I've heard that sending it from the business group can help, but that didn't work for me. What finally worked yesterday with a client was repeating the process from the individual listing instead. I canceled the pending invite, resent it from the individual listing, and repeated that about...

I've actually seen a few cases exactly like this myself. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get any of them reinstated, and from what I've seen in the Google Business Profile and LSA communities, many other experienced specialists have had the same experience. Once Google's system flags an...

I think Chris is right. It is definitely the number of reviews. I honestly feel like that makes up 90% of the algorithm. I have personal injury clients with max bids that still can’t get calls because the bigger firms are covering the entire state and have over 3,000 reviews.

What industry is the client in, and which market are they in?

No problem! I haven’t found a solution yet. From Google’s perspective, it makes sense. They don’t want advertisers running ads if calls are not being answered consistently.

I’ve set up and managed 300+ LSA accounts and have never run into this issue before either. We recently had one account flagged for this, and everything is fully verified in both the LSA dashboard and Google Ads. The client only has one account and had never run any type of Google Ads prior to...

I am having the same issues for one of my accounts that has access to around 40 listings.

If you are able to provide the business name/address, I can try to see if I can find anything. Let me know.

It’s hard to say exactly what’s causing the issue without knowing the business name or website, but a few things usually help: Provide a lease agreement or deed showing the business name and address — Google tends to give that more weight than utility bills. Make sure your name, address, and...

In that case, I would recommend starting another ticket as soon as possible. Sometimes it's just a matter of luck, as it really depends on which agent you get.

Are you sure they have not responded back to you? Google typically marks the listing you are getting rid of as closed or duplicate, which is a normal part of their consolidation method. Also, have any of the reviews transferred over to the active listing? From experience, the review transfer...

Getting the same thing. Do any of you use Brightlocal? I have a master disavow list if anyone would like to use it. Just DM me. Here are the ones hitting my sites: domain:uplinke-guest-niche.za.com domain:uplinke-ai-automation.za.com domain:uplinke-da-dr-tf-enhancement.za.com...

You can't just delete it but you can try disputing it here: https://support.google.com/business/?hl=en#topic=4596754

Same as Chris. I don't think you can. You can try contacting Google support.

I wouldn't recommend creating a new page. Instead, you might consider incorporating the information into an existing page that is already optimized for that specific city.
