Hard suspension
Shared office / virtual address
Google enforces that the listed address is a real, staffed location open to customers. Shared or virtual addresses are flagged automatically.
Signals you're hit by this
- Address is a coworking floor, Regus suite, or virtual office provider.
- Multiple businesses verified to the same suite number.
Remediation
- If you genuinely operate from a private, signposted suite within the building, appeal with photos of your suite door, signage, and a lease.
- Otherwise, switch to a service-area model and clear the address.
Prevention
- Avoid virtual offices for GBP. Use a service area if you don't have a real storefront.
