Your best 5-star review just vanished from Google. Now what? π³
Most business owners panic β assuming the customer changed their mind or a competitor played dirty. Usually it's neither. Google quietly filters reviews all the time, and a missing one often isn't gone for good.
Here's the fix most owners don't know: you can ask Google to investigate and restore it. Report it through the Google Business Profile Help page, select your business, and file it as a "Missing Review."
But the bigger lesson? If one lost review can rattle your ranking, the real gap is that you don't have a steady stream of new ones coming in.
