[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I leave google reviews (but not so much yelp) and i have left one-to-five-star reviews based on my experience. why do you think they are fake? [/quote]

Well I explained why. Because my dental practice has not a bad or even just not superlative review. They run a very slick, marketing focused practice, so I’d also guess they are monitoring their ratings.

Also I signed up for a concierge functional medical practice membership a few years ago. Had great reviews, people claiming they’d had life changing assistance, blah blah. I signed up- thousands of dollars btw- and didn’t get much out of it other than buying lots of supplements that did little. A year or so later, I looked at their reviews and they had tanked. Plenty of negative feedback. I just checked on them again and they are back to almost 5 rating, only slightly driven down by some older low ratings. I can only guess they stopped paying for management during that period of time [/quote]

The only times I notice something like this (when businesses try to game the system) and when it has a lot of 5-star reviews and all of the reviewers are relatively new (with very low number of reviews). If you see those, you know they are gaming it but, IMHO, those cases are really rare. I am talking about google reviews only. [/quote]

Not so rare [/quote]
