What is the first thing you check when a Maps ranking drops?

When a client's Google Maps ranking drops suddenly, what is the first thing you check? I start with the profile itself, hours, category, and any recent edits, before touching anything else. What is your first check?

Check GBP edit history first coz usually that's where the drop starts.

The very first thing I check is Search Console to see if organic traffic dropped along with the Maps ranking

Usually just category tweaks or random suggested edits they ruin ranks fast.
