Honestly, when I was dealing with spam, I went manually reporting each GBPs for all the possible violations, week after week until 99% were gone. My only problem with that approach is that now I'm regularly running into that thing where clicking on the "submit" button does not do anything. I...

Can you ask Izyrank to search in a specified language? Because otherwise, it's probably design by a monolingual English speaker and searches in English. As someone who works almost exclusively With French language client, I only give minimal trust to any rank tester because I have yet to see a...

The algorithm wants what the algorithm wants. The problem is no one can tell what it wants. GBP age and review freshness probably a big part of it.

... really? have I been missing a crucial bit cause that first post clearly state "There's no pending or under-review banner anywhere." If you mean they can't afford the risk of causing a reverification, that's a completely different issue. That being said, as long as they can verify at all...

In the past, I've solved this bug putting the address back in the dashboard. If you input the EXACT SAME thing that was in originally entered (which may not be what is displayed on map!), usually there is no suspension/revalidation. When it's accepted, you can try hide the address again. Usually the

You can't control it. It shows every predefined service available from the category (or maybe all the categories. it's been a long time since I ran into this so I don,t recall), whether or not they have been actually activated in the gbp. Actually, it has a limit on how many it shows...

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?
