BOURNEMOUTH, ENGLAND, June 27, 2010
/24-7PressRelease/ -- KwikChex.com has launched a campaign to help tackle the problems created by rogue posters using Google Map Reviews. Many reputable businesses are being attacked online by fake, malicious and unfair reviews - and then they experience severe difficulties in getting them removed or even responding effectively to them, which is resulting in financial losses in many cases. The map reviews are also being used by dishonest businesses and scammers posting fake good reviews to dupe consumers.
The campaign aims to highlight the consequences and scale of the problem. Businesses that have experienced difficulties are invited to join and provide reports, feedback and suggestions.
A KwikChex spokesperson said "Whilst we have been able to help businesses with this problem, it is not fair that they are having to pay to address problems that are being created because of a Google resource that can be very influential in how their business is viewed, but does not remotely attempt to authenticate postings. The problem is massively exacerbated by the difficulty in getting them removed, even when they are libelous. We would rather be focusing on our core services, which are authenticating and promoting reputable businesses."
The campaign has been set up on Google Groups and is called Google Maps Reviews Improve Or Remove. Businesses wishing to join can serach under this title in Google Groups or visit the KwikChex website and click on 'Fake Reviews' and link to the campaign.
Elevated Communications provides innovative marketing solutions to corporates and start up businesses. We also produce our own proactive web based solutions, including kwikchex.com, and Coconex.com
