These are the most common causes I see:<\/p>\n<div class=\"wa-3 wa-swipe\">\n<div class=\"wa-card\">\n<h3>Keywords in the name<\/h3>\n<p>&#8220;Hair Salon Bratislava Cheap Petra&#8221; instead of the real business name. One of the most common guideline violations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wa-card\">\n<h3>Virtual office or coworking address<\/h3>\n<p>An address where the business doesn&#8217;t actually serve customers or have a permanent location. Google can tell.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wa-card\">\n<h3>Showing an address for an on-site service<\/h3>\n<p>A plumber or cleaning company shows a home address although customers never come there. It should be set up as a service area.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wa-card\">\n<h3>Several profiles for one business<\/h3>\n<p>Duplicate profiles, new profiles after a rejection, or a separate profile for each service.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wa-card\">\n<h3>Sudden changes to details<\/h3>\n<p>Changing the name, address or category triggers a fresh review, and the profile gets stuck in suspension.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wa-card\">\n<h3>Bought or fake reviews<\/h3>\n<p>Reviews from friends on request, reviews in exchange for discounts or bought packages. Google removes them and can restrict the profile.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wa-mt\"><strong>What others get wrong:<\/strong> they create a new profile instead of appealing, write &#8220;we didn&#8217;t break any rules&#8221; in the appeal without a single piece of evidence, or pay someone who promises reinstatement within 24 hours through &#8220;contacts at Google&#8221;.

I handle local SEO and Business Profiles for single locations and multi-location businesses. I don&#8217;t use bought reviews, keywords in the name or &#8220;contacts at Google&#8221;, because that&#8217;s exactly what gets profiles suspended.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wa-btns\"><a class=\"wa-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/wooacademy.sk\/kontakt\/\">Free assessment<\/a><a class=\"wa-btn o\" href=\"mailto:info@wooacademy.sk\">info@wooacademy.sk<\/a><\/div>\n<p class=\"wa-mt\">More short videos on SEO and GEO are on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@wooacademy8573\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WooAcademy YouTube channel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions about suspended Business Profiles<\/h2>\n<details>\n<summary>Why did Google suspend my Business Profile?<\/summary>\n<p>Most often because of keywords in the name, an address without real premises, a displayed address for a business that travels to customers, duplicate profiles or a sudden change of details. Google usually doesn&#8217;t state the exact cause, so it has to be found in the profile.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How much does reinstatement cost?<\/summary>\n<p>One profile \u20ac190; multiple locations (up to 5 profiles) \u20ac390. Prices are final; we are not VAT registered.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do you guarantee reinstatement?<\/summary>\n<p>No. Only Google decides on reinstatement, and nobody outside Google can guarantee it. I guarantee the appeal will be filed correctly, with a fixed profile and evidence. If a business clearly breaks the guidelines, I&#8217;ll say so upfront.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Should I create a new profile?<\/summary>\n<p>No. A new profile for the same business is another guideline violation and often leads to that one being suspended too. The right path is to fix the original profile and appeal.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does Google take to decide?<\/summary>\n<p>Usually a few days, sometimes several weeks. If Google asks for more documents or video verification, it takes longer.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>What if Google rejects the appeal?<\/summary>\n<p>We look at the reason. If the evidence was missing or weak, it can be added. If the business doesn&#8217;t meet the guidelines (for example, it has no premises customers visit), the profile setup needs to change rather than appealing again.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Will I lose my reviews?<\/summary>\n<p>When a profile is reinstated, reviews usually come back with it. Reviews Google judges to be fake may be removed, and those won&#8217;t return.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<p><em>Google Business Profile reinstatement is handled by <a href=\"https:\/\/wooacademy.sk\/o-nas\/seo-specialista-milan-frano\/\">Milan Fra\u0148o<\/a>, WooAcademy, Bratislava.
