Hello,

I manage 4 locations at G00gle business for one company and one of them got suspended yesterday:


Here is a message I got over email:
Your Business Profile on G00gle has been suspended because it was flagged for suspicious activity.

What would you recommend to do to reactivate it assuming that this location doesn't have any storefront or a business license (legal address) attached to it. It was created purely for local SEO in a location. Should I just register another one?

Please advice.

I think you can get it - because the listing which got suspended due to quality issue - they are very hard or not possible.
But with suspicious activity you can get it back.

It's depend which category listing you have - If this is a normal category then they can active it via email only or by Store front image only.

GMB listings can get suspended for a variety of reasons – many of the reasons have to do with spammy tactics or if the GMB listing owner breaks Google My Business Guidelines. Google can also give you a Manual Suspension if they review your listing and find an issue with it.

Email them ask what was wrong. correct it. They will manually review it and approve.

How does google verify info? If you send them a license, utility bills, there is a website connected to the gmb, hidden address, address is real. What can cause them not to reinstate?
Which info do they try to validate or which documents actually matter?
