Ya, it's been messy since late January, from what I've seen, really hoping it's all testing and nothing concrete.

Agreed and agreed! I'm seeing some really ridiculous stuff for sure. I hope it calms down soon!!

Ya, Semrush's sensor is still going nuts! Things are shifting on the daily. That is an interesting finding!

I have seen her, Barry, and Glenn all posting more about it! Glenn thinks it's a review update? And I saw Lily post more research on listicles being targeted (finally!) On the flipside, sites I've seen drop don't have anything like that they've mentioned, but instead the self-serving listicles...

Replying to this even though its old - are you seeing anything currently Joy? The Semrush sensor has been climbing on the daily but not a peep from Google

Sorry Jason just seeing this! It's been turbulent everyday since I posted, and today's Semsrush sensor is in "Googlequake" territory, and has been climbing for the past week. Impressions in GSC down as well. Site has no manual actions, no recent redesigns (just a logo change), and nothing (to...

Ha! Hi Barry, I've been replying to your posts on Mastodon about it :)

I know Barry has posted about it, and Semrush's senor seems to be picking up on stuff, but I have noticed some really odd drops in the past two days for rankings, and odd choices (ex: blog posts from 2023) knocking more recent sites down. Anyone else?

Two came back after one appeal, but the third listing (which was one that was over 10 years old) took a month of back and forth for things, but we did get it back just last week! It took 4 appeals in total. Sadly no explanation. We did discover that the owner of that profile was an old personal...

Thanks Jason! It sure if stinky out there. There was also another listing suspended, then successfully appealed (and is now live again) that still shows as suspended in our dashboard. So wonky stuff going on over there for sure. Never a dull day in local search!!

Ah, my bad! Just edited my post to remove the link. But yes. That was where we submitted the second appeal that was denied.

Hi, We had a listing suspended for “content violation” with no other explanation. We've submitted countless items of evidence, but believe we have a tricky DBA situation because most documents (lease, utilities) are under the holding company/LLC set up by our CEO. However, we did include the...

Figures. Thanks Jason!
