I am seeing a flood of complaints in the Google Business Profiles forums where businesses are complaining that their Google Business Profiles were suspended. Supposedly, Google is mass disabling Business Profiles in specific sets of industries or niches.
Ben Fisher also posted about this on X, saying, "Someone pushed a button, and I think I can hear the screams of Garage Door and Dumpster companies screaming! Just got notified about ton of disabled (suspended) profiles in those categories."
Ben said this is going after garage door, trash/dumpster and personal injury lawyer categories of businesses.
Here are some screenshots from the forums of suspensions.
