Don't just wait check your GBP business name, address, and phone number match your official documents exactly. Appeals can take 4 5 weeks If denied, you can appeal once more with new proof like a video or fresh photos

Was it a hard suspension or soft? (soft = listing still shows in maps but you have no more editorial control)

whats the suspension reason actually say in the dashboard? half the time people appeal without knowing why and just get auto-denied. if its categories or a virtual office address thats usually whats triggering it.
also dont keep spamming new appeals, that can flag the profile worse. one clean appeal with proper docs is better than 5 rushed ones.
soft vs hard matters too like was mentioned. if its hard suspension and the niche is one of the touchy ones (locksmith, lawyer, rehab, garage door etc) google is way stricter and reinstatement takes longer.
if support isnt replying try the business profile help community on the google forums... sometimes a product expert there can escalate it faster than the normal appeal queue. been more reliable for me than email support honestly.

if you used the new dashboard appeal tool, trying to contact support right now is just gonna get you automated canned responses telling you to wait. if its been over 10 days, check if the site has schema that matches the GBP exactly. sometimes updating the schema and forcing a recrawl via search console kicks the system. but yeah google support is incredibly backed up right now, some of my client listings are taking 3+ weeks just to get a first real response.
