Rules Of Posting A Google Review?
The truth is that if you want your Google Review to remain on Google Maps, all Google rules and regulations must be strictly adhered to. Meaning, all the information in your review must be accurate, on-topic, and no defamatory language can be used.
Also, your review must be original not copied or stolen from somebody else. It cannot be s3xually explicit, offensive, or represent a conflict of interest as well. Represent a conflict of interest in the sense that users cannot review their own business, and reviewers collect money from brands for their review.
If you must know, users are allowed to report a review if it appears to violate the rules, and if Google supports their assessment of a review, action will be taken. Once Google backs any complaint, the platform can take the content down, and even suspend or delete the erring account.
