The difference between disabled and suspended GBPs

There’s been an epidemic of unverified/disabled/suspended GBP cases in the local search forums for a while now, but does anyone know what the difference between those terms is?

It turns out the answer is no — even Google has failed to define what EXACTLY each of these states mean.

Luckily, we live in the same era as Miriam Ellis, and she has all the answers to your suspension questions.

In her new article for Whitespark, Miriam explains what each state of your Google Business Profile means:

• What caused it?

• What does it mean for your Profile’s functionality and visibility?

• What steps do you need to take to recover your Profile?

We even made a simplified table you can come back to if you ever encounter one of these problems. You can find Miriam’s article (and the full table) on Whitespark’s Content Hub 👇️
