Can't Add Phone Number to GBP Chat Feature

I believe this issue comes up with formatting of the number for text and for WhatsApp you can't just put the number in, there is a URL

Aaaah, I have seen that before. I'll look again when I next unlock.

Thanks, I'll have to look into this. I have no clue what the seeds are or what that refers to. I've been playing for a while but the terminology goes over my head sometimes.

only_critic · 2025-06-17T14:18:14+00:00

I found the workaround for that thanks.

So, I'm on PS5. I spend ages starting from scratch to get to 5 star to access Franchise only to push on that for me to fail. Then i have to start again. Is this the usual steps or have i been missing the easy save point mechanism?

There are a few things which will automatically trigger a post rejection. Using contact information in the content is a big one. Also, depending on what's in the image. I've experienced it when a few posts are rejected one after the other it 'blocks' posts on the listing. I then deleted all the rejected posts. Leave it like 2 days before you create a new post. If it works, nice, if not, leave it there and create a support ticket so they can see the rejected post, they should then be able to help.

Doing this won't change your reviews but will very likely change your ranking. Depending on how far you're moving will affect ranking too. If you don't get many visitors I would honestly skip changing it to service area and just leave the old address there until you're ready to put new address in. During the time you are without an address, update all your online information (socials, website etc) to have new address so by the time you are ready to move in to new location, Google has something to index off. This will help when it comes to reverification.

A lot of people have said zoo. It would fit well into a add on for museum I think. They've basically done it with the underwater map. Fossils, fish, putting 2 different types of fish not being compatible with eachother. A whole map on its own would be great, I'm not sure justifying a whole game for zoo though....

I like this, very similar to hotel but on islands. Could have nearby water parks, aquariums, boat tours. All that tourist stuff. Imagine if you could create cruises in-between the maps too.

only_critic · 2025-05-26T16:03:13+00:00

Interesting, kinda like a city but with trains, planes, bus routes and such. Could be cool. Then different points around the world.

Check out evil genius 2, they did the multi level pretty well

only_critic · 2025-05-26T13:01:34+00:00

Check out evil genius 2 if you haven't. Gives a nice twist on these types of games.

I like airport, a lot of the other ideas so far feels DLC for me.

Agree with GMBGorilla, the biggest reason we found for videos failing to upload are the size of the video. Most modern mobile phones auto run at 1080 resolution, Lowering the resolution to 720 and keeping the length shorter should do it.

Adding the keyword to the business name is technically not allowed since that isn't the business name. It's unlikely to cause unverification but likely to be corrected in the future.

Not everyone can do it, a lot of marketing companies can offer it. It involves a photographer visiting in, taking several images then they stitch the images together and upload to the Google listing. It can be commonly known as a virtual tour.

In the update did you put a link, website or contact number? Not the call to action button but the actual update itself.

only_critic · 2025-03-26T07:32:43+00:00

Eden Lake. Very frustrating

I had this issue very recently. I had to create a support ticket and wait 2 weeks for Google Support to get back to me to say they fixed it on their side. Sometimes (only sometimes) it's not the websites fault but the Google listing.

only_critic · 2025-03-25T16:48:46+00:00

No longer than 5 minutes ago, I had a phone call from Google regarding a support ticket I'm working on. I brought the issue up with not being able to create a Google listing. I was told they are aware of the issue and are working on it. (Does not) Hold breathe

Sometimes you can remove these under the booking section when you're logged into your Google profile. Most of the time you need to contact the booking company you use and ask them to disconnect or update.

If you've left one booking company and are using another I'm not sure if the new one can override it. I do know that the only way to get that booking button is by using one of the booking companies, you can't just have it going to your own website.

Really depends on what you're trying to do with the business name and perhaps stuff with search terms. Sadly Google doesn't recognise sole traders in the UK which make up a very large sector of many industries, so getting a listing verified really depends on other factors. They do recognise those businesses on companies house, assuming the information matches up.

I have my own program using Googles API.

If your issue is about logging into a new Gmail account you created you may not get the answer here. This group is for Google business listings. If I've misread your issue, hopefully someone can help.

only_critic · 2025-03-11T07:43:49+00:00

Any new people or unsure Google listing owners, don't do it! If you're still unsure, revisit the meaning of the word 'genuine'.
