GBP Problem? You haven’t done anything wrong.
So why won’t Google verify your business? Or show it in the Local 3 Pack?
Google doesn’t publish a metric called a “Trust Score.”
But make no mistake, it exists....

I just want people to like notice what what's happening for you as you hear this information. Just it's important to really be almost observing your own experience. Like this is very weird stuff. We have not built technology that does this before. You know, we say that
technology is a tool. It's up to us to choose how we use it. . This
is not true because this is a tool that can think to itself about its own toolness and then do things that are autonomous that we didn't tell it to do.

This is an incredible state of affairs for our local businesses all along the Waterfall way.😟
bellingen community....Might I suggest that each business use their GBP (Google business profile) to post an ‘update’, to explain you ARE open for business - and help people to know which directions to get to you?
I specialise in Google and Marketing and I think this may help all of you that are struggling with this
