      I have a couple Google+ local pages that have been placed under review.

      Does anyone have experience regarding the time frame of this reveiw process. Google says to give it a few weeks, but one page has been under review for four weeks now.

      How long should I wait for Google to review them before I delete the page and start over?

        Max, i'd give it a couple of weeks more. If they are still under review, you're better off deleting them and starting over.

          Hi Max,

          Have you figured out why your listing was suspended?

          Here are some resources for you to investigate:

          http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/google-places-help-support/969-google-places-account-suspended.html

          http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/business/under$20review/business/jJLBJaQpqFo/KaKQeKgqhMsJ

          http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!category-topic/business/xgP-vdm6kbk

          http://localsearchforum.catalystemarketing.com/local-search-general-discussions/1182-clients-lies-have-caught-up-them.html

          There isn't a simple answer in cases like these. The best thing to do is to figure out why you were suspended (if you can) and then see if you can find a case similar to yours documented out there. Some say that a suspended listing is dead. Others say it's possible to get back into Google's good graces. I recommend you read the above and see if some clues pop up for you.

            Thank you Miriam.

            The accounts were placed under review for several different reasons. Most were placed under review because of an address change. One account has been reactivated after being under review, so that at least tells us that a listing "under review" is not completely dead.

            Thanks for the resources.

              Hi Max,

              Are you aware of the advice that if you move, you should create a new listing? Just wanted to make sure you knew that.
