Why this is usually the thing that is stuck
Most profiles are set up once, in five minutes, and never touched again. The primary category is a guess. Services are empty. There are four photos from 2021 and no posts.
Google reads all of that as a business that may not still be operating. Meanwhile the competitor posting weekly with 40 services listed looks alive.

Competitor spam reporting

Is this the right service for you?
Being honest about this saves both of us a quarter.
A good fit if…
- You have a verified profile or can verify one
- You serve a real, defined area
- You can collect reviews from real customers
- You want calls from Maps
Probably not yet if…
- Your business address is not real
- You want reviews bought rather than earned
- You are between locations right now
Questions we get asked
01Will changing my primary category hurt my current rankings?
It can move them either way, which is why we benchmark first rather than guess. Changes are made one at a time so the effect is readable.
02How many reviews do I need?
Fewer than most people think, but steadily. A profile gaining two a month beats one that got thirty in a week two years ago.
03Can you get a suspended profile back?
Often, if the suspension was for a fixable reason. We will tell you honestly after looking at it.
04Do posts actually matter?
For ranking, indirectly. For the click once you are shown, quite a lot — a profile with recent posts reads as a business that is open.
