Increase since Oct 17th in suspended Google Posts?

[LakewoodSEO]

We are noticing an increase in our clients google posts being suspended. Started around the 17th of Oct and has continued. We do automate our posts but we use unique content each time. We rotate through 20 unique images of the client's property. Any idea what happened around the 17 to see such a huge spike in issues? Thanks in advance for your help.

I haven't seen an uptick. Are all the clients in the same industry?

Good to know. Yes, they are all multifamily properties. The team has been going through and looking for issues / oddities and some have been found but none that seem to be overall impacting things across the board.

Isn't that around the time people noticed a sudden uptick in employee review being detected? Maybe google updated some of its other secondary algorithms around that time?

I know some of the things that Google will block are counterintuitive. e.g. you can't make a post with a sequence of 10 digits because it will be detected as a phone number (we run into this a lot because in quebec contractors are required to mention their license number on social media... and it's a 10-digit number!). Words like "urine" (we ran into this for pest control posts about rodents) or breasts (i.e. "breast augmentation"). Maybe some adjustments to the image algorithm suddenly caused the images to be rejected?

In my experience, the only way to even TRY to guess what's wrong is extensive testing.
