Near Media has published ‘A Guide: Why Are My Reviews Missing on Google?’ explaining why some Google reviews have disappeared.

Mike Blumenthal says, “At the moment there are four (maybe more) reasons your reviews have gone missing. How do you know what happened to your reviews?

Were my reviews deleted by the bug?

There is a simple diagnostic for determing if the CID bug bit you. That’s where Google pushed suggested edits, changed your CID and inadvertently nuked your reviews. Here’s the test:

  1. You lost all your reviews
  2. The previous Google review link that Google provided in the dashboard is no longer working and is different than the currently provided link

If both of the above aren’t present, then the CID bug is not happening to you.”
