Google+, Yelp, Linked In all provide a platform for customer reviews. The larger pool of reviews the more credibility you have.  Each of these platforms has an ever-changing algorithm that scores the real vs. fake reviews. Bad reviews can be managed and the algorithms look for real people who have actively provided authentic reviews. It helps to have reviewers who are active in multiple focuses of businesses such as restaurants, home services, professional services and others. Its hard to know where your reviews are coming from and or when. But you should monitor your online reputation and fix any issues that come up.
