The message about the voucher was in our Local Service Ads panel, so hopefully it applies to that too, no mention anywhere that it doesn't. We managed to get up to the £400 spend with a day to spare and the status of the voucher has now changed to *Processing" It then says it typically takes...

I think it was inevitable with the way it was being spammed

We have a £400 credit voucher if we spend £400 by a set date. All was running nicely, and we spent £320 so far Now, with less than a week to go everything has slowed down and it looks like we may not spend the £400 by the deadline. We have increased budget, increased areas, increased max...

Just to add Another one here - https://support.google.com/business/thread/273621322?hl=en looks like the spammers are adding bad reviews then trying to charge to get them removed

looks like someone else posted about it on the support forum here - https://support.google.com/business/thread/256583564/why-does-it-have-my-response-rate-so-low?hl=en Since blocking and reporting the spammers I've had 3 obviously fake bad reviews, fortunately, Google deleted them the same day...

I've just received a message and noticed at the bottom it says "How your business is doing Response rate 0% Average response time 7d Messaging may be turned off for businesses that respond to less than 90% of customers." The thing is, I respond to all messages, usually within a few hours...

Yeah, I don't bother with these things but think it's a bit naughty of Google to suggest you can improve your profile by taking out a Workspace account. Verging on false advertising in my opinion

Not that it really means a lot, but my profile strength used to show as complete and display green It has now gone brown and promting me to complete info. The only way to get back to green and complete the profile apears to sign up to a Google Workspace account. I see this as pretty dishonest...

Just to add like I say, it depends If I thought it was useful for directions, I would switch it to map mode, zoom out to the best setting for directions and then use that share link

I very rarely would but if I did it would depend on why If I was doing it for no particular reason I would use the g.page (if it had one) If not, I would probably just go to the listing on the map, zoom in so no rivals are showing, switch it to satellite, scroll around until I have the best...

That listing has a "null" where the g.page would be. Chances are that listing doesn't have a short name Short names aren't available anymore and only listings that previously set them up have them.

1st one is inspect element, 2nd is view source. save the maps place data souce file as a txt file and you can see it in there too.

I don't think the OP is asking how to find or create a link to the GBP listing, he is just asking how to find the short URL of the GBP listing. If so OP, go to the listing on maps, hover over left pane, inspect element and search for g.page Edit to add: you don't even have to inpect the...

Google Maps is effectively being controlled by 2 Google departments - The Maps team who want it to be a great mapping and information system - The marketing team who saw Maps as a great way of marketing businesses.
