I've had one for probably a decade now for my business.  But it's getting harder and harder to use it.  They've rejected a few of my listings for no reason (gotta "love" AI).

Yes, I have had one for about 10 years and spend a lot of time keeping it current, I treat it like my 2nd website and blog.

I created one about 18 years ago and it did not allow me to change to my new company 15 years ago. it booted it me out until couple of years ago. A Realtor friend of mine helped me and it worked. So far, all good:)

I have no idea. Over the years, I've signed up for numerous services and platforms, but I often forget about them or never use them again. Right now, I'm only working on my Facebook pages—both personal and business—and ActiveRain.  My testimonial page (RealSatisfied) receives a good amount of traffic because I link it in my email signatures and my posts within Facebook and ActiveRain.

I've heard of company changes being frustrating.  I corrected mine years ago after switching companies and it took a couple of requests.  The question for anyone who has recently created a Google profile - Is a mailed invitation still required?  Or is the process quicker?  

As Carol posted, we will be discussing Google Profiles on the 4/7 Zoom call.  Please join us.  I"m not an expert and would love for more to join that have even more expertise - on this topic -  Thomas J.

     Sure do. But so many Google business profiles are invisible, layers of dust from once and done set up back in 2014. Not updated every time Google "re-invented" GBP which is what five times or more now?

     Like blogging, video channels, social media, your website, better make sure your GBP is tied to local maps, local search. Stocked with lots of fresh location-based content, local images, Q&A , upcoming events Jan Green - Scottsdale, AZ.

Not yet, I feel I already have so many, it is already overwhelming as is. But I'll probably will add eventually.
