It looks to be #3 in my case, but some of the reviews are coming back.

I specifically checked my locations with lower reviews (under 50) and the reviews are definitely removed from public view. Also, logging directly into the GBP admin, the number of reviews in the summary shows the total including the removed reviews, but doesn't actually show any of the removed...

I just had 20 "new" reviews show up for the original restaurant location dated 2015 through 2025 as well as 2 "new" images dated 2024 . . . that at least gives a little hope that something is being adjusted and things may settle down a bit.

I had some deleted Sunday also, but with multiple removals I have 7 locations, two locations with multiple removals on each day. The restaurant has about 1,000 reviews and most of them were previous to the last 6 months so it won't have much of an affect for the location, but a couple of the...

I have seen another day of reviews being deleted/hidden as reported by Local Viking all within about the last 30 minutes, but instead of being single reviews many are multiple reviews, with the highest being 76 deleted reviews for a restaurant location . . . all over the last 4 years, and a mix...
