So I cover , Googles ping being depreciated as of June however now we have some more options that will be better and easier for us to implement while still gaining indexing and crawling from Google and other search engines.

The recommendation from Google is to use your websites sitemap " last-mod" function stating not to update your last modification date unless you have changed.

1. Links on your page

2. Website text

3. Schema Markup

You can keep your sitemap fresh for crawling using:

1. Sitemap

2. Robots

3. Google Search Console

4. Indexing API

Schema is the big take away here because it is easy to update and deploy across your site to get a recrawl and a update from Google to help users on your website find fresh information throughout your site. Also you can still use robots.txt to help index and allow your sitemap xml file , you can allow and disallow items or pages but include your sitemaps inside of your robots.txt file to be crawled and allowed.

We wanted to know did the reviews really vanish? And if so why did the Google Maps listing not lose rankings?

What we found was there are times reviews are removed and completely gone , that is a fact. No question! Sometimes a-lot of the time reviews are actually hidden and they have not been removed they where just hidden and not visible to others. If you keep track of your reviews and know when and who left them by checking your email attached to your listing. You find the "contributor identification number" .
