Can your business name cause a suspension?
Type your business name. Use the same words that you see on Google. The tool then shows the parts that break the Google guidelines.
How to use this
The Google guidelines are clear. Your listing name must be the real name of your business. This is the name on your signs, your license and your documents.
Many owners add a city or a service to get a better position. This breaks the rules. It is a common cause of a suspension.
This tool finds place names, marketing words, separators, telephone numbers and service words. The tool does not know your legal name, so use the result as a guide. Read the Google guidelines for all of the rules.
Common questions
A service word is part of my real name. Is that a problem?
No. Your registered name can contain a service word. An example is Bayou Plumbing Co. Use the name on your signs and your documents.
Google suspended my listing. Is a name change sufficient?
Correct the name first. Do not make a new listing. A second listing for the same business breaks the Google rules and makes the problem worse.
