If you are looking at this page is because you see one of these “Disabled” notices on your Google Business Profile:

• “This location is disabled because it contains errors or doesn’t comply with formatting guidelines. Contact support to get this location back on Google Maps.” – similar to the images below:

• “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” -similar to the image below:

It means Google found something in your Google Business Profile 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 suspension notice issue but it is applied to businesses profiles normally waiting for verification, just verified, or Google AI doubts its a real business.

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
• Found duplicates

In total, there are at least 75 reasons/issues that can suspend/disable a profile. Not allowing your profile to be reinstated by Google.

How to Fix a Disabled Google Business Profile (Google My Business) according to Google

1. Review the Google Business Profile (Google My Business) guidelines.
2. Sign in to your Google Business Profile account, then review your profile and make sure it complies with the guidelines.
3. After you’re sure your location(s) comply with the guidelines, you can request reinstatement.

Note: Even though the reinstatement process can be very frustrating, please note, you should never: remove the profile from the dashboard (you will lose all the reviews); create a new profile (high chances of getting suspended); and contact support multiple times or submit multiple reinstatements yourself (will only delay your case).
