Local home renovation companies that rely on Google search and Google Maps for lead generation often suffer a major setback when Google suspends or disables their Google Business Profiles. That was the reality for our client, a small, locally owned home renovation company specializing in bathroom and kitchen renovations, cabinet renovations, and cabinet refinishing. For them, the stakes were just too high.
Their Google Business Profile, before its suspension, ranked #1 on Google Maps for leading construction and home renovation keywords in its local market. So, it wasn’t just about appealing the suspension but getting the client’s profile back to the top of Google Maps and search.
The Google Business Profile Suspension Audit:
Our Google Business Profile reinstatement specialists audited the suspended listing and found a major issue. The client operated the business from their home and listed their home address, which was a clear violation of Google’s policy around business profile eligibility to be listed on Maps.
When a home-based business is suspended, the obvious solution might appear to be hiding the address and switching the profile to a Service Area Business (SAB). But in this case, that wasn’t an option.
Our Suspended Business Profile Specialists understood that the key question wasn’t simply whether the business operated from a residential property; it was more about whether the business had a legitimate, dedicated business presence at the location listed on Maps and the fine prints of Google’s eligibility rules.
After the detailed audit of the profile, the business operation, and the physical location, we understood exactly what needed to be done and how to address the eligibility and suspension concerns.
The Fix:
Map Mech’s Google Business Profile Reinstatement Specialists worked closely with the client to establish the actual nature of the business operation at the property.
Instead of simply trying to conceal the residential address, we focused on demonstrating that the business had a dedicated office and clearly defined area used solely for business purposes within the property.
The objective was to give Google a complete and accurate picture of how the business operated and the boundaries of the business within the property whose address was listed on Google Maps.
We worked with the client to assemble the appropriate evidence supporting the business’s physical presence, its dedicated business area, and its legitimate operation from the location.
We also addressed the issues associated with the deceptive content penalty and suspension, ensuring that the appeal dealt with the underlying concerns rather than simply requesting that Google restore the listing.
The Result:
The Google Business Profile was successfully appealed and recovered.
But reinstatement wasn’t the only end goal. The client had previously established strong Google Maps and local visibility for some of the most important construction and home renovation searches in their market.
So after recovery, our team worked with the client to rebuild the profile’s visibility and get the business back to the top of Google Maps where it belonged.
The result was more than simply getting a suspended profile back online.
We helped the client recover the Google Maps presence that was directly contributing to their new-business pipeline.
