Google Business Profile NMX questions:
1. Where can I find the "suggest edits"?
I see them in the multi-user list, but don't see the "red dot" in the in-search dashboard

2. Photo data
Any update on if we are to be able to view any type of "photo insights" in the future?

Thank you #localseo 's

Via Mike Blumenthal, "The new review filter is no longer just about the content of the review or a specific review attribute, but about the pattern and the context of the review. In some ways this could be an improvement; it will give Google the tools to spot "review attacks" and to possibly remove ratings-only reviews."

Local spam fighting win!

Back on October 17th I used 'Suggest an Edit' on this business to take out the city name. They dropped out of the rankings.

As of today, the edit is still in place.

Sometimes your edits will stick. Don't give up on spam fighting.

Interesting data on the word length of reviews impacting the duration they're surfaced prominently on listings. https://www.sterlingsky.ca/length-google-review-matter/

However, I think the summary slightly misses the point we should be taking.

Our focus needs to be more than word length. Reviews describing the pros and attributes of your products/service will more beneficial to customers and therefore Google. Naturally, these reviews will be longer, which brings us back to Joy's point.

How much time do we waste looking though reviews, trying to find validity? Please don't let your clients get greedy and buy reviews behind your back. It's not good for them or their potential customers.
