I will reinstate and fix suspended google my business profiles

1. Soft Suspension: This is a mild suspension activity by Google when it doubts your information or verification. In this case, Google marks your account as unverified for an unknown reason. 2. Hard Suspension: Google may issue a ‘hard’ suspension if it finds your listing violates its guidelines.

If Google witnesses over-optimization of your GMB profile, it can suspend a listing. E.g., Stuffed keywords across the description, offerings, posts, etc., are common.

Inconsistency in your address across your GMB listing, site, and other directories raises questions. Moreover, practices like listing a virtual address, P.O. Box address, or FedEx/UPS Office are against GMB guidelines. You can check these inconsistencies using local citation tools like Brightlocal.

Google values the authenticity of your business location. If you share your office/store location with another GMB-listed business, Google will suspend it. You must be able to claim the authority of your business address.

Keeping Google unaware about updates like relocation or rebranding attracts a suspension penalty. If a user visits your old address (by trusting GMB), he will be disappointed. And he can report this inconvenience to Google. Here’s an example in the below image.

Incomplete verification is a common mistake attracting ‘soft’ suspension. You must request a re-verification if you edit your phone no., category, address, etc. Unless these changes aren’t verified, your GMB profile isn’t visible.

Some businesses practice the trickery of creating multiple listings (with minor variations) for the same business. This might tempt you with greater visibility, but Google will eventually suspend all these listings.

Practices like forwarding website links and linking to irrelevant landing pages are against GMB guidelines. These can easily attract Google’s notice, so ensure to add your original site URL.

Google values NAP consistency, and it can pull down your listing in case of brand name inconsistency. So, refrain from using short-form spellings or capitalization variations of your original brand name.

Phone number forwarding and unreachable phone number bring disappointment for the users. They may even report these practices, and you can attract a penalty. Another false practice is no phone call responses.
