Yes, based on my limited search it seems your listing doesn't have any underlying issue. If local permits allow you to have a permanent sign and take clients I would definitely go that route and show the address. Just be aware that as soon as you change it, you'll likely trigger a suspension...

A few questions: how long has the profile been at this location? I assume you updated the old profile when you moved? Were you ranking before the move? The problem with an old verification address is usually related to an SAB moving to another address, I'm not aware of issues with changing from...

Several pages I have are still ranking well. Some others I haven't been tracking as closely, so it's hard to say.

Not a filtering expert, but it does look like it's filtered to me. The two shops may only be 150 feet apart. Your second search doesn't even show the client for me. In fact i had to zoom down to just her building with no competitor in the viewport before she showed up. "floral design in...

Before you do anything you should fix Emperor's listing. It's showing an address, which is clearly a residence, which means it is ripe for suspension.

We need more info to understand what's going on. It's well known that GBP hours can affect rankings, but only during the time of actual search. So if you're closed when I'm searching and your competitors are open, they're more likely to show up. But if I search when both of you are open, hours...

Definitely nail these guys, they multiply like roaches. Interestingly, Elite Hillsboro, when I clicked their website it took me to yourhelper.org, but to my own city, which is nowhere near Oregon. Hey, at least they're doing us a favor by telling us they're lead gen right on the website...

I don't recall anything special, just requested reviews be transferred. But from the reply you posted, seems like they're still thinking you want to do something with the suspended profile. Maybe just focus on the new profile and request reviews from xxx profile be transferred. I assume you...

I had a similar situation a couple years ago, profile was suspended and appeals were denied. A product expert on the help forum looked into it and suggested starting a new profile, then ask Google for reviews to be transferred from the suspended listing, and that worked.

So how did you get it removed, any tips?

Google gave you the reason, policy violation. You'll need to ensure the profile is in FULL compliance. Yes, that covers a lot, but if you provide more details we might be able to give more specific advice. What type of business is it (category)? Is it a service area business or brick and...

This was a known bug for SAB's. If you move locations it still keeps your original address in the system. That's why you're still ranking in the old location. The approach of trying to verify with the address shown was certainly not going to work without signage. The best approach would have...

I wouldn't assume the Voice number is the issue for the second suspension (although I might stop using it for any outgoing calls, just to be safe). More likely is that you're a Service Area Business/hidden address. These are often not set up correctly, and even when they are, Google views them...

Well, it must be true if it's on the internet :)

You can report using the google redressal form: https://support.google.com/business/contact/business_redressal_form You can also have users "suggest an edit" directly on the maps. A trusted google account usually carries more weight with these edits. On the other hand, if the competitor shares...
