They must have a warehouse, though, for their inventory, right? Is there any opportunity for them to have signage at the warehouse location and use that as a physical address? Most event rental companies I have worked with do have a physical address. If the competitor they want to overtake...

Thank you very much for taking the time to look and do these test searches! I really appreciate it! Now to do research on what to actually do about this...

I have a florist client who has been really stuck with visibility in Google maps/places. Despite there only being a few florists in her small town, her business doesn't appear on the map at all in certain searches. I am starting to wonder if it's a filtering issue-- she has a top-ranking...

This is awesome-- appreciate you sharing!

I'm curious what action ultimately led to the reinstatement? A human review of the support case? GBP Help Community post?

Thank you so much for the reply, @Claudia ! I did some digging for the links, so for anyone following along who'd like to read more...

Tons of clients are sending me concerned messages about Google changing their review policies (the "Google is changing everything!!" Instagram Reels about it are wild) I haven't seen much chatter about it here. Has anyone seen a significant spike in Google Review removals in the last couple of...

@Conor Treacy I hope you'll keep us updated on what happens!! Such an interesting situation to follow, since it sounds like you're doing this very thoughtfully. I'd love to know if your site's rankings are affected as a whole. As an aside, have you thought about having these deleted URLs use...

Thanks for your follow up @ElizabethRule and thank you for all the details on your situation @Cordell Crowley We did manage to get the new website URL approved on GBP, so that's a great win. Unfortunately... Google still seems to be suppressing visibility of the website and now the GBP...

Tried the edit again today, and the new website was 'not approved' almost instantly. Not resolved :/

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Absolutely. Here is the forum post @keyserholiday . Thank you! https://support.google.com/business/thread/345078813/can-t-change-website-url-not-an-official-website

Thanks for sharing that Reddit thread. Glad to know it's not just us. Unfortunately, I did post in the help forum, but the answer was basically that the website isn't properly indexed (which I agree seems to be a problem but don't understand why it's happening when everything looks fine in...
