        Hi Cole

        Check you listings on Google Plus is complete and includes full business address, with building, street and zip code, make sure your site does too.

        Investigate anything that looks odd and reach out to Google.

        easy to re-invow.  Just remove the site from the text file and resubmit it.  The text file should contain all the disavow links and is like a master for Google to reference.  Add/remove to this list as required.  I doubt that this is the cause, more like something is not fully joined up for Google, like address etc.

        Hope that helps

        Bruce

          Bruce,

          We were #1 on local Google Places. Everything is linked up and running fine. We've been #1 for quite some time so it can't be that.

          I've totally deleted the disavow file. Should I request a recrawl of our home page?

          Thanks,

            Hi Cole

            I am not sure why you would want to totally delete the disavow file, but its your call of course.

            If you have deleted it yes recrawl to get Google back up to date with the changes quickly rather than wait for the regular crawl.

            PS great to see you have sorted this, what was the problem?

            Bruce

              It appears the disavow tool dropped me out of the rankings. And I deleted in and appeared to be right back in the rankings.

              Thanks,
