Garage door repair: Google Business Profile suspended

Suspension-risk level for this category: High · Business model: Usually a service-area business: hide the address and set a realistic service area.

Triggers we see most for garage door repair profiles

1. One of the categories Google watches closely for fake listings
2. Virtual office or PO box as address
3. Multiple listings with near-identical names

Also check the general triggers

• Business name exactly as on your signage, website and registration, no extra keywords or cities
• Address: no virtual offices, PO boxes or coworking desks unless staffed and signed
• Same name, phone and website on the profile, your site and invoices
• Don't edit name, address, category and phone all at once; big edits trigger re-verification
• One profile per business per location; remove duplicates instead of creating new ones

Appeal steps

1. Fix every trigger above before appealing; Google re-checks the profile as it is now
2. Open the appeal from Google's Business Profile appeals tool while signed in as the owner
3. Upload evidence: business registration, a utility bill or lease with the exact name and address, a photo of permanent signage or branded vehicle
4. Category-specific evidence: business licence, branded vehicle, supplier invoices
5. After reinstatement, avoid editing the profile for about 2 weeks
