If you get an email or a GBP dashboard alert that your Google Business Profile has been suspended due to a policy violation, the first step is to stop clicking and take a breath.
Potentially losing your Google Business Profile can be a major problem for home service pros. It can represent a major source of leads and years of online review gathering efforts that we know you do not want to lose.
But reacting out of anger and clicking the appeal button fast can potentially trigger an irreversible appeal reinstatement request with a 60-minute timer. Don’t burn through one of your only opportunities to appeal.
Navigating Google Business Profile suspensions can be tricky. Dealing with Google's automated support structure is difficult. And you only get two appeals to reclaim a suspended GBP.
This information is meant to help and serve as a guide - but it VERY EASY to get things wrong.
Dealing with GBP verifications and suspensions is part of our contractor marketing program. Footbridge Media has an over 96% success rate with the GBP listings we manage - but it absolutely requires that our clients still have the right to appeal available.
Instead, protect your GBP investment by taking time to assess the situation, identify the most likely issues for suspension and remedy, gather your supporting documents, and complete your GBP appeal thoroughly to give yourself the best chance of reclaiming your account.
