I’ve seen it happen more times than I can count. A business is doing everything “right”—posting regularly, getting reviews, staying active. And then one day, without warning, the Google Business Profile is gone. Suspended. Reason given: “Quality issues.” If you’re asking “Why is my Google Business Profile suspended?” —you’re not alone.
