How can company reviews not be shown on a Google map? My clients ask me this question. The thing is that you can complain about a review. If several people are dragging a point on the map, someone can click where they shouldn't. For example, change the company type to something like public, even by accident.

After Google announced about earning points and raising the level for them. I personally noticed that miracles happen with my achievements, on the points where I wrote reviews. For example, I corrected an ancient review and it began to display. My relatives also have the same, and this is not an isolated case.

The Google Local Experts Forum does not always provide reasonable information, moreover, you can wait quite a long time for an answer to your question. And more often than not, it all comes down to breaking the rules, although the latter say that spam, insults, and similar comments are blocked.

The main thing is to have it available, that is, a file with a transparent background in PNG format, although the service  understands JPG perfectly well.

What do you need to do to create? Everything is simple: click the button to upload the file from which you want to get icons, then say archive, unzip, upload everything to the root of the site, insert the code into the site headers. That is, into each page. Don't be afraid of the size, you can trim, enlarge and even change the background. But of course, everyone knows that, if possible, the image for the icon should initially be square or round. After completing your actions, insert the address of your site and check the correctness.

How Google statistics helps to develop a website and business. The image is taken from a report in Google Search Console of my website. That is, having analyzed well, you can understand what people are looking for, or rather, what is more interesting and what is less.
