What's the best way to report merchants selling reviews?

[Lachlan_Wells]

Hi guys, my client just got a DM on their GBP offering reviews for sale. Does anyone know which form/email I can use to report this to the relevant team?

You can report on the message

also you can use this link: Business Profile third-party policy: Report a violation - Google Business Profile Help

hope it helps

Thanks Professor M. I've just reported it on the message and submitted that form too. Noticed that '3rd party selling reviews' is not one of the many 3rd party violations you can choose between. I wonder if this means they don't have a team/resources allocated to this?

The one option I use is "Third Party engages in marketing and sales practices that employ deception or harassment (for example, threats of degrading business’ search ranking)"
