This is the best explainer video on this subject. I normally don't comment on KZbin videos, but Luc is very clear, his advice is solid and this video is GOLD. 🌟🌟🌟

[@rankingacademy]

Wow, thank you so much Jess. Much appreciated

[@ktoday3219]

I suppose many have mentioned/thought that your explanations are far better and to-the-point then Google's guidelines. Well done Luc. 🙏🙏

Hello and Thank You, I am really stuck with my GMB. After watching your video I have figured out why I was suspended. I had submitted my lease agreement with my name only and not pictures, which I wish I would have seen your video first. My appeal was denied and now I keep going around and around. How can I resubmit my appeal. I have almost 50 reviews and have had my account since 2019 I don't want to lose it. Can you please HELP!!!

[@SteveLuno]

Great video as always. What's the best way to contact you for a business proposal?

What about sole traders that do not have a business registration? I am very confused on what to do please help me! Your videos are great though!

[@rankingacademy]

Do you have utility bills that shows your business name? If so use that instead

[@emhassandigital]

Great job keep going 💪

[@rankingacademy]

Thank you, I will

[@CallumChild-n5r]

My account was suspended, so I closely followed the guidelines and your instructions. I even submitted my Business Registration Certificate as evidence. Yet my appeal was declined. Apparently my business has "Content that violates our policies on deceptive content and behavior isn't allowed. Deceptive content intentionally misleads or deceives others." I run a cleaning business. I don't even have photos linked to my profile. How on earth am I deceiving people with my content? I don't know what to do now... it won't allow me to submit another appeal. Suggestions?

[@rankingacademy]

hmmm. If you watched the video till the end you can see it is possible to appeal the appeal. Have you tried that? But before, it looks like there is something with your profile that still needs fixing. Not sure what it is but make sure you go through it with a with a toothcomb

[@sunitharaghavan4866]

It is over 12 days, my business is suspended and there is no response to my appeal. How long can it take ?

[@PalaWootje]

I have this problem for over a month now with my friends Google Business page. It is damaging his business and they are not explaining what is wrong. "Business Profile suspended - Deceptive content"??!?! I do all my listings honestly and correctly, so I have no idea what is wrong and why they are taking so long to republish it.

[@rankingacademy]

Have you appealed?

[@keysncoffee7733]

Hi Luc! Thanks for the helpful video! I was looking into this because we have a business that is about to set up a GBP. However we plan to move within 6 months. Is it worth it to enter the current temporary address now then change it later? Or should I just start with a service area profile first? We want to start working on our Local SEO and not have to wait. I’d like to avoid being flagged 😔

[@rankingacademy]

Is it a brick and mortar business or is it a service area type of business?

[@keysncoffee7733]

@@rankingacademy it is a brick & mortar right now

[@nazmabegum4640]

Hey mate, can you make a specific content about how to select SAB service area on GMB? I read that the areas can't distance from 2 hours driving from base address. Also suggest how can we choose those spesific areas easily using chatgpt? Do I need individual landing pages focusing those service area keywords which I used in GMB? do I need to target same keywords for ranking both website & GMB? What will be the process? Thanks

Luc, my business is losing ranking for keywords. What can i do? Things were great before the updates, but now things have slowed, and rankings have gone down.

[@rankingacademy]

Before what updates? Rankings aren't fixed in stones, they change over time. May be your competitors are doing better?

how about the "Reject contribution" field that does not appera in your video? What is that for?

Can you specify where (time stamp)

[@markchase9502]

I received appeal declined. I provided a copy of my business license and real estate license. I tried to file another appeal but can't submit my info. I think I accidentally applied for physical location when I first entered data. I changed it to show service business and don't display address prior to first appeal. I was only provided video option for verification. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@rankingacademy]

Not sure what your question is. Do you need to re verify your listing? is it currently suspended

[@markchase9502]

Your profile must be in violation with Google's guidelines.

[@benedson3381]

what do you do if the business is not eligible for appeal??

[@rankingacademy]

If you're not eligible for an appeal it means your business doesn't meet the criteria for a listing so there isn't anything you can do about it.

[@OlawuyiSeyi-nh9so]

You can try the additional appeal shown in the video. It worked for me.
