      Hello Everyone,

      After 6 Months, Google has removed us from Google Places for Business and Maps. We did everything properly and we where serving on the 3rd position. Now it seems that the listing is back in Pending?

      1. Does anybody have any suggestions how to proceed or how to handle this? 
      2. Can we use places listings again using the same Address? 
      3. How long will it take to process again?  
      4. We also heard that some one might of complained??

      Your help is much needed.

      Thanks

        Greetings,

        I don't know that it is related but recently we were claiming listings for a client with 50+ brick and mortar locations and after a month or two of having them claimed a handful of them went back into pending.  I believe it is likely a bug or something.  The easiest thing is to just re-verify them however if there is an issue with calls or sending a postcard you'll have to call their support line...and wait a very long time (relatively speaking for the web).

          When you go to your Places for Business page, click to edit details, then at the bottom of the page there is a "Get help with this listing" link, which will allow you to tell Google to call you. You'll get a Google Local rep on the phone who can tell you exactly what's going on and possibly reverify it on the spot.

            Hi Everworld,

            Recommend you read this thread from the Google And Your Business Forum. Sounds quite similar to what you've experienced:

            https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/business/pending/business/QdsPGZz3ctI/g3YtlW2duwMJ

            Please let me know if that doesn't help.
