Google Business Profile in Sidmouth — FAQs

Why was my Google Business Profile suspended?

Suspensions usually follow a guideline breach: an ineligible address, keyword stuffing in the business name, a virtual office, or a sudden edit that triggered review.

More detail

Reinstatement depends on correcting the underlying breach and supplying evidence of a legitimate business.

Do Google Posts help rankings?

Posts mainly help conversion and engagement rather than ranking directly, but an active profile tends to perform better overall.

How do I market to an older customer base online?
