Google Places seems to be a step in the wrong direction. What are you all doing with your frustration, if you have any?

Not that I want this to happen to you or any one else for that matter but at least this happens to the top guys as well. Google is king but I think they are creating a huge opportunity for some one else to fill in one day by the way they treat “customers”.

All you can do is let Google know about it at one of the forum posts where they have asked for information and…. be very patient.

Now they are separated in:

Reviews from around the web
Reviews by Google users

It seems that what is lost is lost, tho…

Going to Mike Ramsey’s point of ranking loss, I just noticed a pretty massive loss for an account I track daily that lost 10 reviews somehow last night. The drop on the 7 Pack for one of their keywords went from 2nd to 6th, and from 3rd to 7th. The total number of reviews dropped from 45 to 35 to give an idea of review volume. They have a good number of review sources and nothing else had been done in this time period. Interesting. Hopefully, they’ll be back. I’m doing my best to follow point #1 in your post :)

Ed
