Hello Grow Community! 📈

In the past few days, many businesses have noticed their Google reviews mysteriously vanishing. Don’t panic—Google has confirmed this is a temporary bug and is working on a fix. Google did confirm that all of the missing reviews still exist and will come back once they sort this out. In the meantime, the best thing you can do is continue gathering fresh 5-star reviews.

How to Easily Get More 5 Star Reviews:

1. QR Codes: Place a QR code linking to your review page on receipts, menus, business cards, and at checkout. The easier it is to leave a review, the more you’ll get!
