Client Acquired Another GBP and Was Suspended by Google

[solive]

I recently had a client who acquired another business and that business' GBP. The client changed the name on the old GBP to their own, and the profile was subsequently suspended. I submitted an appeal to Google with the client's business license and a utility bill, both showing the client name with the old business' address. However, Google denied this appeal, saying "We checked your account and it appears like your Business Profile isn’t eligible to display on Google because it violates the GBP quality guidelines."

Does anyone have any advice on next steps to take in this situation?

Google are correct.

One business = one GBP

Change the name on the profile and it's no longer the same verified business so will get suspended.
