    How To Video Verify An SAB

    Interesting, I have a listing that's an SAB, address hidden and we want it to continue to be hidden. We believe the address on the backend of the listing is a PO box that the business still use to receive mail. They don't have access to the location, cannot unlock the door etc. The company...

    Really not sure. Possibly only triggered by a new Yelp listing, but removing your Yelp listing then adding again seems overkill and unnecessary IMO

    I've had this countless times. A client's Yelp listing shows their address. Apple create a listing using that info - but if you try to claim or edit the Apple Maps listing it triggers some backend checks and they say it's not allowed. Some have then been marked as permanently closed or removed...

    Can't see GBP admin panels? Anyone have the same issue?

    I had this issue last week just in my UK accounts. A few days later it all magically came back

    Updating address for listing that's an SAB

    We don't want to list the virtual office, just update the address so Google and LSA support see it on the backend

    Updating address for listing that's an SAB

    We need to update the address on the LSA profile so insurance and other business docs are accepted. LSA support claim they can see which address is on the backend of a GBP that's set to an SAB and they want to see the new address there before being able to update the address on the LSA profile...

    Updating address for listing that's an SAB

    Surely it's not compliant with showing the address publicly, which is why we keep and still want the address to be hidden?

    GBP website UTM falling off when clicked

    I had this with one listing and I was overlooking something so simple - using http rather than https for the website field, this was causing the UTMs to drop off

    Updating address for listing that's an SAB

    Changing address is against the guidelines? Not sure I follow here. We want the address to continue to be hidden

    Updating address for listing that's an SAB

    I've ready through some other threads but not found the answer I'm after. We manage a listing that's an SAB - the registered address is a co-op or shared office space that doesn't have signage and is not staffed, so the address has been hidden, as per Google's guidelines. The business is moving...

    Apple Maps using Yelp data to create new listings?

    It seems that AM is creating new listings automatically for some, not all, businesses using Yelp data. We have a client that has just moved address. I updated the address on the Yelp profile, a few weeks later a new listing on Apple Maps appears, showing the phone number from Yelp (we have a...

    Huge uptick in LSA spend and leads in the UK

    This is not a complaint, but I'd like to know if something happened behind the scenes to have this much impact. An LSA account in the UK, monthly we couldn't spend more than £50 - £90 for a handful of charged leads, suddenly jumped in June with 31 leads. No changes were made to the account at...

    Advertiser Verification Nightmare (UK)

    I've been through around 30 of these and never had one get rejected as many times. Seems like we're on our final chance and 7 days until account is paused. Warning via email is that we're in violation of business operations verification program. Looking for some guidance here / some bright...

    Just an update - around a week or 10 days after submitting the redressal form, the duplicate listing was removed. Thanks for the advice 👍
