Google Business Profile Suspensions Increase Every Year

In recent years, Google has been tightening their policy of content verification, and Google Business Profile suspensions have increased whenever a new update is issued.

Automated checks are carried out on business listings for even the smallest thing like a telephone number mismatch or address inconsistency, which implies that even the most credible and well-maintained business listing can fall prey to this policy.

While a business profile suspension doesn’t necessarily imply an intentional wrongdoing, there is a right way to lift a suspension,

failing which will result in the loss of visibility, reviews, and ranking data.

Google Business Profile Suspension Reasons

Before filing any appeal, it is crucial to know why the suspension was issued in the first place.

Google usually doesn’t provide an adequate explanation, and that is why so many appeal

applications are rejected the second time around. Some of the reasons why Google might

suspend your Business Profile include:

Inconsistencies in your business NAP

Using a virtual office, PO box, or an address not verifiable

Keyword stuffing in your business name or description

Ownership or verification conflicts

Service-area business misrepresentation

Appealing without knowing the specific reason for doing so is among the most common

mistakes in reinstatement requests which results in denial, and such denial affects future

appeals.
