Holy cats, Google—WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. 😡

If you’ve noticed your hard-earned Google reviews disappearing, you’re not alone. I’ve experienced it firsthand, and let me tell you… not cool. As business owners, we rely on those glowing five-star reviews to build trust, attract clients, and boost our visibility.

The good news? Google is on it. They’ve promised these reviews aren’t gone—just temporarily MIA while they fix the issue.

But here’s the deal: this isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last. That’s why in today’s episode, I’m breaking down three things you NEED to do right now to protect your Google reviews and make sure you’re not left scrambling the next time something like this happens.

🔥 Don’t wait—press play, take action, and let’s keep your business visible!

And hey—if this episode helped you, leave me a review on Apple Podcasts (ironically, it won’t disappear there! 😉).
