How to Reactivate a Suspended Google Business Profile – A Step-by-Step Guide

Why Google Suspends Business Profiles

Google can suspend your profile for multiple reasons, such as:

  • Violating Google’s business profile guidelines

  • Incorrect or unverifiable business information

  • Keyword stuffing in the business name

  • Using a virtual address or co-working space without signage

  • Sudden changes in NAP (Name, Address, Phone) details

  • Multiple profiles for the same location or business

  • Suspicious activity detected from your login

There are two types of suspension:

  1. Soft Suspension – Your listing is visible but you can’t manage it.

  2. Hard Suspension – Your listing is completely removed from Search and Maps.

 

Steps to Recover a Suspended Google Business Profile

Step 1: Identify the Violation
Review Google’s guidelines and try to understand what may have caused the suspension.

Step 2: Gather Proof
Before submitting a reinstatement request, collect these documents:

  • Business license or registration

  • Utility bills in your business name

  • Street signage photo of your location

  • Office interior and exterior photos

  • Any professional certifications or GST certificate (if applicable)

Step 3: Submit Reinstatement Form
Fill out Google’s official Reinstatement Request Form carefully. Attach all required documents and write a clear explanation of your business.

Step 4: Be Patient
Google usually replies within 3–5 business days. If you don’t hear back, follow up politely. If denied, review the feedback and correct the issue before reapplying.
