Uptick in suspensions occurring (not related to reinstatement response times)

[Jaimie S]

Hi All,

Is anyone else experiencing an unprecedented amount of GBP suspensions? I had 3 separate profiles suspend after doing a post on the account. Other accounts are suspending after making changes to business hours or main categories.

These are across 3 different countries and listings are managed by different Users (in different countries, different logins etc).

Its been about 1-2 weeks of this.

Is this the same for any other agencies?

Thanks ahead!

Google doesn't want you to edit the business profiles once it's verified. You need to ask, do I really need to make this edit to enhance the business profile? Adding service areas doesn't impact rankings, so if you are not ranking in that area, it won't benefit you by adding it. Yes, there is a major backlog on reinstatements. They are averaging 22 days and if there is an uptick in suspensions, they delay can increase. The worst was 6 weeks to hear back.
