Warning Sign 1
Your Category Drifted from Reality
Adding broad or mismatched categories to chase traffic triggers algorithmic review. Stick to what you genuinely offer — specificity beats volume.
Warning Sign 2
Your Address Looks Suspicious
A virtual office, UPS Store, or address mismatched from your website raises hard flags. Google cross-checks your location against web signals constantly.
Warning Sign 3
Sudden Spike in Reviews or Edits
Rapid review velocity or frequent business name edits mimic manipulation patterns. Even legitimate changes can trigger automated suspension reviews.
What to Do
✅Audit your primary category monthly
✅Match your GBP address exactly to your website
✅Never edit your business name more than once per quarter
✅Run a free GBP health check before issues escalate
