Sign #1
Sudden Ranking Drop

Your GBP drops from the local pack overnight with no changes made. Google's spam filters may have quietly flagged your listing for review.

Sign #2
Pending Edits You Didn't Make

Edits queued on your name, category, or phone number that you never submitted. This often signals a competitor spam report or Google's automated review.

Sign #3
Owner Removal Request

A notification that someone requested to remove you as owner. This is a direct ownership attack. Act within 24 hours or you can lose full control of the listing.
