Hello. I am a Japanese gold product expert.

Last month, I saw the help page for "Business Profile restrictions for policy violations".
Business Profile restrictions for policy violations - Google Business Profile Help

I have seen "not be able to receive new reviews or ratings for set period of time" and "unpublished for set period of time". I have seen this since December 2023.
However, I have not seen the third one, "display a warning to let consumers know that fake reviews were removed".
What does this display look like? Also, has anyone tried "Appeal your Business Profile restriction"?

@mblumenthal - thanks for posting the screenshot!
Can I ask if you know by what methodology did those 'suspected fake reviews' got removed from that place?

I am asking because a client of mine is targeted by an ex-employee who seems to know how to game the Google review system.
The disgruntled ex-employee(and friends) is posting a series of 1-star reviews with no text whatsoever.
Although these multiple 1-star reviews are a form of fake engagement (according to Google's guidelines), these seem hard to remove because there is an absence of any offensive text.
