- [Google rating or review count not updating](https://reviewsnot.com/rating-or-review-count-not-updating/) (updated 2026-10-02): New reviews are on the profile but the star rating or the number beside it has not moved. Google's own answer is that the score lags. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/rating-or-review-count-not-updating.md
- [Google review link not working](https://reviewsnot.com/google-review-link-not-working/) (updated 2026-10-02): Customers tap your review link or scan the QR code and nothing useful happens. Usually the link came from the wrong place, or the QR code was made on a phone. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/google-review-link-not-working.md
- [Google reviews not showing](https://reviewsnot.com/showing-on-google/) (updated 2026-10-02): A review was left on your Google Business Profile and you cannot see it: the six causes Google documents, and which of them you can fix. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/showing-on-google.md
- [How to report a fake Google review](https://reviewsnot.com/report-a-fake-google-review/) (updated 2026-10-02): Flag a review that breaks Google's content policies, then track the report. Google says evaluation typically takes several days. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/report-a-fake-google-review.md
- [Reviews meant for a different business](https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-meant-for-another-business/) (updated 2026-10-02): A review on your profile describes somewhere else. It is a reporting job, not an editing job — you cannot remove it yourself. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-meant-for-another-business.md
- [Reviews on a duplicate Google listing](https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-on-a-duplicate-listing/) (updated 2026-10-02): Your reviews are split across two profiles for the same business, or stuck on the one you do not manage. Merging is the route, with one thing you lose. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-on-a-duplicate-listing.md
- [All my Google reviews have disappeared](https://reviewsnot.com/all-my-google-reviews-disappeared/) (updated 2026-10-02): Every review gone at once is usually the profile, not the reviews: a merge, a suspension, or a reinstatement. Here is how to tell which. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/all-my-google-reviews-disappeared.md
- [Can't leave a Google review](https://reviewsnot.com/cant-leave-a-google-review/) (updated 2026-10-02): You want to review a business and Google will not let you. Usually the business cannot receive reviews, or your app needs updating. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/cant-leave-a-google-review.md
- [Reviews not showing on Google Maps](https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-not-showing-on-google-maps/) (updated 2026-10-02): No reviews on Maps at all usually means the profile is not showing, not that the reviews went missing. Verification, suspension and timing explain most of it. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-not-showing-on-google-maps.md
- [My Google review isn't showing for other people](https://reviewsnot.com/my-review-isnt-showing-for-other-people/) (updated 2026-10-02): You left a review, you can see it, nobody else can. Usually it is still being checked; sometimes it was removed and will not come back. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/my-review-isnt-showing-for-other-people.md
- [Reviews are turned off for my business category](https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-turned-off-for-my-category/) (updated 2026-10-02): No reviews section at all on your profile. Google limits reviews by category and region, and switches them off permanently for some. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/reviews-turned-off-for-my-category.md
- [Why a Google review was removed](https://reviewsnot.com/why-a-google-review-was-removed/) (updated 2026-10-02): A review was there and now it is gone. These are the policies Google removes reviews under, and the one case where it comes back. Markdown: https://reviewsnot.com/why-a-google-review-was-removed.md
