I definitely think you need to take this to the google community forum. This is my go to place after the 2nd appeal. This people have direct access to Google and want to help. They also include Joy. Example of happy resolution...

Crazy situation - at least get all the reviews documented. I would loom record them. Then you can have those on hand for when you try to get them back or at the very least added to one of the remaining GBPs.

I have a similar issue but my "continue" button does not work for the 1st appeal:

How did this play out? I have a similar issue I think, but we did not even get a chance to do the 1st appeal as the "continue" button is disabled. Should I just jump to the 2nd appeal? Thank you. related screenshots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JamUNW7GTh1gaVOcoi8XYwhWvRvc_ed4

With regard to citations a few questions: How do you set up a yahoo account? (Yext?) For Bing - I have been importing my GBPs. This is extremely frustrating as the Bing accounts will not publish my pictures or updates and I have to contact support EVERY time to push any changes through. Anyone...

I have never seen an SAB win a physical store. But fine, lets say exceptions exist. Why then does not everyone do a SAB instead of physical then?

@maria.mktagency - Im confused how if the first appeal was approved - how can a 2nd appeal even be made? Why was a 2nd appeal done or needed if the 1st was approved? with regard to @Professor M comment check out this link and see the response/resolution...

Was the 15 year old location was a service area business or physical location GBP? And the second location was set up as physical GBP from the start? Does the second location have staff during the posted hours? Side note - posting on the google forums can be picked and escalated (and made to...

The Shared office should be clarified. What is that? A co-working space? Thats not going to be allowed for a physical location GBP.

Related question here: are you truly cut off from getting your GBP accepted if you go through the manage appeals tool (https://support.google.com/business/?p=manage_appeals)? This is the second shot and I am seeing some places say that after this (2nd attempt) - that is it and the GBP cannot be...

@BrianSEOGuy24 - any updates here? I also think google has a twitter/x account that you can post on too that might get a response and someone to talk to: https://x.com/GoogleMyBiz

I dont think they give reasons - at least with regard to "deceptive content". That's what I got. And that is not clear IMO.

How do you evaluate the results or effectiveness of doing (different kinds of) schema? How do we measure this specifically? Traffic change to page? GBP overall rank change? Anything else? What results should we expect from doing various schemas or what to look out for?

NAP is dead? Do you have any supporting info?
