Google Business Profile Reinstatement
Google Business Profile Suspended?Let's Get You Back on the Map.
A suspended profile means lost calls, lost directions and lost customers. We find out why it happened, fix the underlying issue and prepare a strong appeal to give your genuine business the best chance of reinstatement.
Common Reasons for Suspension
Most suspensions come down to a handful of guideline issues, many of them accidental.
Address Issues
Using a virtual office, PO box or shared workspace, or showing an address when you should be set up as a service-area business, is one of the most common triggers.
Business Name Violations
Adding keywords, locations or taglines to your business name that do not match your real-world branding can lead to suspension.
Duplicate Listings
Multiple profiles for the same business at the same location, often created by accident over the years, can cause Google to take action.
Ineligible Business Type
Some business models, such as online-only businesses without face-to-face customer contact, are not eligible for a Business Profile.
Suspicious Edits
Frequent or significant changes to key details like name, address, category or phone number can prompt a review and suspension.
Inconsistent Information
Details that do not match your website, signage or other listings can make it harder for Google to verify that your business is genuine.
Our Reinstatement Process
A careful, evidence-led approach using Google's official appeals process
Profile Investigation
We review your profile, its edit history and your wider online presence against Google’s Business Profile guidelines to identify the most likely cause of the suspension.
Fix the Root Cause
Before appealing, we help correct whatever triggered the issue, whether that is your business name, address settings, categories or duplicate listings. Appealing without fixing the problem rarely works.
Gather Evidence
We tell you exactly what evidence to prepare, which may include business registration documents, utility bills, photos of permanent signage and your premises, or a verification video.
Submit the Appeal
We prepare and submit a clear, accurate reinstatement request through Google’s official appeals process, presenting your evidence in the way reviewers need to see it.
Follow Up & Protect
We monitor the appeal and respond to any further requests. Once reinstated, we help you keep your profile compliant so the same problem does not happen again.

Frequently Asked Questions
What you need to know about suspended Google Business Profiles
Why has my Google Business Profile been suspended?
Google does not always give a specific reason. Common causes include address problems, keywords in the business name, duplicate listings, ineligible business types and significant recent edits. A thorough review of your profile against Google’s guidelines is usually needed to pinpoint the cause.
Can you guarantee my profile will be reinstated?
No, and you should be wary of anyone who does. The final decision is always Google’s. What we can do is make sure the underlying issue is fixed and that your appeal is accurate, complete and supported by the right evidence, which gives you the best possible chance.
How long does reinstatement take?
Timescales vary. Some appeals are reviewed within a few days, while others take several weeks, particularly if Google requests additional evidence. Submitting a complete appeal first time helps avoid unnecessary delays.
Will I get my reviews back?
When a suspended profile is reinstated, its existing reviews, photos and history are usually restored. This is one reason it is generally better to appeal than to create a new profile.
Should I just create a new profile instead?
Usually not. Creating a new profile for a suspended business can be seen as an attempt to get around the suspension and may make things worse. You would also lose your existing reviews. Fixing the issue and appealing is the recommended route.
What evidence will I need?
This depends on your situation, but Google may ask for documents such as business registration, a business licence, utility bills showing your business name and address, photos of permanent signage and your premises, or a video verification. We will tell you exactly what to prepare.
