Attach your documents before submitting. Google permits one appeal submission and says to keep the existing profile. [Google's suspension instructions](https://support.google.com/business/answer/4569145?hl=en). For an agent, start by identifying whose business the profile represents and where customers meet you. Then test your own website's seller and buyer contact routes. Keep the appeal work and website checks in separate records. ## Identify the restriction before choosing a repair The appeals tool displays the decision reason, policy link, eligibility to appeal, and status. Record those details before proposing changes. [Google's decision details](https://support.google.com/business/answer/4569145?hl=en). Choose the route that matches the notice: | What the notice concerns | Published route for a US business | | --- | --- | | Suspended or disabled profile | Use the Business Profile appeals tool. | | Rejected website, address, name, or other information edit | Contact Business Profile support. | | Restricted photo, video, or post | Contact Business Profile support. | These routes follow [Google's guidance for businesses outside the UK and EEA](https://support.google.com/business/answer/13597551?hl=en). If your Google account is restricted, appeal the account restriction first through your Google Account. Appeal the profile suspension after that restriction is lifted. [Google's account-restriction sequence](https://support.google.com/business/answer/4569145?hl=en). Do not diagnose a suspension from a missing search result alone. Google's guidance also directs businesses to check verification status when content is absent. [Google's verification check](https://support.google.com/business/answer/13597551?hl=en). - [Google Possum: shared-office map filtering checks for real estate agents](/articles/shared-office-map-pack-filtering-agents) ## Check the agent identity and office arrangement Use the cited policy and this worksheet to review your setup. A possible mismatch is a question to investigate, rather than proof of the suspension cause. | Agent-specific check | Google's published requirement | | --- | --- | | Your practitioner profile | Real estate agents qualify as practitioners with a public-facing role and direct contact at the verified location during stated hours. | | Several agents at one brokerage | Organization and practitioner profiles can coexist. The practitioner title contains the practitioner's name without the organization name. | | A sole practitioner representing a branded organization | Google recommends a shared profile with the company and practitioner names. | | Extra cities or sales phrases in the name | The name reflects real-world usage. Unnecessary additions can cause suspension. | | A rented mailbox or virtual office | A mailing address where the business does not operate is ineligible. | | A coworking office | It needs clear signage, customer visits, and staffing by your business during business hours. | These checks come from [Google's business representation and practitioner rules](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en). If you do not serve customers at your business address, Google says to remove the public address. Assess the service-area arrangement against your actual customer contact. [Google's service-area guidance](https://support.google.com/business/answer/9157481?hl=en). Google excludes for-sale and rental properties from eligibility, while distinguishing eligible sales or leasing offices. It also excludes online-only and lead-generation businesses. [Google's eligibility rules](https://support.google.com/business/answer/13763036?hl=en). Write down whether the record represents you, the brokerage, or a sales office. Compare it with your website's agent page and contact details. Explain any brokerage move or naming difference with records. Avoid changing your website to repeat an inaccurate profile address. ## Prepare evidence that identifies the same business Google lists business registration, a business license, tax certificates, and business utility bills as possible appeal evidence. Document names and addresses should match the profile. [Google's evidence guidance](https://support.google.com/business/answer/13597551?hl=en). Organize the packet before opening the submission controls. These are recommended preparation checks: | Item | What to check | | --- | --- | | Official document | It identifies the business or practitioner represented by this profile. | | Business utility bill, if available | Its name and address align with the relevant business records. | | Office evidence | It supports the actual operating arrangement you describe. | | Website page | It identifies the intended agent and current contact route. | | Correction record | It pairs each correction with the cited policy and supporting document. | Do not present a brokerage bill as proof of your own practitioner identity without explaining the relationship. If documents use different names, describe the difference and obtain supporting records. Use a website screenshot to explain the site's identity. Avoid treating it as a substitute for official evidence. Keep private transaction files, client identification, and financing records out of the packet. Send relevant business evidence through the designated support route. Prepare your explanation with these prompts: Which business does the profile represent? What did the notice identify? What did you correct? Which file supports each point? Fill them with confirmed facts. Remove any statement you cannot support. ## Submit the prepared appeal Follow [Google's current submission sequence](https://support.google.com/business/answer/4569145?hl=en): 1. Open the [Business Profile appeals tool](https://support.google.com/business/?p=manage_appeals). 2. Confirm the associated Google Account or switch accounts. 3. Select the intended profile and decision. [Google's suspension instructions](). checked 2026.10.14. 4. Attach optional evidence through **Choose file** and enter your explanation. 5. Check readiness and select **Submit appeal**. Before the final step, compare the selected profile with your saved record. Check each attachment and retain your explanation. Keep the subsequent decision email with the packet. ## Track the decision and handle a denial Check status in the appeals tool. Google advises against submitting multiple appeals for the same issue while awaiting a decision. [Google's appeal-status guidance](https://support.google.com/business/answer/13597551?hl=en). For a denied reinstatement appeal, Google's [additional-review form](https://support.google.com/business/contact/local_appeals) requires an earlier appeal and denial. It asks for the profile ID, management email, business documents, and additional context. Review what the first packet failed to establish before requesting that review. Explain new evidence and any supported corrections. Avoid sending the same unsupported explanation again. Google Business Profile work is not part of the whole website fix. [Published website exclusions, checked 2026.10.14](https://scalewithsearch.com/work). ## Test your website while the appeal is pending The appeal checklist separates Google's evidence decision from failures on your own contact pages. Take the website defects to [whole website fix: appeal-period website checks](/for/real-estate). The whole website fix repairs contact delivery and tests a received inquiry. [Google's website requirements](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177?hl=en).
