Are Your Google Reviews Missing? Here What To Do About It

Google Business Profiles (GBPs) play a pivotal role in serving as a platform for customers to leave reviews and share their experiences. 

However, some users have recently encountered issues with their online Google reviews, like reviews not going live or getting removed. If you have been in the same situation and have no clue what's going on, you are not alone. 

A Better Understanding of Ongoing Issues

So, multiple people have been claiming that their Google reviews just disappear or don't show up even after they try a bunch of times. 

Imagine this - there were 460 reviews and you had a solid 4.6 rating. But out of nowhere, the rating took a nosedive to 4.1, and the number of reviews went down to 310. Crazy, right? (As shown in the picture below.) It is cause for concern.

Of course, being a businessman who relies solely on Google Business Profiles for your business can be frustrating.

It's important to note that these challenges are not isolated incidents but appear to be part of a broader pattern affecting GBP users.

So, What Could Be The Possible Reason?

This happens when Google updates its algorithms to make things better for users and businesses. So basically, Google's Core and Review update implemented modifications to the review policies, which affect the visibility of your reviews on your Google Business Profile.

It might be a hassle for you, but it just shows that Google is always working to make its platform even better.
