Google is testing promoting the Google Maps app in the desktop interface of Google Maps.
It seems the Google Search local feature that showed Questions and answers on local panels is no longer working for most businesses. I know Google disabled them in India, but they worked fine everywhere else.
Google confirmed it is fixing a bug where old, fake and previously removed reviews are resurfacing in your Google Business Profiles. It is unclear how many Business Profiles are impacted by this, but if you see more reviews pop up that were not previously there, this may be why.
Google Business Profile edits may have a bug or some sort of glitch. A number of local SEOs are reporting seeing the message, “Your edit was not approved” when trying to make simple edits to Business Profiles.
We’ve seen the clipable coupons within the search results for several years now and in store listings and many places, but have we seen them in local knowledge panels? Maybe, I am not sure.
Google announced a number of features across Google Search, Maps, Lens and other areas around travel and vacation planning. Some of the features were already out there but let’s recap some of the more interesting features.
Google seems to be working through the Google Business Profile support, reinstatement, and suspension appeal requests. As we reported twice already, once back in mid-February and then again earlier this week, Google confirmed the delay.
Google is testing a new quick view button/link within the Google Search results for hotel and lodging results. When you click on the quick view button you are taken to the Google Business Profile listing but when you click on the main result you are taken to the website directly (or maybe the other way, I cannot tell for sure).
There are tons of complaints in the Google Business Profile Help Forums about a bug during the setup process of a Google Business Profile. When you get to the screen about adding your phone number and website address, the next button won’t take you to the next screen – it just won’t let you go to the next step.
Last week, Google sent out a bulk load of reverification requests to Google Business Profiles. Well, according to Google’s Rick Saxe, it was a bug and the bug should be fixed as of the past day or so.
