So instead of reinstating, we have to reverify them with postcards? Wouldn't reinstating be easier? What if I add another user on my gsuite as Primary Owner?

As in reverify all of them?

Replied to some stupid chain email, ended up getting my Google account disabled, got back on, now all my GMB listings are 'Suspended' but showing live on maps. Not sure how this happened, but it must be related to my email address being temporarily disabled, and me being the primary owner of...

Re: Pressing that "update" button on WP for plugs or WP itself - how daring are you? The beauty of Wordpress :)

Re: Pressing that "update" button on WP for plugs or WP itself - how daring are you? If they don't know what they're doing post-update, whether it works or breaks something, then yeah you did the right move. I always make a backup first (All In One WP Migration or Duplicator, additionally...

I would probably have that zip mentioned somewhere where Google is reading your maps embed.

It's been a crappy experience for me today.. client just received his GMB postcard with the verification code, and right after I enter it in, the page says "Your page has been blocked since it has been identified as possible spam. To unblock your page, please verify it." Okay, so I clicked...

Question, this hasn't been confirmed by Google yet right? So would it be safe to assume they are just testing this out first? Does Google ever officially confirm these types of things? Is it possible that this can be rolled back? This seems to be nothing short of &#^%ed for SMBs and Local SEO...

I second this. None of our listings were being pushed to Yelp, until we called them and they said that Yelp "wasnt activated with your account but we just activated it and it should be good now". Cool, sync complete. Now all of my clients that we've pushed through Yext are getting solicitation...

..maybe if I sign up again for Apps it'll return. It's not even available in the Admin console. It's super weird.

Has this happened to anyone else, and how can I restore this? I can no longer access my GMB pages, or log into Google+ after deactivating Google Apps for Biz (switched to 365). Can't in Admin console, and google says I need to sign up for a service to access support. Any help is appreciated...

That's awesome. I run a small Local SEO company, independent dealers are our best & most clients we work with (8 years in the automotive business). Worked with so many vendors in the car biz, Cobalt, KPA(TK), Dealer, VinSolutions, vAuto etc. Would love to pick your brain for some insight. :)...

Very weird. Before the update, we would see the franchise dealers spammed across local SERP for "used cars" or "used car dealer" city. When the update came out a week 1/2 ago, it seemed that "used cars" now showed actual Used Car dealers, which is a sign of better relevance. Now it's back to...

Thank you guys for the advise!

I manage 8 clients. All have *had* G+ accounts with their business listing there. I've either 1) added me as an admin user or 2) Created & Verified listings off of my business gmail account. Why is this a bad idea?
