For the past 24 hours a number of posters in the forums (and people contacting me privately) have noted<\/a> that their listings in their Places Dashboard have gone to a “Pending” status.<\/p>\n

In this post in response to a complaint that all of a users listing had gone pending, Google Employee Brianna noted<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Hello,<\/p>\n

Thanks for reporting this issue. We are aware that listings have reverted to pending in users’ accounts. To check if your listing is live, please do a search in Google Maps for [BUSINESS NAME in POSTAL CODE].<\/div>\n
Boost ads are unaffected by this issue.<\/div>\n
We will follow up with more information when we have it.<\/div>\n

Thanks,<\/p>\n

The statement, although ambiguous, does imply a new bug in Places. It would seem that if your listing is still visible in the index then you have been been bitten. Although as I noted to several email correspondents, Google might also be putting more listings under manual review. <\/p>\n

My suggestion in times like this is stays the same (even if Google’s is ever changing): Take two beers and come back in the morning<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
