Why only Google reviews? From our experience in moving company marketing, Google reviews are the hardest to fake. Google's review moderation is the most aggressive among major platforms, making Google ratings the most reliable single indicator of genuine customer sentiment. Other review platforms vary widely in their ability to detect and remove inauthentic reviews.
