Oh man, I'm sorry! However, when I was going to look at the GBPs, they were already gone lol

It looks like your reports did work. The listings are gone :)

Are you calling from UK? Have you tried using the exit code? You should dial the following: 00 1 (877) 767-9357 It works for me from another country.

I see the imperative need to hire a review software, is there one that alerts when a review disappears? I would really appreciate your recommendations. Backing up manually is laborious, considering that a GBP can have thousands of reviews.

Probably yes. It also depends on the level of trust your profile has. Just make sure you set your personal account as a local guide and contribute in places you've been and then in your local area, that way, you convey trust to your edits. That's what I think, maybe I'm wrong, I'm not an...

Awesome, thanks for your input, this will definitely save me hours of work!

Hi everyone, I'm curious about the best practices for uploading photos to Yelp business profiles. Specifically: 1. Does Yelp read or use the metadata embedded in photos when they are uploaded? 2. Is it worth the effort to geotag photos before uploading them to enhance their performance or...

This is common with new GBPs. Is yours new? Google might not fully trust it yet. You have two options: 1. Contact Google Support, but they will most likely ask you to reverify the profile. 2. Suggest an edit using another account, ideally one belonging to a Local Guide, as their suggestions...

Yes, I have suggested that the business does not exist there as a Local Guide. However, your thread in the community has probably helped. My edits are usually not immediately approved. Glad to have contributed!
