Hello guys.

My website previously used an improper review aggregation mechanism. Specifically, we were aggregating seller feedback ratings (overall seller ratings) as product review scores, rather than using individual product-specific reviews. This caused our displayed ratings to be inflated and inaccurate, showing overly positive scores that didn't reflect actual product reviews.


After that Google started to de index pages and images, while Bing and DuckGo is fine.
In GSC no manual actions are shown to be taken.

Anyone had success to contact google support and how you was so lucky ? ;-) Google community forum no longer help with such issues :(

It looks like Google hit the site algorithmically, even if there’s no manual action. When review markup is used the wrong way, Google usually pulls back trust and deindexes pages until things look clean again.

Sadly there’s no real support line to reach Google for this. The forums are the only place, and they rarely help with indexing issues now.

If you’ve already fixed the markup, clean up old schema, resubmit the URLs, and give Google some time to crawl again. Most sites recover once Google sees everything is corrected. :)

If you haven't gone too far
Register an different extension of the domain and continue with that while you want on Google
This maybe aing ride and you certainly need a backup

Good to hear everything’s fixed and you’re tracking the bot. If Google is crawling but not restoring pages yet, it usually means the trust reset is still in progress. A month isn’t long in these cases, especially after incorrect review data.

Keep things clean, keep the site active, and let Google re-evaluate at its own pace. Most sites bounce back once the signals settle. Fingers crossed it won’t take anywhere near years.
 
Google rarely helps directly, so most people just fix the issue and wait for the pages to return.
 
This kind of drop usually comes from a trust hit in the quality signals rather than a straight ban. Fix the review setup clean the markup and let Google recrawl support rarely helps with cases like this.
