What Suspension Means
Your listing is no longer visible on Google Maps and Search. A suspension means Google has flagged your profile for a potential policy violation or quality concern.
Common Issue Patterns
- Address eligibility format problems may be one possible cause.
- Lack of verifiable permanent signage is commonly checked for storefronts.
- Recent sweeping edits to core business data can trigger reviews.
