Ranking #1 on Google used to mean being first. Now ads, AI Overviews, and Map Packs load before organic results. A 2025 analysis of 200K+ keywords found top organic click-through rates fell from 28% to 19%. Is your business truly visible? #SEO #LocalSearch

A member of our r/localsearch subreddit is reporting their GBP dashboard being blank for 3 different clients, 3 different logins...

They can find the client on Google - but the dashboards are blank. Anyone else seeing this?
