Best to just make an appointment with a google rep and get verified on the live video call.

can you provide more examples of this?

re: AEO... search the major LLMs for things where Tyou think you should be mentioned in the answers. then ask the LLMs how did they decide that list. Do that a bunch of times. Then do what it says

Hey YuliaK, I ran into this old thread and curious, did your ranking pop back after 2 or 3 weeks? I'm wondering if the 2/3 week suspension delay still exists.

Couldn't that just be related to seasonality?

are these all home services ? or any of them completely unrelated to home services or SABs

Verification "issues", Suspensions, and ranking drops are very different things. You're going to need 3 distinct lists. Are you mainly concerned about suspensions?

It wont help your GBP ranking. Might rank your site on page 1 for local though, but many people dont scroll past the local pack anyway

I ignore bing as well. Not worth it unless you're in a category with VERY HIGH search volume.

Why would there be a black mark connected to your name?

I wonder if verification is somehow a trust factor with google maps that causes them to rank you higher. Just brainstorming why your colleague would come to this conclusion.

Is it possible that the checkmark increases CTR which over time increases ranking?

crazy. take me back to the early 2000s !!

I agree. but impact on Rankings?
