Suspension
Also known as: GBP suspension · suspended listing · disabled profile
A suspension is when Google removes or restricts a Google Business Profile because it believes the profile violates its guidelines or cannot be verified. A suspended profile stops appearing normally in Search and Maps until it is reinstated.
What this means for your profile
A suspension is a signal, not a verdict. Identifying the type and cause before acting is what makes recovery possible.
