I noticed this tweet from @Amy Toman and once I checked out her enterprise profile it seems these weren’t new opinions however older opinions that have been revealed. The most recent one was posted 3 days in the past and the oldest one was posted a yr in the past. Amy said she acquired an e mail for one evaluation that was posted 10 months in the past however nothing for the opposite 5. She solely seen them when she click on on the “have not replied,” tab.
I’m seeing this on 1 consumer GBP that was having outdated opinions hidden immediately over the previous few months. they went from 390+ all the way down to 380 and again to 390 lately with no intervention from me.
I simply noticed one other enterprise go from 154 opinions to 169 opinions. None of them are new.
It appears the e-mail notifications of those opinions are considerably delayed. I imagine I even noticed some for my enterprise over the vacation however I don’t observe my opinions too carefully (I do know, I ought to).
