Fix the root cause first
For Law Firms, the most common fix is: multiple attorneys listed under one profile. Do not appeal until this is corrected — submitting without fixing the cause is the most common reason appeals fail.

Gather your evidence
You have 60 minutes once you open Google's form. Prepare all files before you open it: state business registration, bank statement or commercial lease (utility bills not accepted since June 2025), website screenshot, GBP screenshot, and signage photo if you have a physical location.

Write a specific appeal letter (under 1,000 characters)
Your letter must directly acknowledge Google's stated reason and describe what you fixed. For Law Firms: avoid generic statements. Be specific about the exact correction — name change, address update, business type change, or duplicate removal.

Submit once and monitor
Upload up to 5 evidence files, paste your appeal letter, and submit once. Duplicate submissions flag your account. Response typically takes 3–10 business days. After reinstatement, enable daily monitoring to prevent re-suspension.
