Common Violations & Issues We Resolve
Your Google Business Profile didn’t just vanish into thin air—there’s always a reason.
After handling hundreds of reinstatement cases across Australia, we’ve seen every violation Google throws at businesses.
From inaccurate NAP data to keyword-stuffed business names, we know exactly what triggers profile removal and how to fix it. Here are the most common issues we tackle:
Incomplete Address or Service Area Details
Physical businesses need crystal-clear address information, while service-area businesses must define their coverage zones precisely. Vague or incorrect location data triggers profile removal. We ensure your listing accurately represents your business location or service territory.
Inconsistent NAP Data
When your business name, address, and phone number aren't aligned across your website, social profiles, and online directories, Google flags your profile as potentially fraudulent. We conduct a comprehensive audit of your digital footprint and ensure your NAP information is perfectly consistent across every platform.
Keyword-Stuffed Business Names
Cramming irrelevant keywords into your business name violates Google's guidelines. Your business name must match your registered trading name—not be a keyword dumping ground. We review your business name and align it with Google's policies to prevent penalties.
Poor Quality or Inappropriate Media
Low-resolution, irrelevant, or copyrighted images and videos in your profile can trigger removal. We audit your visual content, ensuring everything is high-quality, business-relevant, and copyright-compliant. We also provide clear guidelines to prevent future violations.
Fake Reviews or Review Manipulation
Generating fake reviews or selectively soliciting only positive feedback seriously violates Google's policies. We help you develop ethical review strategies and respond authentically to customer feedback, building genuine trust and credibility.
Problematic Website URL Redirects
If your website URL redirects to unrelated domains or irrelevant pages, Google treats this as suspicious activity. We ensure your website URL is accurate, directs users to appropriate landing pages, and provides a seamless experience for customers clicking through from your profile.
Misleading Business Information
Providing false information about your services, qualifications, or pricing can result in profile removal. Transparency builds customer trust. We review your profile content and ensure it accurately represents your business capabilities and offerings.
Website Not Matching Your Profile Data
Your website works in pair with your GBP, and the information found on it needs to showcase your activity and match the data provided to Google. We help you improve your website to pass Google checks.
Non-Compliant Posts or Offers
Using offensive language, irrelevant content, or excessive promotional material in your posts or offers breaches Google's guidelines. We review your content strategy and ensure it's informative, engaging, and policy-compliant whilst balancing promotional messaging with valuable information.
Visibility and Trust at Stake
A disabled Google Business Profile means your business is invisible on Google Maps and Search, making it harder for local customers to find you.
You may be wondering, “How long will my profile remain offline?”. It could be permanently unless you address any violations.
In most cases, the uncertainty of a disabled Google Maps listing disrupts your marketing efforts and undermines trust with your audience.
When automated responses from Google offer no clear resolution, you’re left battling both technical and compliance challenges that can stifle your growth.

The Hidden Costs of Being Offline
Every day your business remains disabled, you lose potential leads and revenue.
- More than 75% of people who search locally on their phone visit a business within 24 hours
- More than 25% of those searches turn into actual sales
When your Google Business Profile is offline, you’re invisible to these potential customers. They’re searching for exactly what you offer but finding your competitors instead. Every day you’re offline is money walking out the door.
Google My Business recovery issues can leave you feeling powerless, especially when you’re not sure how to maintain compliance in the future.

Can I Recover My Google Business Profile Myself?
Sure, you can try—just like you can perform your own root canal or service your car’s transmission.
Google provides reinstatement request forms and help articles, but navigating their system is like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with instructions written in ancient Sanskrit.
The reinstatement process isn’t just filling out a form and hoping for the best. You need to identify exactly what went wrong (Google’s about as helpful as a chocolate teapot when it comes to specifics), fix the underlying issues, gather the right documentation, and prepare a winning recovery case.
Most business owners attempt this themselves and end up going around in circles, frustrated, confused, and no closer to getting their profile back online.
That’s where we come in.
The Google Business Profile reinstatement game isn’t something you learn from a YouTube video or a “quick tips” blog post. It requires knowing Google’s policies inside and out, understanding their review process, and having the persistence to keep pushing when automated responses bounce back like a boomerang.
At Search Scope, this is what we do every single day.


The Result?
Your business is back where customers can actually find it.
With Search Scope handling your reinstatement, your Google Business Profile will be restored, putting you back on Google Search and Maps where you belong. Customers can find you again, your phone starts ringing, and your online presence stops looking like a ghost town.
We don’t just get you back online—we optimise everything to prevent future dramas. With a properly reinstated and optimised profile, you can get back to running your business instead of wrestling with Google’s bureaucracy.
Pricing and Guarantee
We offer competitive pricing and will always deliver.
Update April 2025: Google support has been under significant pressure lately, and response times for the US market can range from a few days, up to a few weeks.
In Australia, however, most cases are typically resolved within a couple of days, but recovery is taking more time than earlier this year.
We’ve updated our pricing due to the increasing volume of requests and to ensure we focus our efforts on serious business owners who are committed to resolving their Google profile issues efficiently.
No results, no charge — if we can’t get your Google Business Profile reinstated, you don’t pay a cent.

Amazing service. Dorian was super helpful and had a deep understanding about getting my Google Business Profile reinstated, even when it seemed impossible.
He had the process down pat and only 1 day after the request was submitted, my Google profile was back up and thankfully still had all of the reviews. 110% worth the money and I highly recommend.

My GBP was down and it is a nightmare to have the review request approved.

Although google was not easy to deal with, Dorian's advice made it as easy as possible.

How does it works?
We offer two ways to get started, depending on how ready you are and how much support you need:
1. Fill Out a Quick Form to Get Started (Most Clients)
Most clients don’t need a call to get their listing reinstated.
Instead, you can fill out a short form that captures everything we need to evaluate your case. Once submitted:
We’ll review your answers and confirm if your listing is eligible
You’ll receive a detailed email outlining your reinstatement strategy
We’ll request manager access to your Google Business Profile and tell you exactly which documents to upload to a shared Google Drive folder
Once everything’s ready:
We’ll submit the appeal on your behalf, or
If you’ve already been in touch with Google, we’ll give you a ready-to-send appeal template that matches your case
This is the fastest and most efficient way to resolve your suspension.
2. Book a Consultation Call (If You Need Reassurance or Have Questions)
If you prefer to speak with someone before moving forward, you can still book a 15-minute consultation call.
Before the call:
You’ll be asked to answer a few quick questions so we can prepare
We’ll use the time to explain what happened, assess eligibility, and walk you through the process
Calls are limited to protect our availability, so we recommend using the form unless your case is complex or you need one-on-one guidance.
How do you handle my business documents and protect my privacy?
We treat your privacy and business data with the highest level of confidentiality. All documents you share with us—whether it’s your ASIC registration, utility bills, photos, or internal communications—are stored securely, used only for the purpose of your reinstatement, and never shared with anyone outside our team.
We don’t outsource. We don’t use shady freelancers. Every file stays in-house and is handled by professionals who understand the sensitivity of your business identity.
Once your case is resolved, we permanently delete sensitive files from our system upon request.
What does this * means next to the $550 incl. GST price?
The 550 incl. GST pricing applies to cases where the appeal process is still available—meaning you either haven’t submitted a second appeal yet or haven’t exchanged multiple follow-up emails with Google regarding the refusal and “Redress options.”
If the appeal path has been exhausted and Google support is no longer responding, pricing may vary based on case complexity. These situations require additional work, including escalation to higher-level Google contacts.
This applies to cases where the business owners have exhausted all their appeal options before contacting professionals.
