How we merged duplicate listings and reinstated a suspended Google Business Profile for a local bookkeeper, the right way and fully within Google’s guidelines.
When Shari Haley of Shari Haley Bookkeeping came to us, her Google presence was working against her. Duplicate listings were competing with one another, and a suspended Google Business Profile had dropped her off Google Search and Maps completely. For a bookkeeper who depends on being found locally, that’s missed calls, missed clients, and a real dent in trust.
It was also a tougher fix than it sounds. Financial and professional-service profiles are among the ones Google has been scrutinizing and suspending most aggressively right now, so a clean, by-the-book resolution mattered. No shortcuts that could get the profile flagged all over again.
Here’s how we resolved it, fully within Google’s guidelines:
The result: one verified, reinstated Google Business Profile, back where her customers can actually find her. We also connected GA4 so Shari can now measure the calls and traffic her profile drives, instead of just hoping it’s working.
In Shari’s words:
“Dustin of Volusia Branding & Digital was able to help me resolve a long-term issue with my Google business page that Google wouldn’t help me resolve.”
It’s an honor to help small business owners get back online, where they can be found and keep growing. We love supporting our community. Thank you, Shari, for trusting Volusia Branding.
