Google Places Changes

So, I have noticed for a number of clients (most in fact) that the number of impressions is WAY down from what they used to be. I find it hard to believe that the number of impressions can decrease to a mere 30% of what they have consistently been.

Has anyone else experienced unusual changes within the Google Places dashboard for the number of impressions for client(s)?

For example, I have one client who has been averaging about 1500 impressions per month for the last couple of years and is now down to about a 500 or so per month. I use another reporting system which tracks the keyword rankings/local search resulsts and nothing is "off" there so just wondering what might be going on with the Google Places dashboard and their numbers....

    They probably lost rankings on various keywords.

    This happened to me too, but my rankings came up a couple days later, actually better than they were before, and now I'm getting more impressions than I use to.

    I also lost a lot of reviews too, but since traffic is up Im not angry.

    I have seen a lot of my client's dashboards that basically show zero (or very low) impressions, yet I have seen no change in rankings.

    It may have something to do with the new platform they are rolling out, causing a glitch in the old analytics pages.
