Hello everyone, my google places was suspended when I joined Moz Local and used the service.....any idea whats going on?

If your Google Places listing has been suspended, it likely means Google has temporarily or permanently disabled it due to violations of their guidelines. Common reasons for suspension include misrepresentation, multiple listings, keyword stuffing, inappropriate content, fraudulent activity, and quality issues. To address a suspension, graphic designer review Google's guidelines, correct any violations, contact Google support for an appeal, be patient during the review process, and ensure compliance to prevent future suspensions. Staying informed about Google's policies is crucial for maintaining a healthy online presence.

I had this happened with my business but it isn't related to moz , suddenly google suspended my 10 years old google business listing that has 93 genuine reviews due to mass reporting on listing
if you have a listing and it has 2 - 3 times reviews reporting it may get suspended automatically because they don't monitor it and google bots takes all over that monitoring and moderation ! -
Hi there! Google Places suspension can be frustrating. When using third-party services like Moz Local, ensure you follow Google's guidelines for business listings to avoid potential violations. It's a good idea to reach out to Google Support for clarification on the suspension and work on resolving any issues promptly. Best of luck getting your listing back up!

Here're some ideas why it might be happening
Violation of Google's guidelines: Google Places (now known as Google My Business) has specific guidelines that businesses must adhere to. If your listing violates any of these guidelines, Google may suspend it. Common violations include using a fake address, creating multiple listings for the same business, or providing inaccurate information. Review the guidelines to ensure compliance.
Duplicate or inconsistent information: Moz Local is a service that helps manage your business listings across various online directories. It's possible that during the process, duplicate or inconsistent information was created, which triggered Google's suspicion. Ensure that your business information is accurate, consistent, and matches the details on your website.
Verification issues: Google often requires businesses to verify their listings to ensure their legitimacy. If there were any issues during the verification process, or if Google couldn't verify the information provided, it could lead to a suspension. Make sure you've completed the verification process correctly and provided accurate details.
Community or competitor reports: If someone in the community or a competitor reported your listing as spam or flagged it for a violation, it could result in a suspension. In such cases, Google will investigate the reports before taking action. If you believe your suspension is unjustified, you can appeal to Google to reinstate your listing.

Solved Apple Maps isn't syncing
Hi there! I have been using Mozlocal for a local client for a few months now. They recently opened, so I began the syncing process a few weeks ago. Apple Maps is reporting as synced when I view it in my Listings, but when viewing the actual listing on Apple Maps, the hours are very wrong. It is an important time of year for this business, and appearing as not open for 6 days a week is not great. Is there anything else I can do through Mozlocal to get this listing fully synced?

Unsolved How long do you tell your SEO customers to wait before they start to see actual results from their SEO?
So, this is probably one of the most challenging questions for SEO agencies likes ours to answer. That is how long does it take for a business to see an increase in sales, because of the business investing in organic or local SEO. It ultimately comes down to how competitive the business sector is, we do know that. We are just wondering what various SEO companies tell their clients. Is it for example, they have to wait a minimum of six months of paying for SEO, before they can get the business on page one of Google? Or, instead, do you carry out an SEO audit at the start, and then make an estimate for how long it will take to get the business on page one of Google?

MOZ not verifying my Google My Business listing
Hello Folks, Moz Local is not verifying my Google My Business Listing nor is it verifying the manual CSV upload. My Google My Business Listing and my manual CSV upload correctly display all of the same information as my Google My Business Listing and Facebook Page using the following Moz Local guidelines. The only thing that I can think of is that Moz Local is currently pulling up and older listing with a toll free number; however that has been corrected and the feed is real time, so I'm at a loss. Facebook The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local. The primary phone number listed must be a unique local number or a toll-free number. The primary page category must be “local business”. A minimum of 2 visitor check-ins are required. Not sure what to do here? Head to Facebook's resources to see how to let people check in and how you can check in. The page must be fully accessible to all potential visitors, so any restrictions based on age, location, etc. must be disabled. This can be easily checked by attempting to view the Facebook page in a Chrome incognito browser while not logged into a Facebook account; if you can view the page normally in these conditions, the accessibility should be in good shape! Google My Business The name, address, and phone number (NAP) listed on the page must be an exact match with the listing in Moz Local. The primary phone number listed must be a unique local number or a toll-free number. The business must not be listed as a “service area business”. A service area business displays with the street address being hidden, as well as the listing not being surfaced through the Google Places API (which is where we pull the listing details from). The listing must be verified by postcard. As a note, it may take a couple days after the postcard verification process for the listing to be available through the Google Places API. The listing must be completely searchable through Google Maps, with the full NAP listed correctly. Any help would be appreciated.
