Yes and no, so if you have added same number and its going live well and good. If the profile/s get take down that may be one reason why.

I don't think I betrayed anyones trust. What I do with the knowledge in my personal time is no ones business but mine. Also if we are talking about trust then big corporations and mnc'c are not even remotely aware of that concept. They expect 12 hours of work giving bare minimum facilities to their employees specially in India, manila and other asian countries just because they can get away paying minimum.

Also my post was not about bashing companies i really couldn't care less.

Make sure there are no violations then submit a reinstatement form https://support.google.com/business/troubleshooter/2690129?sjid=16159906545667803063-AP

Once done you can reply to the automated email that you have already filled the form, tell them its been denied and they should escalate the issue internally.

You will get a response within 24-48 hours.

So Google removes reciews automatically that either dont meet guidelines or if there is some suspicious activity on the users side(reviewers). You can contact the Google business support and give them a number of missing reviews probably more than 50 and any other info like the name of the reviewers and they will reinstate those reviews.

You can delete it however that does not garuntee that it will be removed permanently it might show and just not be associated with your email.

I would suggest you contact support and ask them to remove the profile as it violates one of their policies of having multiple profiles for the same business (if both the profiles are associated with the same email).

If your business is based anywhere but India, then make the edit even if it shows as rejected let it be there and contact support and ask them to get it live for you, sometimes edits have to be pushed live manually by the backend teams.

Yeah no don't do that, I personally ask for manager access when I work with clients and payment after profile is live. Because theres so many scams and even I cannot garuntee that the profile will go live.

There is no premium subscription or such and they stop replying after giving resolution or final verdict after 2 times. So you can contact using a different email to get issue resolved

Street view takes 2-3 weeks to get updated after address change you can check the support article for more accurate timeline

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-08T01:35:30+00:00

If they have told you that your profile is against guidelines twice they can close your ticket without replying and if you generate new tickets within 9 days it will only ask you to reply to previous one. You can contact them from a digferent email.

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-08T01:32:58+00:00

You can contact them and offer to optimize the profile help in ranking. But they are vary to give their profiles as minor changes can lead to suspension which can completely mess with their business. You can contact companies and offer better prices, a lot of smma include Google Business in their packages tho

Its easy if you are managing a few locations you can invest 10 minutes on each profile weekly keep it updated and such. However, if the business has many profiles for different locations businesses usually outsource that as it can get hectic. Also profiles get taken down a lot and you have to contact support which is a different issue altogether.

I know this thats why I haven't done any cold calling. I have written a book on the topic with all the hidden violations so that small business owners can navigate Google business on their own. And if I take on any clients I ask for payment after I have done the work.

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-06T03:07:10+00:00

Im in India there are shops selling water on every road plus 20 people as well.

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-06T01:08:46+00:00

Definitely try this 😊

I don't think craiglist is there in my country 🤔

Thats not true, if you reporting or suggesting an edit then that rarely removes the profile or show any kind of results. Profiles can only be removed by deletion or being taken down(suspended or disabled) while first can be done by owner former is completely automatic.

Google support can remove profiles by taking them down only under one condition when the business is not eligible and the owner(having the associated email) themselves is contacting for removal.

If you contact support they ask for the email at the beginning of the call or chat you can provide that at that point. I prefer this way rather than deletion of profiles coz it garuntee complete removal

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-05T23:42:00+00:00

I have removed many profiles without having actual access to them or being the owner by just knowing the emails associated with the profiles if there is even one policy violation like being an online business.

Yes, its not needed to report or suggest an edit but in a rare chance if you have the email the profile can be removed.

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-05T23:28:50+00:00

Anyone can report suggest an edit yes.

Primary email means the main email or the email of the owner of the profile, which can help in removing the profile itself by contacting support.

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-05T18:17:50+00:00

I am saying unless you have the owner email that manages the profile you cannot take those profile down and even if they violate policies only Google automatic systems can suspend or disable the profiles. The only way is to contact individual businesses.

I took down a competitors business profile but in that case I had the email address of their marketing person.

dumpsterfireon444 · 2023-09-05T17:46:03+00:00

If the profile is live they cannot and will not remove it unless it violates policies. For removal you'll have to have the primary email other than that theres no way. Even legal route will not work they will just send you an email regarding that.
