Thanks for the assistance here! Is it better to use a home address, or a coworking space address (and then hide it) for a payroll business where I visit customers?
@@SteadyDemand Ben, what about a services offered business such as pressure washing or landscaping. Should we hide our address if the business address is at a residence? I've read through the guidelines twice and that was the only possible issue I could find and did not realize turning the address off would even be a thing until I read this comment.
google business seems to be like a one way street , the have suspended my business listing , un verified my business , in mere seconds ... i have been in a war with them for over 2 years ... you would think listing yr small business on google maps would be a simple and easy way for customers to find you , you would think google maps and business listings would be a simple and easy process. the answer is a Hard NO .... 2 years i have battled google, countless emails, video calls , emails, on and on and on .... No small business , or corporate company should have to deal with so many rules and guidelines, procedures in order to have customers find you business ..... such a simple thing for a new sole proprietor business , or a person to be self employed and advertise in this digital internet world has no become a major headache and waste of time and energy. i dont have a store front , my business is run out of my service vehicle, So how in the world does a company list on google maps with out a physical Location ? make a video step by step on how to list a Business that has now store or office space !!! show me how to list my company with out a address ... and list only the service location i operate in ...
Hi Ben, please can I ask a question? I've asked Google Support and followed their advice but I've now had a profile suspended. I work for a business which offers services in venues owned by other businesses. I'm sure you used to be able to say on GMB that you offered a service inside another venue to allow for this situation. But now it seems not, so Google Support told me to create a profile for each different location which I've done. Therefore I'm entering the same address as another business, e.g. a hotel or a leisure centre. Do you think this is the correct way to set it up?
i have a few questions. 1. does my business has to be registered? 2. I have a home studio and online business, and work from home, can I have e a google business account if I work from home?
I have a business and without any reason my business profile has been suspended and most rediculious thin is that google doesn't telling me that why my profile is suspended.....
Wow was it really this easy to ruin somebody's life? To just push that little report button!? Life is not worth living if it is this easy for someone else to tear it into pieces.
BEN CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME WITH MY COMPAINIES BUSINESS PAGE, I'VE CONTACTED THEM VIA THE FORM LAST WEEK AND HAVE NOT HEARD THEM. WE ARE A SERVICE COMPANY AND TRAVEL TO OUR CUSTOMER WE DO NOT HAVE A STORE FRONT. THE GMB HAS BEEN UP FOR YEARS WITH NO ISSUES, THEN ALL OF SUDDEN SUSPENDED FOR SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY. CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ANY HELP TO GET US REINSTATED. THANK YOU
Thank for the great video. My question is: I have an online business without a physical store, do I qualify for the Google business profile? Is that the reason I have been rejected by Google?
Hi Ben. I’m in the process of moving across the country and re-establishing my business. I made the mistake of entering a non-address as I don’t have one yet (1 in process of moving) , and I didn’t want to list my home, for safety issues. Google suspended my business and now I have to appeal to get it re-established. I do not have an office or address yet, nor utility bills in my business name yet, nor local licensure. My main concerns: 1: Loosing my hard earned and and organically established google reviews-these are super important and we’re collected over the course of the last ten years of business! I’m a holistic healthcare practitioner and these are the main part of how I’m able to attract new clients. This would be devastating to lose. It may take me months-6-9? To reestablish my business and have an office with an address and a utility bill, and a local business license. Q: is there any amount of time in which I need to get this suspension appeal in? Will my reviews remain? 2: do they deny peoples attempts to get suspension lifted, often? I’m guessing Google is all AI at this point. Is there a human who can help me? Thank you.
we have been trying to get our cafe listed and keep getting rejected and with no explanation, it is ridiculous, we open in 4 days and have no presence on Google, can you help. the cafe is Thymes Five in Ashburton Melbourne Australian
Hello, I also have the same problem. I'm also managing multiple business account on Google Business but for some reason recently I create a new Business Account for my mother Boutique, I've filled up the address correctly and the Brand Name as it is. And somehow I kept getting banned, this is very frustrating since Google Costumer Service hotline can't be contacted either.
My profile got suspended literally after I created it! Even after watching this video my profile followed every guideline. Why on earth was it suspended???
I was just flagged for "suspicious" activity whatever that means. I wanted to put my email address on my profile instead of a phone number cause I got NOTHING but spam with my phone number once I put it on google.
I want to open up my jewelry business online, but do not want to add my actual address. Your saying that I can't use a P.O. Box for my online business?
Muy bien pero no encuentro información en español, ingles entiendo muy poco, me suspendieron mi perfil y a envié el formulario estoy en espera que me contesten.
hello, I am writing to you from Turkey, has a friend of mine sent you your link? I have a business account, I do not unhook it, I think there is spam, but I wrote it on the real Google help platform 3 times, but I have not yet reached the result, thanks for your help
this is not at all helpful. I changed nothing and follow all guidlines. Why doesn't google tell you what they think is the violation instead of asking us to look and see nothing wrong

Thank you for this. I wish he would have mentioned this in the video.
Home or co-working work, hide address is mandatory. But, for we-work you need a dedicated office with signage

If it is all online and you do not goto customers then you are not eligible for GBP.
I have a business and without any reason my business profile has been suspended and most rediculious thin is that google doesn't telling me that why my profile is suspended.....
I was verifying my account and it said my business is suspended. Can you tell me why? I'm not understanding what makes it suspended.

If you are online only and do not see customers in person, you would not qualify.

Your reviews are safe, they will stil be there when you get reinstated, there are humans at Google that do not have a way to be called.

Looks like you have a permanently closed profile.
thank you.

Correct you cannot use a PO Box, you can use your home and hide the address however.
Google is getting ridiculous. I updated the hours on my business profiles and they were suspended because of it.
How to get business id when it get suspended?

How about if your a mobile services?
Yes even if a mobile service.
