My Google Business Profile Has Been Suspended!

Now What?

Google Business Profile is one of the best ways to increase your local search visibility, appearing in Google Search, Google Maps, and voice search results. These profiles are completely free so they bring an excellent return but suspensions on GMB (Google my Business) are common due to strict guidelines. If your business relies on your Google business listing then a suspension could be detrimental for your business. Below is the process we utilize to get your listing back as fast as possible.

The Reinstatement Process for GMB Profiles:

  • Comprehensive Audit: We begin by auditing your listing to identify the exact cause of the suspension from Google. This includes checking NAP consistency, reviewing business categories. We also cross-reference your listing with other directories to detect inconsistencies.

  • Guideline Compliance: We update your listing to align with Google’s policies, correcting NAP data, removing keyword-stuffed content, and ensuring the business category accurately reflects your operations. For service-area businesses, we configure the listing to comply with Google’s address visibility rules.

  • Duplicate Resolution: We identify and merge or delete duplicate listings to eliminate confusion and prevent future suspensions. This includes claiming unverified duplicates and consolidating them under a single, compliant profile.

  • Verification Support: If the suspension is tied to incomplete verification, we guide you through Google’s verification methods, such as postcard, phone, or video verification, ensuring all steps are completed correctly.

  • Appeal Submission: We craft a professional reinstatement request that clearly addresses the suspension reason and provides supporting documentation, such as business licenses, articles of organization or incorporation, utility bills, or website screenshots. Our appeals are concise and detailed to demonstrate full compliance with the guidelines so we can get your listing back fast.

  • Follow-Up and Escalation: We monitor the appeal status and follow up with Google support as needed, leveraging our expertise to expedite the process. If the initial appeal is denied, we analyze the response and submit a revised appeal with additional evidence.
