    Hi, thanks so much for your incredible video. Unfortunately I saw this after appealing and I can’t see any update from them? How do I add additional information to the case and how long does it take them to usually review everything? They have deleted my 20y business and reviews and I’m losing business and sleep!

    • @rankingacademy
      @rankingacademy  16 днів тому

      I'm so sorry to hear and I totally understand how devastating that might be. Google can be a cruel beast. You're going to have to wait until they let you know whether or not your listing can be reinstated. Only then you will be able to appeal the decision if you get turned down. It usually takes a few days for them to process

      If you don’t meet customers in person at your business address and instead visit them at their location, you shouldn’t display an address on your profile. According to Google’s guidelines, your service area should also be set within a two-hour radius from your location.

      You can first appeal the decision by providing additional evidence beyond what you originally submitted to increase the chances of your listing being reinstated. If the appeal is unsuccessful, submit a ticket on the Google Business Profile support forum, where a moderator may escalate your case. If all efforts fail, there may be no further action you can take.

      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.

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

    My google page got suspended. And I just tried to appeal my google page(by mistake I submitted without any evidence), so I tried to upload the documents and write the explanation, but I closed the page by mistake (it shows me that submitted)
    How can I try to do it again to upload the document and the explanation???
    Thanks
