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...

@garrisonagency nice catch, never saw that "Post to your profile on your behalf"

If you want the Dr's name on the GBP, and assuming he's the only Dr, you could add his name to the GBP listing. For example, AAA Health Clinic: Dr. John Doe. Or, you can leave the original clinic name and create a separate "practitioner listing" with only John Doe, MD as the title (not sure if...

Thanks @ElizabethRule . This temp situation should only last 6 months or so, and I don't think the business is willing to add signage, etc for such a short time. They floated the idea of leaving the old address on GBP; what do you think would happen if Google figures it out? I can't imagine...

You may need to post on the Google help forum and hope an expert can help get a reconsideration. but I'm curious as to why you went SAB if you have a commercial space? Assuming you have good reasons for wanting to stick with the SAB/home address, is that address the actual, legal business...

If it's closed only for 10 days, I would definitely use the special days setting instead of marking temporarily closed. From a user perspective, "temporary" is very indeterminate and casts uncertainty; are they really coming back? When? But knowing it's only closed for x-days lets me know...
