Interesting article, @GMBapi.com, and good to know you track reviews history. That's a keen feature! @petercanthropus, GatherUp currently offers the ability to download a CSV or PDF of all reviews AND review responses (the responses can be critically useful when Google restores reviews, yet not...

Without scientific measurement, in the last week or so we've noticed an increase in unassisted review removals for US- & Canada-based towing businesses. The pattern we've seen is they tend to have language ripe for indicating a policy violation. For instance, "my wife" or "don't work" or...

If you've been responding to those missing reviews, look for the responses if/when the reviews return. We have a case right now where the reviews returned, and we didn't notice the responses were still missing until a few months later--making it a big struggle to attempt a recovery. I'm afraid...

I don't remember a time when you could "delete" questions. You can "report" them (using the three-dot options menu to the right of the question) as off-topic, no longer applies, advertising/spam, hate/violent/inappropriate, incorrect information, legal issue, something else and await Google's...

If you end up creating pages, I've found the information in this Ahref article and this Sterling Sky article to be supremely helpful as well as this Local Search Forum post on title tags, meta descriptions & the like.

Will you please share your process for getting the live video option? We've not seen such a thing and have not been successful when asking for it. (We work exclusively with towing companies, so maybe that industry is excluded.)

I recommend consulting this thread which includes input from Joy Hawkins to not move the pin back in the dashboard...move it back with a different account using "suggest an edit" so that you don't trigger a suspension on the listing.

@brianwildman answers some of your questions in this thread. This arhefs blog article is also a good resource to consult, as is this Sterling Sky article + answers to comments.

Yuck. Check out this thread.

I've not see this, yet it makes me think of Darren's post from last week.

While they offer (& charge for!) a *lot* more than a Q&A report, GatherUp has such a thing. Here's a page from their user guide with details & a few pictures.

That sounds frustrating b/c you're doing so many things correctly! I would scour this thorough video & request the checklist from Darren to ensure you cannot improve upon some other technicality or possibly get your video to compress to a smaller size. If that doesn't yield anything new, could...

You're keen to ask this question out loud. Our agency works exclusively in one industry, and yet we continue to ask & answer this question differently depending on the nature of each business service offering & market. Does thinking about how the majority of people shop/search for the end...

That stinks. While I'm not currently awaiting an invitation to confirm this will work, in the past I have found & accepted missing invitations from this page. Hope this does the trick! https://myaccount.google.com/brandaccounts?pli=1

I agree with Jeff. If you want to follow the guidelines for setting up hybrid businesses (serves customers at the business address and also directly visits or delivers to customers) to the letter, you might also consider assigning separate service areas to each location. If the different...
