Hoping for a steer from people who do this regularly.
Business: Craig Stamper Psychic — a service-area business in central Arkansas. I'm a psychic medium and spiritual life coach, practicing 45+ years, LLC registered in Arkansas since February 2023.
Profile ID: 16996619388163800363
Disabled: April 7, 2024. Reason given: "Business Profile doesn't exist."
What I believe caused it: the profile showed my home address as though clients visited it. There's no storefront and no signage — I work by phone, by video, and by traveling to clients.
What has since been corrected (September 2026): it's now a service-area business with the street address hidden and a service area defined, and the website field was corrected from a domain that forwarded elsewhere to https://www.craigstamper.com/ directly.
Where I'm stuck: I appealed at the time and wasn't approved. That decision now shows as "Review complete / Not approved" and isn't selectable in the appeals tool, so there's no route to appeal a profile that has since been fixed.
I've also posted twice on the Google Business Profile Community with no reply. I've since discovered my threads there return "this page is no longer available" to anyone not signed in as me — so I don't think they're being seen at all. My forum account there is only two weeks old, which may be why.
Two questions:
1. Is there any route back for a decision marked not eligible, short of hiring a reinstatement specialist?
2. Is creating a fresh profile ever the right answer in this situation, or would it just get caught by the same signals?
Happy to provide documentation — Arkansas certificate of organization, invoices for the business phone line and the website.
