No more calls, no more local visibility.<br>In his dashboard: \u201cRecord suspended for non-compliance with rules\u201d.<br>He had simply moved his business from his home to a small workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cause<\/strong><br>When the address was changed, Google considered the new location suspicious: industrial area, no sign visible from the street, and address shared with other tradespeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action<\/strong><br>We conducted a full audit of the account and identified inconsistencies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Trade name slightly modified.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incorrectly formatted address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No clear photos of the new location.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jean was guided to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>its up-to-date Kbis extract,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an EDF (French electricity company) bill for the workshop,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 exterior photos (facade, sign, street number, entrance),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 interior photos (workshop, equipment).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The type of documents requested in this file is similar to <a

complaint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Issue<\/strong><br>A cosmetic surgery clinic in Marseille loses its listing after a series of anonymous reports of \u201cdeceptive activity\u201d.<br>The establishment, although real, had been wrongly accused of using fake photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cause<\/strong><br>Analysis of the profile reveals several warning signs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>photos from stock image libraries,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>duplicate of an old listing created by an agency,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>lack of consistency between the displayed name and the name in the Kbis extract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google has deemed the listing potentially fraudulent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This type of situation is typical of <a href=\"https:\/\/retablir-fiche-suspendue.eu\/en\/why-suspended-google-listing\/\">Most common reasons for suspension observed on Google listings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action<\/strong><br>We have reconstructed a complete file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>removal of duplicate,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cleaning up old, non-compliant images,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Addition of real photos of the staff and the facade,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>verification of the SIRET number and alignment of the trade name.,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>drafting a clear message to Google, explaining the confusion with the previous provider.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Management also provided:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a copy of the commercial lease,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the invoices from the medical supplier,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a photo of the professional sign at the entrance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Result<\/strong><br>Reactivation confirmed <strong>on the 7th day<\/strong>.<br>Google confirmed the legitimacy of the clinic

id=\"cas-3-restaurant-fiche-bloquee-pour-activite-non-verifiable\">Case 3 \u2013 Restaurant: listing blocked due to unverifiable activity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Issue<\/strong><br>A restaurant in Nice, recently taken over by a couple of managers, has its listing suspended just after changing its business name.<br>Former name: \u201cLe Patio Gourmand\u201d.<br>New name: \u201cChez Romane\u201d.<br>The sudden change of name and photos triggered an automatic alert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cause<\/strong><br>Google detected an inconsistency between the old information (name, hours, website) and the new configuration.<br>The system considered the record as a different establishment, therefore not verified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action<\/strong><br>We proceeded to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>verification of the transfer of ownership via the new manager&#039;s account,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the collection of documents proving the official takeover (deed of transfer, new registration, supplier invoice),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the website update to reflect the new name,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the creation of new geolocated photos taken in front of the establishment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A complete file was then submitted to Google with a simple explanation: same address, same activity, only a change of direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The approach followed here follows the main steps described in <a href=\"https:\/\/retablir-fiche-suspendue.eu\/en\/how-to-reactivate-a-suspended-google-listing\/\">the complete procedure to reactivate a suspended Google listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Result<\/strong><br>Page reactivated <strong>in 5 business days<\/strong>, with the transfer validated on the manager&#039;s new account.<br>The original reviews and photos have been preserved.<br>The establishment regained its position on the front page of \u201crestaurant Nice centre\u201d two days after reactivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Issue<\/strong><br>Claire, a communications consultant in Toulon, works exclusively from home.<br>His listing was suspended after he hid his address, in accordance

activity, even without premises open to the public.<br>In the absence of office photos, the profile seemed fictitious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action<\/strong><br>We have :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>updated the \u201cService Provider\u201d category,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>provided the SIRET number, a professional internet invoice and two anonymized

\u2013 Driving school: multiple suspensions and initial refusal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Issue<\/strong><br>A driving school in Lyon had already made two unsuccessful attempts to reactivate the license.<br>Google rejected the listing due to \u201cinsufficient documentation\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Cause<\/strong><br>The evidence sent (interior photos only) showed no signage or street visibility, and the Kbis contained a slightly different address than the one on the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Action<\/strong><br>We started the case from scratch:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>correction of the address in the Kbis extract.,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear photos of the facade, the &quot;Driving School&quot; sign, and the vehicle with logo.,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>addition of an internet bill and the commercial lease.<br>A new, concise justification has been written, mentioning the exact attachments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Result<\/strong><br>Reactivation confirmed <strong>in 6 business days<\/strong> after submission.<br>The establishment has regained its reviews, history, and Google Maps display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This timeframe corresponds to what we observe on average, and which we detail in <a href=\"https:\/\/retablir-fiche-suspendue.eu\/en\/how-long-does-it-take-to-reinstate-a-suspended-google-listing\/\" data-type=\"page\"
