    Hey there nice video. Since Google changed the management panel for the Google business profile and incorporated it with the search interface (not a great idea of you ask me) things are all over the place. I couldn't find where to ad an account manager. Don't know weather I eliminated the option or just hid it??? I was hoping you'd have an idea on the issue. Cheers!

Are you adding your own phone number to verify the clients' account or adding their phone number? I know this is a problem as it is a time sensitive (approx. 30 sec) when google sends the code.

    Regarding company name - we have a search term ("Pool Services") in our business name and had used it in advertisements and even legally own the name in our state of operation. We got our account suspended so we changed our name to use just the term "Pools" and were reinstated. Is there a way to verify this was the change that got us reinstated? Being a local service provider GMB is critical to our business and we don't want to risk another suspension but would be great to have the search term in our name! Any tips/suggestions on this?

      Hard to tell but if that's the only thing you changed It be possible this was the reason you were suspended in the first place. If you legally own the name and have the paperwork for it then make sure you rebrand your marketing material accordingly, that your business citations also include the name, if you run a brick and mortar business make sure outside signage is present and include the term too, then you should be able to use it on your google business profile

    Hello Luc, i am having a problem where a competitor or other meddler is going to google maps and marking my business as closed on suggest an edit. i have a few questions:
    first, how do i get my listing live again?
    2nd, what does it take to make sure the listing cannot be marked as closed again in the future?
    experimenting i went to another one of my listings on maps as an anonymous user and closed that listing on suggest an edit the same way. the listing vanished within 10 minutes!
    i went back to maps to *add a missing place on suggest an edit and still haven't seen them reappear.
    any help is greatly appreciated and I'm willing to pay you to speak on the phone about it if we can.
    thank you

      Hi Carl
      Unfortunately you can't prevent edits to a business profile. Google encourages updates and contributions to listings. The only way to combat this is to keep an eye on your listing daily to reject the edits and hope that the owner of the account s who does that gets flagged and any businesses that they are connected to get suspended. Alternatively you can use the legal route and take legal action against an unknown party.

      ultimately you can only call yourself a business if you're generating a steady stream of income and have registered yourself officially as a business however I have found many people with GMB listings who are claerly not businesses but have used their personal residential addresses. That is something you could consider.
