How To Pass GBP Appeal

When you submit a suspension appeal for a Google Business Profile, you only have one shot to upload evidence when you submit an appeal. If you are denied, you only have one shot to re-appeal.

That means you better make sure your profile is correct and your evidence is correct if you want to get your profile (and reviews) back to normal!

What types of evidence does Google want to see?

– Utility bills
– Business licensure
– Business registrations
– Leases or insurance policies
– Photos of signage

The biggest thing: your business name and address must be shown on your provided evidence as it appears on your Google listing.

Your profile must also comply with all GBP guidelines.

If you want to take the stress out of studying the guidelines and making sure everything is exactly correct – reach out! Sam is happy to help, from simple evidence review to fully managed appeal process and handling communication with Google.
