Preventative measures are key to avoiding the inconvenience of a suspended profile:
✅ Regular Updates and Audits: Keep your business information up-to-date and conduct regular audits to ensure compliance with Google’s policies.
✏️ Engage Constructively with Reviews: Respond to customer reviews promptly and professionally. Address negative feedback directly and courteously.
💡 Maintain Consistent Information: Ensure your business information is consistent across all online platforms, not just your GBP.
💁 Educate Your Team: If multiple people have access to your GBP, make sure they are all aware of the guidelines and best practices.
While a suspension can be disruptive, understanding the reasons behind it and knowing the steps to recovery can help you regain your profile and prevent future issues.
💎 Regular maintenance and adherence to Google’s guidelines are your best defence against suspension. Stay proactive in managing your Google Business Profile to ensure it remains an asset rather than a liability to your business.
