If you have seen that your local business listing on Google is showing less reviews, then you are not alone. Since Friday, ton reviews have disappeared from the local listing within the Google search and Google map.
More information. On Friday, I reported on this issue Search engine round tableDo not know if it was a bug or a feature. I saw that dozens and dozens of complaints popping in threads Google Business Profile Forum From the concerned small businesses and local SEOs.
Some businesses say they only lose some reviews, while others say they lose dozens of positive reviews.
Some say that the counting of reviews is not adding and the reviews themselves are not missing.
Probably a bug. Joy Hawkins, a local SEO and Google top contributor, later Said It is a bug that is working to fix Google.
Why do we care? If you saw that you have lost a lot of reviews on your local listing, you should know that you are not alone. This is affecting many Google business profile listing and hopefully Google will soon restore those reviews.
Google has not commented on the issue.
