If you've been seeing this in your profile for the last week or so, don't worry.

It's a wide spread glitch.

The reviews themselves have disappeared, but you can still see your number of reviews,

Hopefully gets fixed soon.

A few months ago Google started enforcing the “Immovable Property” policy on Real Estate Google Business Profiles. Meaning, we can no longer post houses for sale or put our sold homes there (because you’re not allowed to put products that are “immovable” on there).

And, adding our services as products (like "Listing Services", "Buyer Agent Services", "Probate & Estate Services", etc) really isn’t what it’s meant for either. But since it makes our profile look prettier and reiterates what we do, I was still adding services as products and utilizing the products section that way.

So really, the Products section isn’t for us. (Then why have it there!?)

Now, I haven’t seen Services as Products getting rejected like with the immovable property ones recently; but instead, a different trend has begun to emerge over the last month+/-.

I’ve noticed that any profile dashboard that I go into that did not have any products added to their profile already, does not even have the “Edit Products” tab in the dashboard.

Other profiles that had products still have the tab and section and can add and edit.

So is the Products section on it’s way out altogether for real estate profiles? It would make sense. Not sure why it would be in the dashboard in the first place if it’s not meant for us. Just like the “Add more hours” that doesn’t apply to us.

Do you still have a products section on your profile? Are your products in good standing or “rejected”?

💬 Messages in Google Business Profile are back! With "Handled by your AI Agent"!? Can't wait to see what that's all about.

In addition, it appears that the semi-new attribute for default messaging (I forget exactly what it was called now) in Edit Profile settings is now gone. (not to be confused with the "Chat" feature, which is still there)

"AI Real Estate Agent" is the #4 top search related to real estate agents so far in 2026.

And it's #2 in rising searches.

Other than being aware that consumers are looking for ways to transact without us,

we can capitalize on this for SEO by having a page or article on our website titled exactly that ("AI Real Estate Agent").

We can also use it as an oppotunity to tell consumers and AI that we're cutting edge agents who are more knowledgable than any other agents locally.

On this page, we are obviously not talking about how to sell a house with AI instead of a real estate agent.

We should talk about how we utilize AI in our processes to better serve our clients and do things other agents don't even know how to do.

We can highlight our AI savviness, while also reiterating the need for an actual human expert who knows how to properly use these tools.

It can also give you validity when your client is using AI. We should be more knowledgable about using AI for real estate transactions than they are.

If you're more knowledgable and show that you know exactly what's up, they will trust you over the AI they're consulting behind your back.

And they might even stop asking it altogether, because they know you're properly consulting it and are the master at using it, so they don't need to double check you.

🇺🇸 Your July 4th Weekend Local SEO Checklist...

1. TELL GOOGLE YOU'RE OPEN

In your Google Business Profile, in the "Edit Profile" tab... Scroll down to "Special Hours" and make sure you tell Google that you're open with normal hours.

This is super important... On July 4th, if you have not done this, your profile will show essentially as "We're not sure if they are open" in red. Versus your competitors that told Google they are open will simply show as "Open" in green.
..Who do you think the potential clients will call?

As a best practice, for real estate agents, it's best to just be open every single day with consistent hours. Even Christmas, Easter, July 4th, whatever. Open every day until it becomes an issue, but I've never seen it be an issue. And guess what, if I get a lead call on Thanksgiving, I'll take it! Or I can just choose to not answer.

And lesser holidays when people are still going about their lives are even more important. Easter is a huge one too. I see a lot of action happen on Easter. I would just be open every day/365.

2. THINGS TO DO ARTICLE

If you create news and what's happening type content on your website already, a "Things To Do in Your Town for July 4th Weekend 2026: The Ultimate Guide to All the Events and Activities Happening in Your Town" article is great.

People are searching the internet for things to do, especially because July 4th weekend signals that the summer/hot weather and vacation season is now in full swing. Pools are open, camp grounds are open, events are happening, people are taking vacations, all schools are out for summer, etc.

3. PROMOTE YOUR ARTICLE

Email your list with the article (if you typically send that type of info). Only target the people who live in your area.

Promote the article on socials.

Generally try to drive some traffic to the article.

Submit article to Google Search Console for indexing.

Your headshot matters a lot for conversion on Google and everywhere else online and offline.

Here's an easy tool (Gemini Gem) you can drop your headshot (or other images of you) in and get an analysis based on expert information.

Mine scored pretty good, thankfully ('cause I don't wanna make a new one!). See how yours measures up...

If you're doing a sh** ton of marketing and nobody is calling, it might be the images of you and how they are perceived by people both consciously and unconciously.

NO BUENO! Here's what it looks like now when you get a reviews infraction with Google.

Make sure not to break any of Google's Review Policies.

Here are 10 DON'TS...

1. No incentives or rewards
2. No aggressively twisting people's arm to write certain things
3. No penalties for not leaving a review
4. Don't mention employees or agents (if you are a team or brokerage) - this is a new one
5. Don't have employees or agents solicit reviews (if you are a team or brokerage) - this is a new one
6. No profanity or hate speech or serial content in the review or reply
7. No private information in the review or reply
8. No fake reviews
9. Don't get a lot of reviews at once (unless your business routinely does this)
10. No review gating (like when they click on 5 stars it takes them to leave a review on your profile, but when they click 1 star it takes them to a different internal place)

🚚🤖 If you live in a big warehousing, logistics, or manufacturing area, here's an article idea and prompts to get you started.

As always...

- Read, edit, add to, customize, delete, put your own thoughts into it, etc as needed (both the prompts below and the article)
- Include images
- Make sure you're paying attention to all your page settings and structure

RESEARCH:

START PROMPT> Research everything needed in order to write a comprehensive article about how home values could be affected by the logistics industry in ____TOWN, STATE_____ (now and in future) by AI and automation in the industrial sector and in supply chain management sector and in logistics transportation sector. Research good and bad things, pros and cons, everything. The audience for the article is home sellers in _____TOWN, STATE_____. The article will have two main sections... 1) Pros and 2) Cons. With sub sections to include all the pros and cons found in the research.
ROLE:
Act as a thoughtful writer and synthesizer of ideas, tasked with creating an engaging and readable blog post for a real estate agent website specializing in listings in ____TOWN, STATE____ and focusing on providing home sellers in that area with information and resources to make informed decisions when selling their home in those areas. Your goal is to distill the top most surprising, counter-intuitive, or impactful takeaways from the provided source materials into a compelling article. The writing style should be clean, accessible, and highly scannable, employing an informal yet professional tone. Craft a compelling, click-worthy headline. Begin the article with a short introduction that hooks the reader by establishing a relatable problem or curiosity, then present each of the takeaway points as a distinct section with a clear, bolded subheading. The article should have two main sections... 1) Pros and 2) Cons. With sub sections to include all the pros and cons found in the research. Within each section, use short paragraphs to explain the concept clearly, and don't just summarize; offer a brief analysis or a reflection on why this point is so interesting or important, and if a powerful quote exists in the sources, feature it in a blockquote for emphasis. Conclude the post with a brief, forward-looking summary of the article that very briefly recaps the possible ways things could transpire.

TOPIC:
How home values could be affected by the logistics industry in ____TOWN STATE____ being affected (now and/or in future) by AI and automation in the industrial sector, supply chain management sector, and in the logistics transportation sector. Good and bad, pros and cons.

AUDIENCE:
Homeowners and home sellers in ____TOWN, STATE____.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS:
Use proper SEO heading structures and lists when necessary. 7th grade level, no complicated language or jargon. Maximum of 1,000 words. Use contractions when applicable (you’re, it’s, I’m, etc - that’s how I would talk). Be straight and to the point and get the points across in as few words as possible. Keep in mind Google’s Helpful Content criteria as you write.

Losing a Google review is annoying, and losing a bunch is infuriating 🤬

To have any prayer of getting them back, you need to do a few things BEFORE the reviews go missing.

Here’s how to protect your reviews and put together your Google Reviews Go-Bag so that you’re ready.

Without these things, you’re fighting a steep uphill battle. Google support needs this information in order to do anything about it.

And doing this things will also give you what you need to make it easier to track, analyze, and utilize your reviews.

Here’s what to do...

1) Reply to all reviews

Studies show that all of the reviews that Google remove don’t have replies. And remember that Google is now reviewing replies for policy violations before publishing (like if you replied, “Thanks for the review! Your gift card is on its way!”)

2) Screenshots of reviews

Take screenshots of all your reviews like the example. Make sure to expand the reviews and replies to show the entire review and reply. And make sure you get the user name of the reviewer.

If you have a lot of reviews, this can be a pain, but not other way to do it (unless you create an AI agent to do it for you).

Zoom out as far as you can on your screen to fit as many in one shot as possible, while also making sure it can still easily be read.

3) Use Google Takeout to Export Your Reviews

Use Google Takeout to export your reviews.

Deselect all, then select only Google Business Profile data (unless you want other types of data too, then you can select those as well).

If you are asking, “Can’t I just give the screenshots of my reviews to AI and it can extract all the text for me instead of using Google Takeout?”...

Yes, you can and should do that, but having the official export file from Google is good to have as well.
