Good morning again Google my biz. I am still waiting on a response from your team. Our profile is still down. We have ran our website multiple times through Gemini and it is saying that we should be cleared for action. Can you please help us get our Google? My business restored

Good morning family. I’m sorry to continue to post this same ongoing issue.

My Google my business is still shut down. My company name is Smooth Finish Painting. We are located in Kouts.

We are a service base business and perform our work and consultations at customers homes. Therefore, we don’t have a physical address to register with Google my business.

Or Google my business has been shut down since January 27. I haven’t heard anything from anyone for the last 8 business days so totaling 10 actual days.

I’m asking, can you please help me restore my Google my business? We are a residential painting company and the dead of winter in Northwest Indiana are slowest month is February and Google makes up 20% of our lead flow. We can’t run Google ads we can’t advertise our impressive ranking.

Can you please help please please can you please help please? I’m a business owner of 15 employees and we are all feeling the effects of this financially and emotionally. Can you please help us

My phone number is 219-252-7140

Please is there something that you can do anything that you can do to help with this issue?

I’m having people contact me on here saying that they can get it restored. But they’re asking for all of my sensitive information when it comes to my licensing and all of the business stuff and I’m not willing to just throw that information to someone online help please google help.

Good morning my family and friends. Still dealing with the Google my business suspended issue. We’re past the five days that they recommended to wait before reaching out. Has there been any updates or can you guys give me action items or projections of what’s to come please

[Damian Raber @SmoothFinish219]

Yes, we corrected all of the issues have filed an appeal and got denied that filed the next appeal of the denial. Now we’re here it’s been six days so I decided to reach back out to Google.

Hoping that I can at least get direction on what to do because I can run our website through Gemini and it says it should pass reinstatement appeal

[Damian Raber @SmoothFinish219]

Hello there @GoogleMyBiz @Google @chamath @sundarpichai @

Hello there. Our Google my business has been shut down since 24 January. We have been active on Google for 2 1/2 years with 120+5 star review reviews.

This channel is 20% of our residential lead flow. We like to showcase our Google ranking status in our sales pitch and we’re unable to do that without the qualifier of a Google my business.

Guys, can you please help me out here? I’m just a young entrepreneur. Our business is 2 1/2 years old this year we did $1.5 million last year we are experiencing explosive growth and this is a very critical time for us.

Please, it said to wait for five days from filing the appeal. We waited the five days and are yet to hear anything.

Is there anything that you can do potentially have someone reach out to help get our business my profile back reinstated? Or tell us what documents are needed. We’ve already submitted our LLC documents a current tax document our EIN number and multiple other things.

There is a good chance that the pressure that this puts on us will take us three months six months maybe even a year to get out of depending on how fast this happens

The company still has an overhead that has to be paid regardless if we are fully functioning or not.

In closing. My request here is that someone from Google my business would reach out to me Damian Raber at 219-252-7140 or via email https://t.co/B6h31Uzf9j

Please, if you could put some attention towards this, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a team of 16 people, and we all rely on Google for a little bit of our household income and survival.

Thank you so much for your time and reviewing this. I would not be resorting to this if it wasn’t critical.

Sorry to anyone if you’re offended by me tagging you on here Chamath help me out buddy.

@GoogleMyBiz Thank you so much. Please let me know anything is needed from us.

Thank you

[Damian Raber @SmoothFinish219]

@GoogleMyBiz Yes. We have resubmitted the form two days ago.

@GoogleMyBiz @Google @chamath @sundarpichai @elonmusk

We’re grateful for Google and the safeguards you’ve built to protect users and businesses — that trust matters.

At the same time, the suspension of our Google Business Profile has had a real impact. We’re a seasonal service business, and about 20% of our inbound leads come from Google, especially during the slow season when stability is critical.

We’re not asking for exceptions — just clear guidance, communication, and a fair path to resolution. Small businesses rely on Google not just for visibility, but for survival.

Thank you for the platform and for taking the time to listen

Hello all you impressive super smart innovators.
