I'm just seeing two 5-star reviews on there. It says there are three, but maybe it already got removed? Either way, even though you might suspect it is a fake review, I would treat it as a legit one and respond to it accordingly. Its not the 1-star review that counts, but the way you respond to it.

If you're using WordPress maybe my Post to Google My Business plugin will work for you. In the Agency version there is no limit to the amount of locations or Google accounts you can publish posts to, and it has been battle tested by users with over 3k+ locations in a single instance.

I don't think so, it would only affect those review aggregators themselves, since the review was originally written on Google and they are "copying" it onto their website. But I would assume these services have the correct Schema in place to denote that the reviews are indexed from Google and...

Are you referring to the posts feature? I don't think you should really be looking at them from an SEO perspective. The effect on rankings is negligible, albeit slightly positive. But they do boost engagement and make your profile stand out

Maybe their AI is misidentifying that image as inappropriate. I also recall there was something in the Google Business Profile content policy about putting too much text in your post image (but I can't find it).

Yup, that's the correct address. (besides, it ends in @google.com so I don't see a reason to doubt it)

The Google Business Profile API doesn't support creating video posts (nor does it allow creating posts with more than one image unfortunately). So I don't think any services are offering a video post feature. It used to be possible back in the day but at some point they stopped supporting it

Well, I can recommend my "Post to Google My Business" WordPress plugin... but I'm sort of biased. :) The "Agency" version will let you connect multiple Google accounts to it. But it does not have an option to upload images to the GBP gallery though.

I would leave it and stick to the way Google intended it. Services as ...services. They aren't products.

You should use the accounts.locations.list for fetching the data for all the locations within the Google account, or locations.get to fetch data about a specific location. The endpoint you referenced is deprecated and (I think) it no longer works.

You can retrieve it in bulk through the Google Business Profile API. It seems to be a unique ID solely used for the review URL.

Yup that is their main email for notifications

None do as far as I know, a bit confusing indeed. You can get there by clicking an old post or "View all" in the knowledge panel:

If you click any post it will show a dialog with all of your posts, edit button is in a dropdown when you click the 3 dots: Might be a good idea to 301 redirect your old links to the new ones though? So you don't lose any SEO value.

Nope, I check from time to time if they have already implemented it without updating the API docs, and have also contacted them a bunch of times about it. Still waiting for a reply to my ticket from 7 months ago. Very annoying! Creating video posts was actually possible but they...
