Are You Making These Google Review Errors in 2026?

In 2024, over 240 million policy-violating reviews were deleted. A huge 40% increase from the previous year. AI is to thank, as it scoures the web in seconds wheres a manual review of a review can be time consuming. 

This is great news for Brand Trust Optimization. The very small effect that reviews have traditionally had on a company's rankings was disapointing. This is a huge step in the right direction for Google and the world will surely benefit.
