Google Business Profile Reinstatement
Struggling with a Suspended GBP? We’ve Got You Covered.
When your Google Business Profile (GBP) is suspended, it can feel like your business has vanished online. At Papaya Search, we specialize in Google Business Profile reinstatement, offering a seamless solution to restore your visibility and trust. Let us manage the complexities while you focus on your business and improve your Local SEO.
Why Was Your Google Business Profile Suspended?
A suspended profile is more than an inconvenience—it can prevent customers from finding and engaging with your business. Common reasons for GBP suspensions include:
- Incorrect or Misleading Information – Business name, address, or contact details don't match official records.
- Address Violations – Using P.O. boxes, virtual offices, or co-working spaces without proper signage.
- Duplicate Listings – Multiple profiles for the same business location.
- Keyword Stuffing – Adding unnecessary keywords to your business name.
- Unverified or Suspicious Activity – Frequent edits, logins from unusual locations, or unverified accounts.
- Policy Violations – Fake reviews, misleading content, or guideline breaches.
- Inconsistent Information – Mismatches between your GBP and other online listings.
- Unauthorized Changes – Unapproved edits triggering automated suspensions.
Understanding the root cause is critical to achieving reinstatement. Our team conducts a thorough audit to pinpoint and resolve these issues effectively.
