Google Business Profile Audit Service
Most Google Business Profile suspensions are preventable. The warning signs are always there — a policy violation in the listing data, an address configuration issue, a phone number risk — but they're invisible until Google acts on them.
A GBP Fixers compliance audit identifies every suspension risk and ranking gap in your current listing before Google's system finds them. Delivered as a professional PDF report with a prioritised action plan within 48 hours.
- ✓ Suspension risk score — know your risk level before it becomes a crisis
- ✓ Compliance check across all policy-critical listing fields
- ✓ Ranking gap analysis vs. your top 3 competitors
- ✓ Priority action plan — fixes ordered by impact
- ✓ Ongoing maintenance checklist included

What the GBP Audit Delivers
A professional PDF report — not a generic checklist. Specific findings from your listing, specific actions to fix them.
Compliance Risk Report
Every policy violation risk identified across your listing — business name compliance, address configuration, category selection, phone number usage, and account history flags. Colour-coded by risk severity.
Suspension Vulnerability Score
A calculated suspension risk score based on the current state of your listing against Google's known enforcement triggers. Identifies your highest-priority fixes.
Ranking Gap Analysis
How your GBP compares to the top 3 competitors in your local pack — profile completeness, review velocity, photo count, keyword coverage, and Q&A activity.
Priority Action Plan
A ranked list of specific changes to make to reduce suspension risk and improve local pack visibility, ordered by impact. Actionable, not theoretical.
Ongoing Compliance Checklist
A monthly maintenance checklist to keep your listing compliant as Google's policies evolve — covering updates, photo cadence, review responses, and profile health signals.
GBP Suspension Risk Assessment — What We Examine
Six critical areas account for over 90% of all GBP suspensions. Our audit reviews all of them:
Business Name
Keyword stuffing in the business name is one of the most common suspension triggers. Google requires the name to match your real-world registered business name exactly.
Audit check: Does your GBP name match your official business registration, signage, and website exactly?
Address Configuration
Service area businesses must hide their address if customers don't visit. Fixed-location businesses must show a verifiable address where staff are present during listed hours.
Audit check: Is your address configuration set correctly for your business model (SAB vs. storefront)?
Primary Category
Wrong category selection is a double risk: it triggers potential suspension and costs you ranking for the searches your customers are actually making.
Audit check: Is your primary category the most accurate match to your core service? Have secondary categories been added?
Phone Number
Phone numbers that appear on multiple business listings signal fraud to Google's algorithm. Tracking numbers, answering service lines, and shared call centres are all high-risk.
Audit check: Is your GBP phone number unique to this listing and not appearing on any other business's Google presence?
Website URL
A website that is down, redirects unexpectedly, or has NAP (Name, Address, Phone) information inconsistent with the GBP listing undermines trust signals.
Audit check: Does your website show the same business name, address, and phone number as your GBP listing?
Review Pattern
Sudden spikes in reviews, a high volume of 1-star reports, or reviews flagged as fake trigger compliance scrutiny. Review gating (only asking happy customers to review) is a policy violation.
Audit check: Is your review acquisition compliant? No incentivised reviews, no gating, no bulk requests?
Compliance Review — The Problem Most Businesses Don't Know They Have
Based on 8,000+ GBP cases, GBP Fixers has found that over 60% of small business Google listings have at least one policy violation risk that could trigger suspension — and the business owners have no idea.
Google's policies have become significantly more detailed since 2022. Changes that were previously ignored — adding a city name to your business name, listing a home address as a storefront, using a tracking phone number — are now actively enforced triggers. Most business owners set up their GBP once and never review it.

Is a GBP Audit Right for You?
You were recently reinstated
Post-recovery, your listing still has the original configuration issues. Without correction, re-suspension is common. An audit confirms your listing is fully compliant before you go live.
You're in a high-scrutiny category
HVAC, plumbing, locksmiths, law firms, healthcare, financial services — these categories face automated scrutiny. Proactive auditing dramatically reduces suspension risk.
You haven't reviewed your listing in 6+ months
Google's policies change regularly. A listing configured correctly 2 years ago may now have compliance violations from policy updates you weren't aware of.
Your ranking has declined without explanation
A sudden ranking drop in the local pack often correlates with a compliance flag that hasn't yet led to suspension — but is suppressing visibility. An audit identifies it.
You recently made significant listing edits
Changing your business name, category, address, or phone number all trigger heightened review. An audit confirms your edits are compliant before Google's system reviews them.
You manage multiple GBP listings
Multi-location businesses and agencies managing client listings need to ensure consistency and compliance across every listing. Bulk audits available for 5+ locations.
