GMB Gorilla! Why was my Google My Business suspended due to quality issues?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your Google My Business Profile is a valuable asset to your company that can influence its image and overall success. A frequent catalyst of Google suspensions involves quality issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, the tech giant suspends a ton<\/em> of GMB business listings, especially in the event of an algorithm update.This can be extremely frustrating, especially when you don\u2019t know why your listing was suspended. Unfortunately, Google isn\u2019t keen on giving explanations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whenever a business profile listing undergoes revisions, whether minor or colossal, Google\u2019s tools will automatically review and approve these alterations. It\u2019s also possible that your Google Business Profile suspension<\/a> was triggered by a Google bug or another factor you had nothing to do with.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this may be the case, your hands are still tied. Allow the GMB Gorilla to unravel the rope! Stick around, he\u2019s got some information you\u2019ll want to know.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do when quality issues cause your Business Profile to be suspended<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step #1 \u2013 don\u2019t flip out. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it\u2019s normal to panic when this happens, remember to take a step back and consider your options. When there\u2019s a will, there\u2019s a way, even on the internet. The good news is that it\u2019s possible to get your account reinstated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bad news, however, is that there\u2019s a chance you may never be able to reverse the suspension. Yikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To take steps in the right direction, you need to understand Google My Business Profile\u2019s terms of service<\/a> and community guidelines. Get to know them before proceeding. Misunderstanding Google\u2019s terms of use puts you at a greater risk of a permanent suspension. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Google Business Profile Terms of Service <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I knows they\u2019re boring to read, but hears me out human. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid getting suspend (and to get reinstated), familiarize yourself with Google\u2019s terms of service<\/a>. Consider them to be the golden rules of Google. In other words, take them seriously; you\u2019ll regret it if you don\u2019t. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the eyes of Google, you\u2019re responsible for following their terms of service, and violating them will only hurt your profile and ultimately, your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why your profile has been suspended for quality issues<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are a number of reasons why you may have been suspended. The first thing you want to do is ask yourself: did I include something that I knew was potentially a violation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
