I can't really speak to why the order of the services differs between incognito and when you are signed in. As for your second question, “Why/how does Google get info for services that we are not finding anywhere on the site?” Google pulls this information from a variety of places, including...

Pretty sure this is a known issue and Google is working on it. You can add your own thread with your own experience to the GBP forum too, but not sure if it will expedite a fix. like this post https://support.google.com/s/community/forum/1081366/search/query%3Ddashboard%2Bmissing/thread/384229472

If everything is set up right that should not happen, so sounds like a bug with the real estate bulk account in particular, since its not happening with other account recently. I would reach out to bulk support and ask them why the profiles are requiring verification or pending edits in that...

You can also ask customers to edit their review slightly and see if it gets republished, I have seen that work before!

Been seeing a TON of missing review threads on the GBP community forum, not just ones from former employees! Seems to be more than normal. Since you have access to that awesome tool, can you tell us, have you been seeing more reviews removals recently compared to the past few months/year?

In the future, I would make sure to add a phone number and the opening date when you create all the profiles. Not sure if that's the reason they did not auto-verify, but it would rule that out as an issue!

Do all the accounts show up when you try this link? https://business.google.com/locations

It sounds like a possible bug with bulk verification, as I wouldn't expect any profiles added to a bulk verified account to need verification. @krystaltaing any chance you've encountered this issue too? Is it happening in all the bulk verified accounts, or just certain industries/categories...

Perfect example of when all the elements fall into place, Google video verification is secured! You need to prove these 3 elements: Current location: Capture street signs, nearby businesses, and external landmarks to confirm your address. Business operations: Display branded items, tools...

Very curious to see what this link says when you are able to check!

I have never had to restore images to a profile, so I cannot say either way how possible this is. One thought: is the user who uploaded the images still a user on the profile? I imagine that if that user is no longer on the profile, that could be why the images were not restored. Your best bet...

Ok then yes you should be fine on that front. Connecting to APIs dont influence rankings

Keep us updated!! I've seen a few instances where support tells people to create a new profile, which is of course not ideal. So you may have top push back on that to get them to restore the original profile.

Probably not. ChatGPT is only going to parrot information it learns from crawling the web, with very little (if any) insights into what will actually help your business improve visibility in Maps and search. You're better off working with a real person, or yourself, who has unique expertise and...

What has Google said when they emailed you about this? Can you share a link to the profile in question?

Have you tried another computer? or logging into another account to see if its an issue with your account?

Did you ever figure this out? If not, can you trying clicking this link when signed into that domain email? https://myaccount.google.com/restrictions?pli=1 This should give a more clear reason for why the account was disabled. Was the domain email associated with a Workspace account? Any...

Did it ever leave your account (wasnt reporting but UTMs were on the profile)?

Hey there! Still having this problem? Was the client able to solve this with Google support after the used the contact link in the verification tool? That's the best team at Google to handle this issue.

Hey there!! Better late then never?? Sounds like the user did not choose to use their domain email as the primary email for their new Google account - and so Google created a Gmail instead. This article should help explain the difference https://support.google.com/a/answer/172171?hl=en

I don't see how this would affect your rankings or ratings (do you mean star rating?) Just be mindful when you connect an API to your profile; typically they ask for permissions to be able to make edits to the profile - which could cause unwanted changes to business information.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. In my experience, it's hard to get new business listings verified at coworking spaces, especially with recorded video verification. Does the business have a separate suite number in the coworking space? This is really important to differentiate this...
