Local · Maps · Verification
Stay visible on Maps, and ready for local ads.
Suspension recovery, verification, duplicate cleanup and ongoing profile hygiene — the unglamorous work that decides whether local ads have anything to stand on.
- 01
Suspended with no explanation
The profile disappears from Maps overnight, the appeal form gives no detail, and resubmitting the same information repeatedly makes reinstatement harder.
- 02
Verification that never completes
Postcards that never arrive, video verification rejected without a reason, and a listing stuck in limbo while competitors rank.
- 03
Duplicates splitting the signal
Two or three listings for one location, each with partial reviews and inconsistent data, dividing the authority between them.
- 04
Ownership lost with a former employee
The profile is controlled by an email address nobody has access to, and the recovery flow keeps routing to that address.
What we do
-
Suspension recovery
Diagnosis of the likely cause, correction of the underlying compliance issue, and a single well-documented appeal rather than repeated blind resubmissions.
-
Verification support
Preparing the evidence Google actually looks for, and handling video verification so it passes the first time.
-
Duplicate and merge cleanup
Consolidating listings so reviews, photos and citation signals point at one authoritative profile.
-
Ongoing profile management
Categories, services, hours, products, photos and Q&A kept current, and reviews responded to in the customer's language.
Local ads are only as good as the profile behind them
Local Services and Maps ads inherit the trust signals of the Business Profile they sit on. A suspended, duplicated or half-verified profile does not just cost you organic Maps visibility — it undermines every euro of local ad spend running alongside it.
That is why this work usually comes before campaigns, not after.
One good appeal beats five fast ones
The single most common mistake we see is repeated resubmission. Each rejected appeal makes the next one harder, and nothing about the underlying problem has changed. We diagnose the likely cause first — category mismatch, address compliance, service-area setup, review manipulation flags — fix it, then appeal once with evidence.
After reinstatement
Profiles that have been suspended once are reviewed more aggressively afterwards. We set a maintenance cadence that keeps the profile compliant: accurate hours, honest categories, regular posts, and review responses written in the customer’s language rather than machine-translated.
Selected results
- A written diagnosis of the current profile state, with the likely cause of any issue
- Appeal or verification handled end to end, with evidence prepared
- Duplicate listings resolved and ownership transferred into your control
- A maintenance cadence for posts, photos, hours and review responses
- Local ads readiness check before any Maps ad spend starts
Questions
Can you guarantee a suspended profile will come back?
No, and anyone who guarantees it is guessing. What we can do is identify the likely cause, fix it properly, and make one well-evidenced appeal instead of several weak ones.
How long does reinstatement usually take?
Anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on the cause and the queue. Repeated appeals make it slower, not faster.
We lost access with a former employee. Is that recoverable?
Usually yes, through Google's ownership request flow. It takes time and documentation, and it is worth doing before building any local ads on top of the profile.
