Google’s review bug is resolved. Well, mostly. It seems some review counts still haven’t been fully restored, Google said. So if your review count isn’t back to normal, it might be time to reach out to Google Business Profile support.

“Most affected profiles now display accurate ratings and reviews. However, while we have made significant progress, some profiles may still experience a temporary lower count,” according to Google’s Victoria Kroll.

Barry Schwartz explains it all in Google confirms most review count bugs fixed but some still to go.
