If you are looking at this article is because you see this “Disabled” notice on your Google Business Profile:
- “Your business is not visible to customers”, followed by “Your access has been disabled because this profile doesn’t follow the guidelines. Edit your business info, and learn how to regain access. Learn more” – similar to the image below:
It means Google found something in your Google Business Profile that violates or potentially violates their guidelines. Punishing you with disabled status and making your profile disappear from Google Search and Maps.
This issue is similar to the suspended profile issue but it is applied normally by Google AI when it doubts your business is real. Sometimes, it happens to businesses profiles normally waiting for verification.
This is what Google says about disabled Business Profiles: “When a profile violates our guidelines, it’s disabled, which means the public can’t access the profile anymore.“
Why was your Google Business Profile disabled?
Normally, it’s a Google AI penalty and the main reasons are:
- Finds conflicting information about your business on the web (directories, Social Networks, your website)
- Issues with your business name
- Issues with your address
- Spammy business category
- Found duplicates
In total, there are at least 75 reasons/issues that can disable a Google Business Profile. Not allowing your profile to be reinstated by Google. Please note, Google does not advise the reasons why your business was disabled, even if you ask:
