    Suspended Business Profile Notice in Help Center

    Can't do it from the profile either. There are no other users. At this point, I'm convinced it only applies to that listing, so I'm not too concerned. Also, I'm not sweating it because retirement is right around the corner. Can't wait; I'm so sick of dealing with Google!

    Suspended Business Profile Notice in Help Center

    Okay, I think I found it. I had to go into Update your browser to manage your Business Profile - Google Business Profile Help and click to view (not edit) each location. One was an old unverified listing that was a home address for a former client who had another GBP for his actual business...

    Does "appointment required" impact rankings?

    Sounds like a good idea for a test! :D

    Does "appointment required" impact rankings?

    Does using the "appointment required" attribute in GBP impact rankings? I don't know if it's still true, but I believe Google used to favor listing businesses that were actually open during the times someone searched. So for example, with all else being equal, will using "appointment required"...

    Do Service Areas Impact Local Rankings? Darren says YES, Joy says NO

    Okay, so if an SAB client has moved but wants to rank at the new address, is there anyway around this short of showing the address?
