Seeking Guidance on GBP Agency Account Structure - Suspended Profile & Lack of Organization Account
In March 2024 we had been a "strategic partner" with another agency and in December parted ways. We have now discovered the deficiency in how this was set up.
We did make an attempt to verify a Google Business Profile for our own agency but that profile was , and has been living in the suspended state, since March of 2024.
Because we have been able to bring on our own accounts and manage them we didn't realize that we didn't have a Google Business Profile Organization Account. All of our client profiles are owned by a single individual's Google account and our suspended profile cannot be used as the foundation for an Organization Account.
Do we set up a brand new Organization Account?

Do we set up a brand new Organization Account?
- If so, how does this impact the 60 client accounts we currently manage?
- Can we seamlessly transfer these profiles to the new Organization Account?
- Will Google flag this mass transfer as suspicious behavior and potentially cause more issues?
- Is it worth the effort to go through the verification process for this profile. Can this profile be the foundation for an Organization Account?
- Given the circumstances, is having a GBP for our own agency even necessary right now, or should we prioritize the client account structure?
