In Germany relying solely on high customer ratings is a risky move, but a new Google Maps update reveals if a local business actually earned its high score or simply deleted all its bad reviews
A small update to the Google Maps app is making it easier for customers to identify those businesses which have really earned their high customer ratings versus those which have simply gotten rid of most of the bad ones.
This means that telling fact from fiction, when it comes to customer reviews, has become easier as long as you know where to look in the app.
And yes, it turns out this is a Germany-specific issue.
Whether you're searching for a new restaurant or café to try, or seeking a bookstore or a masseuse or even a dentist, Google Maps is the go-to app for many people for both navigating the world and finding the businesses they need.
