In this episode, I'm joined by Amy Toman, Google Business Profile expert who's been helping businesses navigate Google listings for over a decade. After reaching diamond level in Google's listing forum (the highest tier), Amy has become the go-to person for solving suspension issues and optimization challenges.

Here's what we dive into:

  • What your Google Business Profile actually does for local visibility
  • Essential guidelines that prevent suspension (and what triggers it)
  • How to optimize for niche services when no category exists
  • The real impact of reviews on your search rankings
  • Why fake reviews will backfire and what Google's new detection methods mean
  • How to handle negative reviews without making things worse
  • The difference between soft and hard suspensions and how to get reinstated
  • Why one bad review shouldn't tank your rating (and what to do if it does)

"Follow Google's guidelines, keep it simple and straightforward, and you're going to be all right. The more active you are, the more likely Google will recommend you."
