# Google Business Profile reinstatement and repair

When Google suspends or disables your Business Profile, your business disappears from Maps and from the local results at the exact moment a customer is looking for you. Reinstatement is a case, not a lottery ticket. It is priced by how much investigation and repair the case needs, the price is agreed in writing before work starts, and nobody sells you a guarantee Google never gave anyone.

## The three tiers

### Tier 1, $800: a straightforward case

A suspension or reinstatement with a readable cause. The price covers a diagnosis of the suspension from the profile and Google's notice, the compliance fixes to the profile itself that the appeal needs (name, address, categories, photos, hours), one properly built appeal or reinstatement submission with the supporting evidence in front, and status updates until Google decides.

### Tier 2, $1,000: a complex case, including a rejected appeal

Everything in Tier 1, plus a review of the prior rejection: what was filed, what Google answered, and what has to change before anything is filed again. Where the profile's address or service area setup is part of the problem, that gets rebuilt. The evidence packet (business documents, signage, licensing) is assembled to Google's current standard, and a second submission is included if the first response requires one.

### Tier 3, $1,200 and up: extensive investigation and remediation

Everything in Tier 2, plus the cases with archaeology in them: multiple profiles or duplicates, a hijacked or merged listing, and remediation across the wider footprint (website, citations, directories) where those are feeding the profile problem. Tier 3 is scoped and quoted per case in writing before work begins. The "and up" is honest: nobody promises a fixed ceiling on a case nobody has opened yet.

## How a case runs
1. **Assessment.** Every case is assessed individually first. Which tier a case belongs in is a judgment made from the profile, the notices, and the documents, and it is agreed in writing before work starts.
2. **The case is built.** Diagnosis, compliance fixes, and an appeal where the strongest evidence comes first and nothing is claimed that the documents cannot support.
3. **Google decides.** On Google's timeline, which is slow and inconsistent. You get status updates until it does, not silence.

## What no tier includes

**No guarantee of reinstatement.** Google decides, and anyone who promises you otherwise is selling you something that does not exist. What the price buys is the diagnosis, the compliance work, and a properly built case. There is no refund if Google says no, and there is no pay-on-success pricing: a case worked properly and refused by Google was still worked properly.

Ongoing profile management, review responses, and posting after the case closes are separate services with their own prices, as is SEO work beyond what the case itself requires.

## Proof it works

A Canadian hypnotherapy office disappeared from Google Maps after a suspension. The listing was corrected, the proof was organized, and the profile was restored on appeal. The full account is in [the profile reinstatement case study](https://christopherabraham.com/case-studies/profile-reinstated/). The wider local practice (location pages, categories, multi-location cleanup) is on the [local SEO page](https://christopherabraham.com/services/local-seo/).

## Start

Thirty minutes: [book a 30 minute call](https://calendly.com/chrisabraham/30). Bring the suspension notice, whatever Google has sent you, and access to the profile if you still have it. The assessment names your tier; the tier names your price; both go in writing before any work starts.

## Questions

### How much does Google Business Profile reinstatement cost?

It is priced in three tiers: $800 for a straightforward case, $1,000 for a complex case including a rejected appeal, and $1,200 and up for extensive investigation and remediation. Your tier is agreed in writing after an assessment, before work starts.

### Can you guarantee my profile will be reinstated?

No, and nobody can. Google decides. The price buys a diagnosis, the compliance fixes, and a properly built appeal with the strongest evidence first. There is no refund if Google refuses, and no pay-on-success pricing.

### Google already rejected my appeal. Is it over?

Not necessarily. A rejected appeal is a Tier 2 case: the rejection itself is evidence. What was filed, what Google answered, and what changed since are the starting point for a second, better-built submission.

### How long does reinstatement take?

The case work is prompt; Google's decision is not. Google answers on its own timeline, which runs from days to weeks and is inconsistent. You receive status updates until the decision lands.

### My business has no storefront. Can its profile be reinstated?

Service-area businesses (no address shown, areas served instead) have their own rules, and a wrong address setup is a common cause of suspension. Rebuilding the service-area setup is part of Tier 2 and Tier 3 work where it is part of the problem.
