Make Sure Your Website Matches GBP
One of the biggest problems agents run into with their Google Business Profiles is that Google won’t let them make changes, or worse, they get suspended, and they can’t figure out why. I was working with an agent recently who ran into this exact situation. She tried to update her profile, but Google kept blocking the change. After looking closer, we discovered the problem wasn’t just in her profile, it was on her website. Google was cross-checking the information on her website with her profile. Because they didn’t match, Google flagged it. Once we fixed the website, Google allowed the profile change without suspension. The takeaway: Google is watching your whole online presence. Your website, your business profile, even other places online, they all need to tell the same story. If your name, phone number, hours, or services don’t line up, Google sees it as inconsistent and may not trust your profile. So before you update your profile, double-check that your website and business information match. That little step can save you from a lot of frustration. And if your profile is already suspended, reach out to me, we can usually get it fixed.
