Working on a GBP in need of TLC. Things that need to be added/updated:
Prior to taking over this GBP, it was suspended on 1/21/26 for changing from service area to a real physical storefront address that the business services customers at. The suspension was appealed with proof of photos of the business, along with proof of business license, ID, insurance, and utility bill and appeal was denied on 1/27/26. Posted to Google forum on 1/29, advised to file second appeal and got GBP back on 2/3. Once it was no longer suspended, owner immediately removed physical address, returned to service area, for fear of being suspended again. So, this GBP is currently a service area only, even though it has a physical storefront, and I would like to add the address back. But that feels too risky.
** this GBP has 155 reviews, 5 star rating, and averages 1-2 reviews/week for last 18 months.
** Posted on Reddit too, but adding here in case it helps someone.
