Is your business name the problem?

A name with extra words is the most common reason Google suspends a profile. Type the name as it shows on Google. This runs on this page only.

What Google usually flags

Google does not always say which one applies. These are what it usually flags:

A business name with extra keywords, a tagline or a city added to your real name.
An address that is not a real, staffed place, such as a PO box or a virtual office.
A category, hours or website that do not match the real business.
A recent change to the name, address or category, or a profile that looks like a duplicate of another.

Evidence checklist (0 of 7 ready)

Tick what you have. Google asks you to show the business is real, at that address.

I go to my customers. I have no shop or office they visit.

A photo of the storefront or building with your sign and the street number in view
Photos inside: the counter, the work area, your stock or equipment
Your business license or registration, showing the name and address
A recent utility bill, lease or tax letter in the business name, at the same address
A business card, invoice or receipt showing the name and address
Your website showing the same name, address and phone as the profile
A photo of you or your staff at work, wearing or standing by the business name

Your ticks are saved on this device only. We never see them.

Appeal note to copy

Your note

Hello,

My business profile "[business name exactly as on your sign]" at [street address] was suspended, and I am asking for it to be reviewed.

About the business: [what you do, and how long you have been open].

What I changed or checked: [for example, I removed extra words from the name so it matches my sign].

I am attaching: [list the proof you are sending]

I am the owner and you can reach me at [phone or email].

Thank you for taking another look.

Google decides every case and gives no timeline. A good note and clear proof help, but nobody can promise the result.

How to appeal

Open your Business Profile on Google and read the notice. It names the guideline Google says was broken.
Fix what the notice points to on Google first, for example the name, address or category.
Gather proof that the business is real: a photo of the storefront with its sign, a utility bill or license showing the name and address, and photos inside.
Send Google’s reinstatement request form.
Wait for Google’s email. Google decides every case, so we cannot speed it up or promise the result.
