Agree with this. It's a better option than running into trouble by reaching out to unknown sources.

That is a sophisticated stack. Are you seeing anything like Not Publicly Visible status immediately, or is it failing at the manual review stage after you submit the Utility Bill screenshots?

I'm also interested in this. Video verification has become such a bottleneck lately. Has anyone successfully discovered any alternatives recently ?

Thank you Please DM me

It’s happening across several aged accounts on different local listings. I'm suspecting a new text-pattern filter. Are your campaigns using short natural text or long, keyword-dense descriptions?

True, Spam is definitely the safer bet for bulk accounts. Thanks !!

Spot on. The 'Account Pattern' seems to trigger the filter way faster than the category choice. Have you seen better success rates using the 'Manage your reviews' tool for appeals versus standard flagging?

It's still very viable in the UK if you focus on a specific niche. Have you considered offering GMB optimization as your entry-level service to get your foot in the door?

Great list! Regarding point 4, do you think GMB updates actually help with ranking in the Local Pack, or do they just improve the conversion rate once a user finds the listing?

I guess most of the removal tools are getting filtered now. Were the services you tried using generic spam flagging or did they claim to have any other legal or internal route?

Agreed. The 'permanent' factor seems to be the biggest hurdle right now. Do you find that handwritten signs are a straight away fail by the AI, or have you seen any high-trust accounts get away with them? Got it. I’ve also noticed that new signs on old buildings seem to get more scrutiny...

Also I think that moving away from bulk tools and focusing on aged, localized accounts with active account behavior is the only way to keep reviews sticky.

Getting a lot of 'Your review was not published' emails lately for organic, text-heavy reviews. Is it possible Google is over-filtering reviews that include too many keywords?

Does anyone still get the Postcard option, or is everyone being forced into Video and Phone verification exclusively now?

Which is more effective for removing fake negative reviews ? Flagging for 'Conflict of Interest' or 'Spam'? Any suggestions ?
