Google has reported a fix - all API partners should be able to reply to Google reviews again.

Relatively large outage on the good old "Google My Business API". We are getting "false deleted statuses" for Google reviews. I guess when the "what's new" announcements on the page are three years old, you can't be too surprised. Most clients think it is our software unfortunately, but just...

Got some big news for anyone serious about local SEO! We launched our their new Local Rank Tracker in August, and it’s a game-changer for understanding your local visibility for agencies and freelancers. No more credits needed and it works across all markets and languages. No more guessing...

@keyserholiday - thank you!!

I am looking for that screenshot, can find it. But I know someone. posted it earlier, either here or on their LinkedIn. Does anyone know where to find it?

It is also possible to edit this via the API if the "located in suggestions" do not work. Suggestion definitely the first step, if that works, it is a lot simpler.

@fisicx - could well be, but my guess is if it is not phased out soon then it will be soon.

@dale-jepto & @JoyHawkins - I am more surprised this feature is still live. It makes complete sense for Google to launch some sort of AI answering feature no? Q&A never really worked as intended from Google's POV is my guess. We can still bulk post Q&A's (via tools such as ours or directly...

@JoyHawkins - yeah it could be macro economic - people comparing more and hence calling less (but still clicking through to the website and searching). @fisicx - yeah impressions down slightly, but nothing to worry about there (low single digits - in line with the trend on actions). It is just...

@fisicx this is new to me. I can see how this could happen for call tracking on a website - but I have my doubts about user settings (in any way shape or form) impacting the information (Calls / Actions) that would come in via GBP reporting (whether UI or APIs). Can you elaborate?

@JoyHawkins - in Q2 and Q3 this trend was particularly noticable.

@fisicx - neither - it is the calls we import from the GBP profiles.

@Brian - TGL Yes more or less the same as the small y/y decline in impression (as in actions), minimal difference there in y/y trend. It is the fact that the calls are driving the decline in actions which I can't explain.

@Brian - TGL - So we are seeing slight decreases in total actions year on year in the US market (low single digit). Which we can explain through the "AI Overviews"appearance in the US (and other similar AI SERP developments). But on top of that, we are seeing calls being almost 80% of that...
