Hello everyone, my google places was suspended when I joined Moz Local and used the service.....any idea whats going on?

If your Google Places listing has been suspended, it likely means Google has temporarily or permanently disabled it due to violations of their guidelines. Common reasons for suspension include misrepresentation, multiple listings, keyword stuffing, inappropriate content, fraudulent activity, and quality issues. To address a suspension, graphic designer review Google's guidelines, correct any violations, contact Google support for an appeal, be patient during the review process, and ensure compliance to prevent future suspensions. Staying informed about Google's policies is crucial for maintaining a healthy online presence.

I had this happened with my business but it isn't related to moz , suddenly google suspended my 10 years old google business listing that has 93 genuine reviews due to mass reporting on listing
if you have a listing and it has 2 - 3 times reviews reporting it may get suspended automatically because they don't monitor it and google bots takes all over that monitoring and moderation ! -
Hi there! Google Places suspension can be frustrating. When using third-party services like Moz Local, ensure you follow Google's guidelines for business listings to avoid potential violations. It's a good idea to reach out to Google Support for clarification on the suspension and work on resolving any issues promptly. Best of luck getting your listing back up!

Here're some ideas why it might be happening
Violation of Google's guidelines: Google Places (now known as Google My Business) has specific guidelines that businesses must adhere to. If your listing violates any of these guidelines, Google may suspend it. Common violations include using a fake address, creating multiple listings for the same business, or providing inaccurate information. Review the guidelines to ensure compliance.
Duplicate or inconsistent information: Moz Local is a service that helps manage your business listings across various online directories. It's possible that during the process, duplicate or inconsistent information was created, which triggered Google's suspicion. Ensure that your business information is accurate, consistent, and matches the details on your website.
Verification issues: Google often requires businesses to verify their listings to ensure their legitimacy. If there were any issues during the verification process, or if Google couldn't verify the information provided, it could lead to a suspension. Make sure you've completed the verification process correctly and provided accurate details.
Community or competitor reports: If someone in the community or a competitor reported your listing as spam or flagged it for a violation, it could result in a suspension. In such cases, Google will investigate the reports before taking action. If you believe your suspension is unjustified, you can appeal to Google to reinstate your listing.

Unsolved Apple Maps isn't syncing
Hi there! I have been using Mozlocal for a local client for a few months now. They recently opened, so I began the syncing process a few weeks ago. Apple Maps is reporting as synced when I view it in my Listings, but when viewing the actual listing on Apple Maps, the hours are very wrong. It is an important time of year for this business, and appearing as not open for 6 days a week is not great. Is there anything else I can do through Mozlocal to get this listing fully synced?

Unsolved can I set up a white-labeled version of Moz local
I am wondering if Moz Pro account users have the option to set up a white-labeled version of the Moz Local Listings Checker? And if so, how? It would be an excellent tool to entice customers to sign up for our services.

Unsolved Has anyone noticed the Google quote request response rate never changes?
We respond to almost 100% of our quote requests, yet every quote email that comes in from Google shows a 27% response rate and it never changes. Has anyone else seen this or have any insight into it?

Unsolved Google My Business and Virtual Offices
Moz support suggests that the community may be able to answer this question, and I would appreciate the help. I own a coworking space that offers virtual office services. Based on my reading of Google's guidelines, A virtual office doesn't qualify for a GMB listing. However, multiple virtual office sites are offering GMB PIN codes if the member signs up for 6 months of service. The claim is that Google will see the address as "stable" after 6 months. The only possible reference I can find for this is 6 months for SEO results. Google expressly states, "virtual offices are not eligible for a business profile." Thanks for any feedback

Verifying Google My Business After An Address Change
Hello,
Local Listings | | Ben-R
We are trying to verify our Google My Business listing, however, the current unverified listing is using an old address we no longer have access to. The only option for verification is through the mail. We tried requesting an edit but it didn’t go through. Would the best option be to create a new one and try to have the old (unverified) listing removed? Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
