Is it safe to get access to GBP that was previously disabled?

[prasadmahes]

Hi there, I have a prospect who wants to sign up but their GBP was disabled previously when they did a name change for their business. It's active again now but I was wondering if getting access to it as a manager will pose a risk to all my other clients that I have access to?

It shouldn't. To be safe, wait a few days after the profile was reinstated to add yourself as a manager.

Also, kind of unrelated but useful, you can use this link when signed in to your account to double-check it has not been restricted, which could cause a suspension if you had restrictions and added the email to the GBP.

I set up a new Google Account for each client ideally (if you aren't using an Agency GBP account).

At the very least I limit the number of clients managed by each account to mitigate any potential problem being applied to all the locations in any one account.

It takes more time to set up, and you probably won't have an issue, but I try to avoid problems before they happen where I can.

Thank you!

Thanks for the tip!

@ElizabethRule I didn't have that link in my toolbelt, thanks for that also!
