GBP Listings Disappearing After Moving Them To GBP Manager - Any Insights?

[thelocalmarketer]

We are seeing multiple customer listings disappear, including an agency listing, after applying for and moving them over to Google Business Profile Manager. Any ideas as to why? Is there a waiting period where the listings get removed temporarily?

The listings are not showing in search or under profile manager.

Below is the reply from Google support. It's as if the listing never existed.

Greetings for the day!​

This happend to one of our clients' GBP. They have 7 locations and did not own any of their GBPs but they were claimed and verified all through former employees of the business.

We were able to gain access and ownership of all 7 locations inside the client's GBP. A month later, two locations disappeared from their GBP dashboard.

Google was able to restore them for us because they were the primary owner of the listings. Have you tried logging in to the client's GBP account that has primary ownership and providing your agency manager access again?
