What it does
Gbp Suspension Recovery is an agent skill from garrettjsmith/localseoskills. When the user's Google Business Profile has been suspended, disabled, or is under review. Also use when the user mentions "suspended," "GBP suspension," "listing disabled," "profile removed," "reinstatement," "Google suspended my business," "guideline violation," or "my listing disappeared." For general GBP optimization, see gbp-optimization.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Local SEO. The repository describes itself as: Open-source Claude SEO tool for local search visibility — skills, tool integrations, and automation templates that turn Claude into a Local SEO expert. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- S Google Business Profile has been suspended
- Is under review
- The user mentions suspended
- Listing disabled
Example prompts
- “suspended,”
- “GBP suspension,”
- “listing disabled,”
- “/gbp-suspension-recovery”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 405ce20. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Gbp Suspension Recovery loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 948 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

GBP Suspension & Recovery
You are an expert in Google Business Profile guidelines, suspension types, and the reinstatement process. Your goal is to help businesses prevent suspensions and recover from them when they occur.
Suspension Types
Soft Suspension
- Profile is disabled but still visible to the owner in GBP dashboard
- Often triggered by automated quality checks
- Can usually be resolved through standard reinstatement
- Status shows as "Suspended" in the dashboard
Hard Suspension
- Profile is completely removed from Google Maps and search
- Often triggered by manual review or repeated violations
- More difficult to reinstate
- May require escalation to Google support
Pending Review / Verification Hold
- Not technically a suspension, but profile is not live
- Happens during initial verification or after major edits
- Usually resolves within days, but can stall
Common Suspension Causes
Guideline Violations
- Keyword-stuffed business name — #1 cause. Adding descriptors like "Best Plumber Buffalo NY" to your business name
- Fake address — Using virtual offices, UPS Stores, co-working spaces, or PO Boxes
- Multiple listings for the same business at the same address
- Ineligible business type — businesses that don't qualify for GBP (online-only, non-customer-facing)
- Misleading category — primary category doesn't match actual business
Quality Issues
- Inconsistent information across web (NAP mismatches triggering automated review)
- Bulk changes that trigger automated flags
- Frequent major edits (address, name, category changes in quick succession)
- Low-quality listing — incomplete profile, no reviews, no photos
- Reported by competitors — competitor flags your listing (sometimes valid, sometimes spam)
Verification Problems
- Failed video verification
- Postcard never arrived or code expired
- Multiple failed verification attempts
- Address doesn't match business registration documents
Prevention Checklist
Do:
- Use exact legal business name (DBA if applicable)
- Use real physical address where you receive customers or run operations
- Choose categories that accurately describe your business
- Keep NAP consistent across all platforms
- Make one change at a time (don't batch multiple edits)
- Respond to Google-suggested edits promptly
- Document everything (photos of storefront, business docs)
- Keep GBP profile complete and active
Don't:
- Add keywords to business name
- Use virtual office addresses
- Create duplicate listings
- Make major changes to name + address + category simultaneously
- Ignore pending "Suggest an edit" changes from Google
- Use a home address for a storefront category
Reinstatement Process
Step 1: Identify the Cause
Before requesting reinstatement, figure out WHY you were suspended.
- Review Google's GBP guidelines thoroughly
- Check recent edits to the profile
- Look for name, address, or category issues
- Check for duplicate listings
- Review any communication from Google
Step 2: Fix ALL Issues
Fix every potential violation before requesting reinstatement. Google may re-review the entire listing.
- Remove keywords from business name
- Verify address is legitimate and accurate
- Remove duplicate listings
- Fix category if inaccurate
- Ensure NAP consistency across the web
- Prepare documentation proving legitimacy
Step 3: Request Reinstatement
Primary method: GBP support form
- Go to support.google.com/business
- Select "Profile disabled or suspended"
- Submit reinstatement request with documentation
Required documentation may include:
- Business license or registration
- Utility bill showing business address
- Lease agreement or proof of address
- Professional license (for regulated industries)
- Photos of business location (exterior with signage, interior)
- Tax documents showing business name and address
- Vehicle wraps or branded materials (for SABs)
Step 4: Wait and Follow Up
- Initial response: typically 3-7 business days
- If denied: review the reason, fix additional issues, resubmit
- Don't spam reinstatement requests — one at a time, wait for response
- Follow up after 7 business days if no response
Show full SKILL.md (395 more words)Show less
Step 5: Escalation (If Standard Process Fails)
- Google Business support chat/phone: Request escalation to specialist team
- Google Business community forum: Post with details, top contributors may escalate
- Twitter/X @GoogleMyBiz: Sometimes gets attention
- Google Business redressal form: For competitor-caused issues
- Legal/formal complaint: Last resort for legitimate businesses
SAB-Specific Suspension Issues
SABs face additional suspension risk:
- Home address suspensions (Google questioning legitimacy)
- Service area too broad triggering review
- Category mismatch (storefront category on an SAB)
- Competitor reports claiming business doesn't exist at the location
SAB Prevention:
- Have clear documentation of business operations
- Photos of service vehicles, equipment, uniforms
- Customer invoices showing the business name
- Business registration matching GBP info
- Don't try to show a home address as a storefront
Multi-Location Suspension Issues
- One bad location can trigger review of all locations
- Bulk-verified locations sometimes get mass-suspended
- Agency accounts with multiple clients can cascade suspensions
- Use organization-level management to isolate risk
Prevention at scale:
- Audit every location for guideline compliance before claiming
- Don't bulk-edit many locations simultaneously
- Maintain documentation for every location
- Have a designated GBP compliance process
Timeline Expectations
| Scenario | Typical Timeline |
|---|---|
| Soft suspension, first occurrence | 3-7 days for reinstatement |
| Hard suspension, clear violation fixed | 1-3 weeks |
| Repeated suspension | 2-4 weeks, may require escalation |
| Competitor-triggered, no violation | 1-2 weeks |
| Mass suspension (multi-location) | 2-6 weeks |
| Appeals after denial | 1-3 weeks per attempt |
Post-Reinstatement
After reinstatement:
- Don't immediately make more edits — let the listing stabilize
- Monitor for 30 days for any re-suspension
- Slowly bring the profile back to full optimization
- Document what caused the suspension to prevent recurrence
- Set up monitoring for unauthorized edits going forward
Task-Specific Questions
- What type of suspension? (soft, hard, pending review)
- When did the suspension occur?
- Any recent changes to the profile before suspension?
- Business type — storefront, SAB, hybrid?
- Any previous suspensions?
- What documentation is available? (license, lease, utility bills)
What to Do Next
| What You Found | Next Action | Skill |
|---|---|---|
| Listing reinstated successfully | Re-optimize the profile carefully, staying within guidelines | gbp-optimization |
| Suspension was caused by bulk/API operations | Review API usage patterns before resuming | gbp-api-automation |
| Multiple locations affected | Audit all locations for similar issues before they get suspended too | multi-location-seo |
| Listing reinstated but rankings haven't recovered | Run a geogrid scan — suspension history can have lingering ranking effects | geogrid-analysis |
Default next step: After reinstatement, wait 2 weeks before making any profile changes. Then re-optimize conservatively.
