    Hundreds of business got 5 star reviews removed

    That's a good question. I don't know as I have experienced that. There's an API ping of some sort that updates daily for new reviews but dunno in your scenario. I'll log in and have a look tomorrow which plugin it is.

    Do's and don't of online reviews

    Hundreds of business got 5 star reviews removed

    We use a free WP plugin to display review on the website and that holds all reviews indefinitely (since 2017). We've lost a handful of hard won reviews (spam ones are still live lol) but at least have them captured in the back end for the appeals process.

    Florist ordered to pay $1 million for misleading online star ratings

    A1 Garage Door in Phoenix Increases Clicks by Listing Prices

    Florist ordered to pay $1 million for misleading online star ratings

    Now that's interesting. Last century I had a florist shop above a busy railway station, all local foot traffic sales. No internet, websites and ranking jungle to foraged through. Good for you supporting your local neighbourhood store. I bet it means a lot to them.

    Florist ordered to pay $1 million for misleading online star ratings

    Solution for Missing Google Reviews?

    Good description. We're purely B2B we don't get as many as consumer focused businesses. So it does suck. Not sure if it is worthwhile seeking out support to look into it.

    Website A vs Website B

    Many thanks for your detailed comments Elizabeth. Apologies for my tardy reply. I had thought that may have been the case but good to hear it from an expert. Low and behold, some key words have been changed and looks to be confirming that you say in this instance. The other part is that if a...
