It was updated the hours and accepting the edits at the same time. You can accept or reject the edits one at a time.

It wasn't that the hours were updated; it was the fact that more than one edit was made at the same time. Sometimes it can be category-specific. What is the primary category? It sounds like the suspension appeal was approved, and then the system immediately suspended the GBP. This is called a...

In order to get bulk verified, you need the following: Be listed as an owner for 1o GBPs All GBPs need to be in your dashboard All of the locations need to be listed on the website It helps if you use an address with the domain, as it can speed up the process. Google typically asks for photos...

The only way to do so would be to block Googlebot.

I only use Places Scout. I don't care for BrightLocal’s tool as the data was wrong on several occasions. I recommend that you avoid Local Viking. They offer services that don't increase rankings.

This is the new normal once a new GBP is made. You’ll need to apply for reinstatement.

Go post in the help forum and give as much detail as possible: 1. Name of the business 2. Address 3. Links to five reviews. You can find them in the new review notification emails from Google 4. Screenshots of five reviews.

There is no hard rule for how many categories you should select. For example a law firm may offer different practices of law, personal injury, criminal defence, family law, divorce, and estate. They should use all of them. Google has been increasing the crawl of website to add and update...

There is a lot to unpack here. 1. Replying to reviews, adding posts, and photos do not increase rankings. 2. I have been hearing people worry about competitors attacking businesses since Google launched Panda in 2011. 3. I have caught Ben Fisher in repeated lies, so I don't trust him. Ben has...

I have heard several stories of r slings taking once you stop using these tools or services. I’ve never heard of anyone getting suspended over it. I am extremely skeptical of any claims. It’s hard enough to get Google to removed a fake review or suspend a GBP for showing the address or some of...

There are several reasons why a name gets changed. 1. A competitor or marketing agency is changing the names 2. You have a 3rd party tool making the changes. It's your business information, but it's Google's product.

Are you tracking only the main URL or internal URLs? Both cities or the opposite sides of Rancho Cucamonga. Look at how Smile Studio Dentistry does theirs. Upland and Fontana are on two different domains. Each website specially targets the city the dental practice is located in. The websites I...
