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.

Validate the new GBP if it's not validated yet and work on that. There's to my knowledge, literally no way to undo a merger (there are stories floating around, but they're always about two completely different businesses)

We've had multiple complaints about that and have found no way whatsoever. If the address doesn't exist on the map with the suite number (as oppose to a normal street address with suite number on line #2), you're out of luck.

I tested contractors, electricians and plumbers and couldn't see it. Mind you, half the issue might be Google needing to find appropriate external content, which may be a lot rarer in the general area of services. However, since malls and stores of all types appear be excluded, I'm tempted to...

it's weird because it only does that sometimes. Usually if you search the business by name in the Places interface, the section will be present.

More findings! Not a differentiator: Presence of at least one video (both nelson mandela park and Chin Chow have at least one) Possible differentiator: external content. Kamthai does have one item that's from reddit, but that item does NOT mention the restaurant!! This leads to the most...

Addendum: It's showing also for gyms.

reported by Valentina Vasileva via @whitespark on LinkedIn (Link to post) So I did some investigation, and here's what I'm finding: It's mostly in the hospitality and tourism/nightlife vertical: Bars, nightclubs, museums, movie theaters, restaurants, zoos, parks, video arcades: IN Doctors...

Yeah, I don't think you'll be able to get reviews actually transferred unless a gold product experts is involved. Also, note msot of the articles talking about that are from before Google support took a drastic nosedive in usefulness and competence!
