@Richard sorry missed your post above.

The flat-lined impressions is another current problem. I reported and Jade from Google came to a couple of the threads about the problem at my forum and asked for more examples. So Google is looking into that one too.

ALSO if anyone is getting the 500 error and locked out of your merged page, I think they tracked that bug to the new display update. They are working on that one as well.

I escalated to Google last night. Big thread brewing at my forum. http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/google-local-important/4184-pending-being-reviewed.html

Some are reporting in that thread that a POKE pulls it right out of pending IF pending is just due to this new bug and there is not some other problem. So try that.

@Richard Someting is going on with G+Local....what we are not sure. Many, many listings have gone to pending. I just got this email from Linda Buquet:

We're getting a sudden rash of pending complaints. Just a few posts follow. Some are big agencies where all or most of their listings have gone pending: 30 listings: 40 accounts: More:

Pending in and of itself is usually nothing bad, just the system waiting to catch up with itself and usually the listings continue to show in the index. The analytics also walk to the beat of a different drummer and frequently don't work... both more or less par for a very bumpy course. But the volume of these reports, as Linda noted, could portend some bigger problem(s).

I’ve seen some strange things happening with all of my listings over the past three weeks. All of my client listings have dropped dramatically in impressions. Then, today all of the active listings in several of my accounts changed to Pending status. Is anyone else seeing this happening? Like many commenters above have said, it’s pretty frustrating when you follow all the rules to a T, and Google is so buggy or just lacks in communication.

jade needs to address all of the pulled listings that are either showing we do not support or pending from the hidden address service business fiasco. why someone at google thought it was a good idea to make phone calls that sound like spaming solicitors and then pull listings if they are hungup on is beyond me. not only would have it been better to send actual emails to business owners it would have been less resource intensive and more productive. small business owners don’t check the google forums for updates and now hundreds if not thousands are stuck in limbo for months after many multi-year established businesses are pulled off all over a f’king box check

Google is really hurting my businessm we tried updating our info back in November 2012. We were removed from Google listing s all together.
We are contantly getting this pending message. We tried deleting the first pending listing and resubmitting it. But again soon as we put in the pin we got another pending message. 3 months and nothing. It is very frustrating as our clients are really thinking we are gone out of business. Yoy cant even call Google. They finally called use about 2weeks ago to update the listing. We are still not listed. We just give up. We wanted to do some Google Ads but werw asre even afraid to do that because we arent coming up

I just experienced on one of my custumers that the pending review has gone – miracle! But – the images etc. of the dashboard are still not visible live!

All I can say is most of my followers have said “I give up, where do I pay?” Mission accomplished. As a shareholder, all I can say is “wow.”

@Linda i still see the messages for clients, i have noticed thought that even though it says pending, after 2 or 3 business days the listing is live just not visible within the dashboard.

google places/local what a mess you are!
