Thank you!

This method only appears to work if the reviewer has left text content to their review. If they only left a star rating, the reviewer can't be brought up.

I have another way to go about this. If you subscribe to our training, the instructions are here Transferring & Removing Reviews – The Expert's Guide to Local SEO. If you're not a subscriber yet just let me know and I'll PM you the instructions

Very interested to hear about that. I am not currently a subscriber though.

Just DM'd you.
