But the real questions is - Is trying to get deleted reviews back worth spending time on - or just gotta keep getting more reviews to make up the difference? And asking NOT just for this example but for all clients or anyone in general. Odds of home services company calling old clients to...

I can see that on the H2O one. Maybe they wrote it right after a reporting call? But nope, these were all written by clients themselves.

Apologize for the length - but wanted to give details: Has anyone had success getting legit reviews that are deleted restored? **Main Question - Is this even worth spending time on - or just gotta keep getting more reviews to make up the difference? ----- Tried submitting here (with...

Client has an established hvac company and is starting a new roofing company (different name/brand, logo, phone, website, etc, etc.) - wants to run the roofing company out of the same building/address - it's a completely separate "office" but same building. Tried video verification for the...

I've asked LV support about this before - this was their response - https://static.md/2e21fdead2d80f7106be9981939b3d2e.png We've started getting these every day for different clients recently. Every time we check the GBP - the reviews are still there.

@whitespark - or anyone else - Have you ever seen/had experience with this happening before? Where a business switches from an address showing to service area (SAB - address hidden) - and the rankings are now from the center of the service area as opposed to the verified location/address...

Wouldn't that erase all the age of the GBP? Or no?

Day 2 - still the same?

Day 1: New GBP service area - https://static.md/875d4ada3aba7ee7ab3bfb5012a6512a.png Grid set on center of new GBP service area - https://static.md/f9ceca9083b12796127ce5d00794a63e.png Still ranking at original center of service area - https://static.md/9f90578f38348009cad614cbc5a8b264.png

Service area was changed from - Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Jurupa Valley, CA - to just - Riverside, CA, San Bernardino, CA, Jurupa Valley, CA (pretty small area overall). Edits still pending in GBP dashboard? But I’ll check and re-run the grids over next couple days and see what...

1. No 2. Yes Setting smaller service area to test was my next thought/step. Will try and report back. Thanks!

The address that "was" showing (where the google icon is on the screenshot) has never changes since they originally verified the listing several years ago.

It was reverified (suspension removed on 11/5/2025) - and actually then the address was put back by Google. Then later Google removed it (on 11/18/25). Pretty confusing since 2 things that are against guidelines (address showing and business name) were put back as they were (after suspension was...

Recently client who had address showing (for a long time so we left it when they became a client) on GBP was suspended. So had to change to hide the address (make SAB) and successfully appealed the suspension. - https://share.google/CrdaDL7FuCKfjFNCT Yes, it also has keywords in the business...

On desktop you get an option to use an existing email address for the Google account. - https://static.md/0325143395c51572dd0bf59a7fdc571d.png But I just tested on mobile and doesn't look like it gives you that option? We are just using regular Gmails. So not sure of any additional workarounds...
