About 2 years ago I had a Local SEO client in the senior services industry that I advised should generate reviews. At they time, they said they would try and they were only able to get 2-3 reviews, admiting it was too challenging for their community members or their families to leave reviews.
Fast forward to now, and both of their facilities are getting a 5 star review about every other day. To me, I know these are clearly fake, not just because I worked with this organization but also because of how they are written (client name redacted, all from only 1 of their 2 profiles/locations):
Is there anything that can be done to remove these reviews? I don't want to be vindictive, however it is sketchy local SEO organizations that do things like fake reviews that cause harm in our industry. I do not want the client back, I just don't like seeing the lies in our small community. Especially in this sensitive industry.
Open to suggestions.
