I suspect most users won&#8217;t appeal it, I mean, why bother? How much does it help them (a reviewer) to have a review posted. <\/p> <p>Amy wrote, &#8220;Pretty cool that Google is being upfront about this, and offering a second assessment.&#8221; Vinay added, &#8220;I genuinely like this new feature.&#8221;<\/p> <p>Forum discussion at LinkedIn.<\/p> <\/p><\/div> <p>#Google #Maps #Review #Posted #Email #Notice1785116355<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google is now sending out notifications when a review is not posted after a user tries to submit a review on a Google local business profile.
