Types of Google Business Profile Suspensions
Not all Google Business Profile suspensions are the same. In fact, there are two main types of suspensions you may encounter:
Your business listing remains visible to the public, but you lose the ability to manage or update your profile. This is often due to a minor issue with your account information. While it's not as severe as a hard suspension, it still requires swift action to regain control.
This is the more serious type of suspension. When a hard suspension occurs, your Google Business Profile is removed entirely from Google Search and Maps. Potential customers won't be able to find you, which can severely impact your business.
In either case, getting reinstated quickly is key to minimizing the impact on your business. The reinstatement process is often more challenging for a hard suspension, but even soft suspensions can be tricky to resolve without the proper guidance.
