Google Reviews is temporarily shut off

[Mikey P]

New reviews can't be added.

That department must be on furlough

You can't reply to reviews either, nor create new business listings right now. But you can still post to your GMB.

It makes sense to turn them off right now.

I just did two (both posted). It does say it may be delayed. I can see places getting unfairly massacred with reviews right now though and of course staff shortages so it would make sense.

Can’t trust google reviews...Most are fake anyways....google fake reviews are easily rendered. Yelp is difficult.

Yeah cause Karen will try and call, and if your closed to Carona. She'll go write a scathing review of how her kitty Fiona puked on her carpet and she was so desperate to use you for the first time but your phone rang and rang.

Not good for a reputable company.



Thanks Karen

Yeah, that's what I was doing today. Cat vomit. At least that's what she said it was. Looked more like dog crap to me. She left with the dog as I came in, left her visa card, I texted her when I was done. Easy, peasy.
