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...

@Tim Colling - it is confirmed: https://developers.google.com/my-business/content/qanda/change-log

@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...

We are seeing a lot of usage on our newly launched Geo Grid functionality. Simpler than most competitor offerings (in our style), but free of charge, and we monitor all competitors profiles over time (between scans). We are also adding "Local LLM" monitoring in the next few weeks.

We are seeing it across client accounts - US listings. Calls in particular.

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing a slow but steady decline of incoming calls from GBPs?

I was part of the team that launched DDA in EMEA. It is definately not only applied to paid channels. Having said that, I am pretty sure the DDA model favours paid (Google owned) channels - but the GA attribution is at least assigning some value to the non paid channels. When I was still into...
