Our GMB suspension experts know exactly how to get your listing reinstated so as to maintain customer retention rates and prevent further disruptions of service for you and your customers.

Let’s find out why GMB gets suspended, how it impacts your business and how SpiderOrbit Technologies can resolve the suspension without hassle!

Note: Google Business Profile (GBP) was formerly known as Google My Business (GMB).

What Does GMB Suspension Mean?

Imagine this: you have put in hours of hard work creating an accurate, informative, and engaging Google Business Profile only to have it go missing from search results or Google Maps without explanation – leaving customers unable to locate you when they search for related products and services – creating an irreparable rift in customer access for your products and services – an impossibly major setback!

There are two kinds of suspension for Google My Business profiles.

1. Soft Suspension: Your business profile won’t show up on Google Maps, but you can still manage and access it through the GMB dashboard. 
2. Hard Suspension: Your listing is completely removed from Google, and cannot be managed through GMB dashboard anymore. 

Both suspensions severely limit your ability to attract new customers, and a hard suspension can be particularly devastating. But don’t worry – this is not the end. SpiderOrbit Technologies has a proven track record of helping businesses recover from GMB suspensions, so your profile is visible again, and your business can thrive.

Why Does GMB Get Suspended? Here’s What You Need to Know!

Google’s suspension system is designed to protect the quality and reliability of the platform, but unfortunately, many businesses get suspended due to common mistakes. Here are the main reasons why your GMB might get suspended:

1. Violating Google’s Guidelines

Google Business Profiles have stringent rules regarding what is allowed, and any violations could lead to your profile being suspended. Common offenses could include:

• Multiple Listings for the Same Business: Some businesses create multiple profiles for one location, which violates Google’s guidelines and causes confusion for both their users and Google, leading them to suspend these listings. 
• Fake Reviews or Review Manipulation: If you have posted false reviews or offered inducements for reviews, the risk of suspension increases significantly. 
• Keyword Stuffing: This practice involves inserting too many keywords in your business name or description (e.g. “Best Pizza in [City]”) to manipulate search engine results.

2. Misleading or Fraudulent Information

If Google find anything which appears misleading or fraudulent on your GMB listing, such as listing an inaccessible P.O. box as your physical address instead, they will take immediate steps against it by suspending it immediately.

Unreliable Location Information: If your business doesn’t service customers from its stated address or operates in another location than stated, it could result in suspension proceedings being initiated against it.

3. Ignoring Google’s Rules for Service Area Businesses

As a service area business (SAB), your address cannot include locations where customers cannot physically find you – otherwise Google may suspend your profile! Providing transparency and providing an accurate picture is key in providing an honest representation of where your work takes place.

4. Inactive Listings or Lack of Verification

Google prefers active and verified listings; if your profile has been dormant for too long or has yet to be verified by them, its suspension could ensue.

Mistakes to Avoid to Keep Your Google Business Profile Safe

If you don’t want your Google Business Profile suspended, here are some critical mistakes to avoid:

1. Inconsistent NAP (Name, Address, Phone Number) Info: Always ensure your business information is consistent across all online platforms. 
2. Misleading Business Details: Never list incorrect business hours, services, or locations. Be honest! 
3. Posting Fake Reviews or Encouraging Inauthentic Feedback: Google takes review manipulation very seriously and can suspend your profile if they detect it. 
4. Listing a Virtual Address: If you’re a service area business, don’t try to use a P.O. Box or an address where you don’t meet customers. Be transparent about your location.

Why You Should Act Fast: The Hidden Cost of GMB Suspension

It’s easy to underestimate the impact of a suspended Google Business Profile, but the truth is, the longer your business is offline, the more it costs you. Here’s why:

1. Loss of Local Visibility

Did you know that 46% of Google searches are for local information? By suspending your GMB listing, you could lose access to this highly valued traffic source and its potential leads and sales opportunities. Every day your GMB remains suspended represents missed opportunities to connect with new customers – and could cost your business dearly in sales potential.

2. Decrease in Customer Trust

Google is an indispensable search engine for local businesses. When your listing is suspended, customers may assume your doors have closed or your services can’t be trusted, which erodes their confidence – something which once lost, can be hard to regain.

3. Impact on SEO Rankings

A suspended GMB listing also impacts your search rankings negatively, as Google uses algorithms that take your online visibility and presence into account when calculating them. A suspended listing could cause its search rankings to plummet further, making it even harder for your site to regain the top spots in search results.

4. Lost Revenue

A suspended GMB listing means lost revenue for businesses of any kind; whether that means restaurants, service providers or e-commerce stores. Your customers rely heavily on Google to find their businesses; when they can’t, they’ll go elsewhere; meaning lost foot traffic, missed calls and reduced inquiries for you and more business for competitors. Restoring your listing as soon as possible to protect revenue while staying ahead of competitors and maintain success.
