Hello LSF Community and Friends!
In light of the recent blog from Google sharing that they disabled more than 600k accounts for violations in 2020 alone, I am curious if we should be changing the way we currently manage GMB listings for our clients. Our current process entails adding us as a Manager and making all edits to the clients account under our Google account.
Understanding a suspension from Google can be done at either the listing or Account level is not new to me but here I am - suddenly questioning if we are truly following best practices. I can't help but wonder Is there any advantage, besides a single sign in, to having all clients connected to our account? Would removing them and just using their accounts for access address these risks? I am not worried about what we do, but about customers making changes themselves even if we have advised them not to.
Thank you in advance for your assistance with helping me understand this.
