anyone know how products in GMB panels are attributed as a channel? Are they organic?

A client has been getting emails about users asking questions on the listing, but the "answer" link in the email just takes them to the SERP with their brand panel and in the panel there is no Q&A section? What to do? Is this a category we have that is blocking the feature from showing? thanks!!

Hi Ben, Any news on my account from your contact? Thanks!!

For a specific suspension of for my organizations account?

@Ben, let's say my organization account has been shadow flagged for higher sensitivity. What will end it? Do we not update sensitive areas? Not update as often? Or say f-it and just work with reinstatements every time and hope we don't get a hard suspension some time.

Twice now we've been asked to re-verify locations and we put the code in and are immediately suspended again. WTF is going on with GMB?

Very interesting, thanks Rich!

Thanks Ben! The business's are wide ranging, from law firms, to energy, to music stores. I see your article in your signature, bookmarking that! Looking forward to any update to that article, thanks!

Remove skype and add linkedin for profile?

I've always been a hawk for redirecting (legitimately) broken backlinks, but lately I can't in fact see any measurable impact. I've had a few large clients in 2020 where we restored hundreds of broken backlinks, many dozen well known media sites with 70+ DA according to ahrefs. Where do you all...

If used according to Google's structured data guidelines you should be fine. I just had a client that used Schema Pro and it didn't work with their theme so I removed it and manually added the schema.

This is suspicious. I have a dozen sites with Cloudflare, some www some non-www. It doesn't matter. Dig into this more with their support. As Carrie said, with site wide redirects it's plausible to expect a minor dip as Google re-evaluates your site, but it should snap back to previous level.

My organization is having issues with listings being suspended for "suspicious activity" at an alarming rate. Completely legitimate changes to the listing now feels like an automatic suspension. Has there been a change in how sensitive the flagging is? 100% of our listings get reinstated within...

That worked, thanks!

US, I'll try uninstalling and reinstall. thanks!!
