Questions and Answers - Q&A - in Google Business Profiles - What is the current status?

[Tim Colling]

From reading a number of posts and articles, it sounds like Google is beginning to remove the Q&A feature from some Google Business Profiles. Is this happening more and more often? Has Google announced anything about removing them altogether now or in the future?

Google has not removed Q&A, but it is not visible on the Knowledge Panel (KP). However, when you view the GBP on maps, you will still see it.

Thank you!

is this a "Google has explicit stated this is a bug and they aren't removing it" thing (if so, where?) or just "Google has not confirmed anything about this"?

Those are very different things, especially when it comes to Google, who has killed GBP functions silently in the past on multiple occasions.

Amen to that!

This is one of the dumbest items Google has rolled out. I don’t see it properly being used. I’d be happy if Google killed it.

I agree with that assessment, but until we know for certain that they are killing it, we have to be aware of it and utilize it effectively.
