We are a 6-person home renovation and hardwood flooring business operating in Lyon for 4 years. Last Tuesday morning, without any prior warning or notification, we found our Google Business Profile suspended for 'suspicious activity'. We were getting at least 25-30 direct calls and direction requests per week through that profile; after the suspension, inquiries stopped completely and dropped to zero.
Two days before the suspension, we updated our weekend hours on the profile and tacked the words 'Lyon Renovation' onto the end of our registered business name. We don't want to rush submitting the appeal form and end up permanently locking the account.
What official documents do we need to submit to get out of this suspension, and how long does the process usually take? Also, what practical steps should we take in the meantime to stop the bleed of local leads while the listing is down?
