Google seemed to have removed/deleted a ton of reviews from Google Business Profiles within Google Maps and Local search last week, around September 17th. This came a day or so before Google updated its Google Business Profiles review restrictions policy.
I suppose they could have had evidence that the positive reviews were paid for and manufactured. Not that I trust Google to do anything that isn’t to their direct benefit.
What does this mean? Does this mean they’re trying to do something like Yelp and hold those reviews hostage?
