Review Removal

[ehoobler]

I have a client listing that received a review prior to their location even opening. The review has been flagged with no resolution, I've attempted to use Google's review management tool and no communication was received and no action taken, and I've opened a ticket with support. Support advised that the review would not be taken down as it doesn't violate their guidelines. Their response also advised to appeal through their review management tool, but when I tried to use that, it just took me back to flagging the review for removal.

The client has documentation on when they opened, showing that the review can't be legitimate as it was left two months prior to operations. Is there anything else that can be done to have this reviewed further?

You should have a case number at this point?

You will need to escalate this to the GBP forum and have a product expert escalate the case.

How did you get a hold of support via a ticket. Having same issue but when I attempted to reach out I got the canned Google response that says basically I cant reply to the email so its basically a dead email. I am trying to figure a way how to reach out to them so I can be connected to someone.
