wow, talk about google's habit of using confusing terminology. I believe I saw posts about that a while ago. IIRC, it's intended as a replacement for the stupid card carousel.

No he means that instead of going back to the base status of a verified GBP that can be managed, it goes to "verification required" status. Present in maps, but requiring verification without being actively suspended.

OH. Wow. you mean deleted-deleted? We've run into deletions before (from uninformed account closure and some API disconnects) so we knew those don't generate emails, but I had no idea deleting a folder deletes the GBPs.

Okay, so at first I thought what was happened was the client deleting a folder in their account, but that shouldn't remove already granted access to the GBPs. And indeed, that's not what you meant, right @keyserholiday ? You're actually talking about access management to folders via an agency...

Huh, Interesting. We've never ran into that situation at my agency. so I'll have to pass on the information.

Which is incorrect. Didn't Nearmedia study this and found that people are surprisingly more likely to look even beyond results 1-20, especially for YMYL queries? Mind you, it might have been done (I'd need to track down the study to be sure, assuming it's still online) during that time when the...

The thread title seems misleading to me. I think it's not so much the loss of access (about which you are certainly correct) that's confusing them as the lack of any email warning.

I seem to recall emails are not sent to managers, only owner?

So just to check: no one has reported being suspended specifically for that reason. People are only reporting that Google refuse to validate the profiles?

That is a bad idea. The age/trust of the agency/user account is a signficant factor, and it blew up in our face when we tried to do something similar (for different reasons). the rate of suspensions and revalidations for newly created GBPs skyrocketed. I can't imagine it helping you in this...

I mean, not always (in theory... Like, I actually tried to find an example WITH more than 20 results and literally couldn't!), but i am seeing a MASSIVE uptick of queries where clicking on "more results" never shows more than one page, and these are queries for sizeable cities (Including...

I was saying that to my coworkers. The agency's business model should really not impact on the Realtors capacity to get verified. They do not, in their interactions with clients, operate that much differently than other realtors, I assume. Funnily, in Quebec, eXp is still forced to operate...

We have two amongst our clients, and we haven't seen anything, but it's Quebec, so take that with a grain of salt.

Theory: the calls are not done simultaneously. If the AI runs out of the time it's allotted itself/been allotted to do the calls, it stops there, and lumps call not made with unanswered ones. I've seen similar behavior before, it's not the system, it's the result handling between "no response"...

I had a similar problem recently (link) and and one could help, I'm afraid.
