If you run a local business and find that your Google Business Profile has been suspended<\/a>, it can have a devastating effect on your business. <\/p>\n

Your phone may stop ringing. Customers may stop coming to your location. The loss of revenue is real.<\/p>\n

Your first instinct may be to panic and just go through the motions of filling out the Appeals tool without thinking too much about the consequences. But you must know what you’re doing before you start that process.<\/p>\n

Read this entire article before you start the appeals process and learn what to do if your appeal is denied. <\/p>\n

Common reasons your GBP listing might be suspended <\/h2>\n
When your business listing gets suspended, you might be wondering why. Here are some common reasons GBP listings get suspended:<\/p>\n
\n
Keyword stuffing your business name.<\/li>\n
Using a P.O. Box or UPS store address.<\/li>\n
You set up your listing at a virtual office or co-working space address.<\/li>\n
You have a Service Area Business (SAB) and are displaying a physical address.<\/li>\n
You have an online-only business.<\/li>\n
You are in a high-risk business category, like lawyers, plumbers, HVAC, locksmiths, rehab centers, etc.<\/li>\n
If another business shares your same address – especially if it’s a residential address.<\/li>\n
You have made a bunch of changes\/edits to your GBP profile in one sitting.<\/li>\n
The URL you add to your GBP profile forwards\/redirects to another website or links to a social media page.<\/li>\n
If you change your listing from a Storefront to a SAB – or vice versa.<\/li>\n
Having multiple GBPs in an area that has service areas overlapping.<\/li>\n
Your address or hours don’t match what is listed on your website or other online business directories\/citations.<\/li>\n
You list your business hours as 24\/7.<\/li>\n
A manager on your listing had their account suspended – so your listing was also suspended.<\/li>\n
You created multiple listings for the same business at the same address.<\/li>\n
You violated the terms of service of some other Google tool or service.<\/li>\n
You have an account violation, like your email account being suspended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Sometimes, you may not have even committed a violation, as Google just wants to verify that you are a legitimate business. This may be because you are in a duress category, such as locksmiths, HVACs, lawn care, lawyers, etc. <\/p>\n
If you’ve violated a guideline, you must fix the problem with your business listing before you can proceed with the appeals process.<\/p>\n

How to appeal your suspended Google Business Profile<\/h2>\n
The first reaction for most businesses when their business listing gets suspended is to panic and to just click on the Appeals tool link and go through the motions. That’s not<\/em> the best approach. <\/p>\n
\n
Thoroughly read the Help Support document<\/a> when appealing your suspended profile. This document contains crucial information about the appeal process and what you need to do to appeal your suspension.<\/li>\n
If you’re unsure what violation you may have on your GBP listing or if you’re uncertain that your supporting documents will meet Google’s requirements, it’s best to hire a Google Business Profile Product Expert before you do anything. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
If you file the appeal and are denied due to sending the wrong documents or not fixing the information on your GBP listing, you may be denied and prevented from having a Google Business Profile. Period. <\/p>\n
No one can guarantee reinstatement, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. <\/p>\n
Be patient. Doing it correctly is better than panicking and doing this process incorrectly.<\/p>\n
