@marcus

Why do you have three listings that are all claimed? Dupes are one the reason losing reviews. When they merge you end up with a new CID and the reviews can’t find your listing.

I too have the same Issue as some of the others. Google has removed my old cid and when you click on it through old reviews the that others created you get the ” Google dose not support this place page”

Our Busy season is coming upon us and my 27 reviews are gone. I have someone from Google that I,m currently emailing with. And just like the others I have essentially paid good money for these reviews. I send out correspondence to all of my clients that we have worked for. WE ask them for reviews and we use our reviews to help sale ourselves to the public. In our industry these reviews can come in handy we someone needs something more than just your word to make a commitment with you. We had 27 reviews with a 4.85 rating and now i have i review going into my busy season.

Does anyone have any contacts at Google that they can share?
Please go to my website and send me your info so that i can call you back. If it works for me i will pay you a reward.

I have asked over 20 of my patients to review me and I have only had 2 that have done it. Or at least they are the only ones that posted. I have had people tell me they did the review and it would not post. About a week ago my only two were missing. It’s embarrassing for me to ask them if they even did the review. But it’s frustrating that they are doing them and they are not even being posted.

@Brian

This should absolutely reaafirm for all why they need reviews at multiple (at least 3 or 4) other sites. If G isn’t fighting with TA they are fighting with Yelp… if they aren’t losing citysearch reviews they are losing their own… the best long term strategy is multiple reviews at multiple review sites over time

Everyone should see this as an object lesson in why you need to spread the source of your reviews around…

Google periodically loses their own reviews. They usually come back. It seems to happen more when there are major changes taking place under the hood but can happen at any time.

I would recommend patience.

We just lost 70 Google Places reviews, but only our Google ones, which is strange. All 3rd party/sites reviews remain. I doubt we’ll be offered any support from Google so I just wanted to make everyone here aware that this is an ongoing issue.

[...] business listing in Google had suffered from a bug that “orphaned” reviews and prevented their association with my business. Reviews that have been missing from my account [...]

My wife’s interior design company’s reviews have reappeared after about a month gone. A local doctor I work with had his 100% optimized Places page disappear altogether last week along with his Maps listing. That listing mysteriously reappeared this week. It’s bizarre.
