SEO Companies Get Stung by Fake Yelp Reviews
If a Search Engine Optimization company approaches you about writing fake Yelp reviews for your business, please say, “No, thanks.”
Why?
It’s illegal.
Nineteen SEO companies were recently caught in a sting operation conducted by the New York attorney general. They will have to pay $350,000 in penalties for posting fake reviews on sites like Yelp, Google Local and CitySearch.
