🚨 Update Monday 11/2: One practical note for everyone filing off this post. Google's support CHAT only appears during support hours, roughly 9 AM to 6 PM Eastern, Monday to Friday. If you go in early or late and only see EMAIL, do not use it. That email form treats this like a category correction and asks for document uploads, and nobody needs to upload anything. Back out and come back during support hours. Chat, request, case number, done. 🚨 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please take a minute to support this effort, then reply DONE + your state below when you’ve voted! ✅ Vote now: Open the Google thread below and click “I have the same question.” https://support.google.com/business/thread/473709051 ✅ November 2–6: Submit a Chat ticket through Google Business Profile Help requesting “New category request: Pet Waste Removal Service” and select “Category isn’t available.” ✅ After submitting your ticket, come back and reply FILED + your state so we can track both votes and requests! Our industry deserves a Google category that actually describes what you do! Trent Bone, owner of Poop Scoopin Crew in Rhode Island and Connecticut, has started an effort to get Google to add a Pet Waste Removal Service category, and I want to help get our Review Harvesters members behind it! As Trent shared, pet waste removal businesses are being listed under categories such as Waste Management Company or Pet Service because there isn’t a dedicated category for this work. Those categories don’t clearly describe the service you provide to pet parents every week. Trent also shared that Joy Hawkins, a Platinum Product Expert, has offered to pass the request along to Google. That is an encouraging step, and we can help show how many business owners want this change! The vote shows support. The support ticket submits your category request. Please do both!

Curious… If a bunch of people give a review on the same day is that looked upon unfavorably?

Hi all. I just turned on the marketing for my new pet waste removal company about 10 days ago. We're already almost to 10 recurring customers! I followed the PSM link over here to give Review Harvest a try and will update y'all as we progress. Looks like this group has a wealth of information! Thank you all for what you do for entrepreneurs like myself.
