Google Business Profile

Your Google Business Profile is your visibility on Google. When it is suspended, disabled, or unverified - your business is invisible to every potential customer searching for what you do.

What We Do

Profile recovery, verification, and optimisation.

Suspended profile reinstatement

Google suspends profiles for policy violations, guideline changes, and sometimes for reasons that are difficult to determine. FiveStars identifies the cause, prepares the documentation, and manages the appeal process.

Disabled listing appeals

A disabled listing is different from a suspended one. The appeal process is different, the evidence requirements are different, and the escalation paths are different. FiveStars knows the distinction and pursues the right approach.

Ownership and verification

Verification disputes, ownership conflicts, and unverified listings. Whether you need to claim a listing, resolve a verification failure, or recover ownership from a previous manager.

Duplicate listing resolution

Duplicate listings split your reviews, confuse customers, and create visibility problems. FiveStars identifies duplicates, consolidates reviews where possible, and ensures your primary listing is the one Google surfaces.

Profile hijacking recovery

Someone has claimed or modified your listing without authorisation. FiveStars recovers control through Google's ownership verification and dispute resolution processes.

Profile optimisation

Categories, attributes, photos, posts, Q&A - every element that affects where you appear in local search results and how compelling your listing looks to potential customers.

When businesses come to us about their profile.

Suspended without explanation

Your profile was suspended and Google's notification does not clearly explain why. You have tried the standard reinstatement form and it was rejected. We diagnose the actual cause and pursue the appropriate appeal path.

Verification keeps failing

You have tried postcard verification, phone verification, and video verification - and none of them are working. We identify what is causing the failures and pursue alternative verification paths.

Someone else controls your listing

A previous web developer, a former employee, or someone you cannot identify has ownership of your Google Business Profile. We recover control through Google's dispute processes.

Post-reinstatement hardening

Your profile has been reinstated but you want to make sure it does not happen again. We review your profile for compliance risks and implement preventive measures.
