Google Is Now Asking Your Patients If You Bribed Them For A Review

Google is now asking the humans leaving reviews whether your business offered them a reward for it. One tap on the "Yes" button and your practice is flagged. In this episode I break down what the new prompt means for every practice that has ever run a free whitening or gift card review promo and the clean way to keep reviews coming without the risk.

IN THIS EPISODE

• The new prompt patients see when leaving a review and how one tap flags your practice
• Why the free whitening, gift card and raffle playbook went from harmless to high-risk
• The April policy update this builds on: no review contests, no asking patients to mention staff by name
• Why Google suddenly cares about enforcement: AI Overviews, Ask Maps and AI Mode all run on review trust
• The clean approach that works better anyway: ask every patient, make it easy, never attach a reward
• The one thing to shut down today if your practice or your marketing company is running it
