Due to COVID-19, there may be some temporary limitations to ‘Google My Business’ functionality, which includes reviews because Google wants to give more priority to critical services.
According to the official announcement,
“During the unprecedented COVID-19 situation, we are taking steps to protect the health of our team members and reduce the need for people to come into our offices. As a result, there may be some temporary limitations and delays in support as we prioritize critical services.”
Let’s take a look at the temporary changes.
Google will prioritize reviewing business information such as changes to open-and-close states, special hours, temporary closures, business descriptions and business attributes.
Even here, the priority will be given to health-related businesses or services. If your business does not fall under this category, it will take some time for the changes to go live
