Personal Profiles:
Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) Expert
Award-Winning Google Business Profile Expert, Consultant, Trainer and Speaker
Hello!
I’m a Google Business Profile (GBP) expert and consultant specializing in suspended and disabled profile reinstatement services since 2011. With over 900 cases handled and a reinstatement success rate close to 100% – within the highest in the industry – I have established myself as one of the most trusted authorities on GBP suspensions and disabled penalties.
Over the years, I’ve developed multiple escalation strategies and a deep understanding of Google’s compliance guidelines, which allows me to tackle even the most challenging cases, including policy violations, account restrictions, and appeal processes.
In 2019, I was awarded the status of Google Business Profile Product Expert in recognition of my expertise and contributions to Google Business Profile. My mission is to help businesses regain their visibility and reputation on Google Search and Maps as quickly and smoothly as possible
Through my website, professorm.org, I share comprehensive guides, technical articles, and insights on Google Business Profile suspension, disabled status, reinstatement processes, and policy compliance.
I’m passionate about what I do because I know how much a Google Business Profile means to a business’s success. Whether you’re struggling with a suspension, denied reinstatement, or policy violations, I’m here to help you get your business back on track.
A few highlights about me:
– Over 900 GBP reinstatement cases resolved since 2011.
– Proven success rate close to 100%.
– Expert in Google’s reinstatement and appeals processes.
– Awarded Google Business Profile Product Expert in 2019.
– Deep knowledge of Google’s policies and compliance requirements.
I primarily offer my services in the US, but I work with businesses across the globe
and I was born in same country as these fellow expats:
My family always owned local businesses (stationery shop, jewellers, insurance agency) and I would help in the Summer and Holidays.
However, my parents wanted me to go to University, so I was the first “one” in my family to go.
After university in 2004, I moved to UK with my Girlfriend at the time (and now my beautiful wife) to feel and be more independent, looking for a new adventure.
I’ve worked in crazy big multinationals and started a few businesses. But after the initial buzz of the first 6-12 months albeit successful, I would get bored and felt that something was missing in me to feel fulfilled.
As I have been doing Local SEO since 2007! (time flies), and in 2011, I started a Local Digital Marketing Agency, specialized in Local SEO and Google Local Listings Product (whatever was its name: Google Places, Google+, Google My Business…)
We carried out management services and consultancy work around the world (mainly in the US, UK, Canada, Australia) for businesses of various sizes from micro-enterprises to multinationals until I sold it at the end of 2019, even before the covid-19 pandemic.
Why I sold my profitable Agency? 2 events in my life made me rethink my “path”. First, I found that people with the same genetic condition (Polycystic kidney disease) as me have an average survival age of 54 years old. And I am almost 40… Yet, I believe that I will live many more years than that. Then the second event, my brother died at 39 years of age…
So I started thinking about my mortality, what would be my mark on this world, my legacy?
Also, what good is it to have a big house in a great place, an expensive car… if I am not trying to make a difference in people’s lives.
“Ok, I want to make a difference. How?…”
In 2019, I realised that I had to do something about it! So I sold the agency and started “Professor M”. A dumb thing to do? Financially, probably. But personally, it’s the best thing I ever did.
I hope to make a difference by helping you with Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) and Local SEO.
