Google Business Profile Not Showing Up?

Google Business Profile Not Showing Up

Common Reasons Your Google Business Profile Is Not Showing Up

If your Google my business listing is not showing up in search results or maps, there could be several reasons – such as how close your business location is to the person searching, how relevant your listing is to their query, how established your business appears. Understanding these issues and what you need to do to fix them can help improve your visibility.

  • Business Listing Not Verified

If your Google business profile has not been claimed and verified, that could be the reason your listing is not showing up. You would need to complete the verification process (usually through postcard but sometimes this can be done by phone) to verify that you own the business.

  • Service Based Business

If you changed your business address to a service based area, this could be why your listing is not visible. It could also be due to competition in your niche, as Google tends to give priority to listings that have a legitimate address over service based businesses.

  • Suspended Business Listing

If your business profile has been suspended that means you are in violation of Google’s guidelines and if you encountered a hard suspension, your business listing will be removed. This often happens when Google can’t verify your nap (Name, Address, Phone).

  • Business Profile Not Optimised

It might be difficult for your listing to appear if your business is in a highly competitive area, unless you have many positive reviews with high ratings, as this shows customers trust the business and that is a major ranking factor for Google.

  • Updated Business Information

If you have recently updated your information, such as your business hours, that may cause your listing to temporarily disappear. The changes will remain pending until they are verified, at which point your listing will be restored.
