    Why are my replies to Google reviews disappearing and not saving on my clients' Google Business Profiles?

    I'm using the client's account directly, but the issue occurs whether I'm logged in using their account or using my own account (as a manager of their listing through my own account).

    Why are my replies to Google reviews disappearing and not saving on my clients' Google Business Profiles?

    I found a work around. I have to leave one reply and then close down the pop up window of the reviews. Then I can click back on the reviews and reply to one more. Then I have to close the window, etc. But I can only leave 3-3 reviews before the reviews link stops working. Then I have to just let...

    Why are my replies to Google reviews disappearing and not saving on my clients' Google Business Profiles?

    I have access to my clients' Google Business Profiles so once a week I work with my clients to respond to any Google reviews they receive. I noticed that none of the replies I have left over the past couple of months have saved. Then today I replied to 6 Google reviews for one client and none of...

    Since When Does Google Require Video Verification? What happened to postcards?

    Thanks for the info everyone! It took my client 3 attempts but finally the third video "stuck" as he was able to get verified. He doesn't know what he did differently because he said he thought he basically shot the same video all three times. Travis

    Since When Does Google Require Video Verification? What happened to postcards?

    It's been a long time since I've had to help a brand new business get off the ground online so I haven't had to deal with a new Google Business Profile in a few years. I just assumed it was the usual post card verification process, but my client informed me that Google is requiring a video from...

    Hard Suspension of GMB Listing: Multiple Businesses at Same Address?

    Joy - do you know how long it typically takes to get a response from Google after the reinstatement form is submitted? I just submitted it today so I'm curious how long it might be before we hear anything. Travis

    Hard Suspension of GMB Listing: Multiple Businesses at Same Address?

    My client has two businesses that share the same office/building location, which the owner owns. It's an office building with a large secured "yard" where all of this trucks are stored. One business is a repossession company and the other one is an auto transport company that ships cars for...

    Newbie to GMB Suspended Listing - What Do I Do Now?

    I've never had to deal with a suspended listing but a new client I just took on had their GMB listing suspended and neither one of us can make heads or tails of what he did. His listing has been in good standing for 5+ years (pest control service). Of course now he's upset with me because he...

    Using Home Address for GMB and UPS Address for Citations??

    For now I have added the UPS mailing address as an image. Thanks for the reminder, @Brian. I did that for a client a long time ago and completely forgot about it. Fortunately, the client was o.k. just having the "image address" on the contact page. He didn't insist we put it in the footer or...
