Appeal evidence prep
If your Business Profile is suspended or disabled, the appeal is easier to prepare when the business name, address, phone, website, and service-area facts all line up before you open the evidence form.
Google's Business Profile appeal help lists examples such as official business registration, business licenses, tax certificates, and utility bills. It also tells businesses to check that document names and addresses match the profile being appealed.

Service-area businesses often hide their address publicly, use a field phone number, change websites, or operate from a home office. The goal is not to over-explain. The goal is to make the facts consistent and easy to review.
| Document | Check before using it | Common risk |
|---|---|---|
| Business registration | Business name, status, filing location, and address. | Old entity name or address does not match the profile. |
| License or permit | Trade name, license holder, service category, and active status. | License belongs to a person while the profile uses a company name. |
| Tax certificate | Business identity and address fields. | Document exposes sensitive numbers that should be reviewed before submission. |
| Utility or phone bill | Business name, address, service date, and provider. | Bill is personal-only or too old to support the current profile facts. |
| Website and service pages | Same name, phone, category, and service area shown on the profile. | Website copy adds keywords or locations that conflict with the profile. |
Review private account numbers, customer details, and tax identifiers before deciding what to submit. MapAppeal Kit stores nothing for you; it is a local template pack.
Pick the exact business name used on official records and compare it to the Business Profile, website header, footer, and invoices.
For service-area businesses, separate the private operating address from the public service-area display. Do not invent a storefront.
Use plain statements about what changed, what matches, and what evidence is attached. Avoid blame, keyword stuffing, or promises.
The $19 kit turns the proof packet into worksheets: a document matching worksheet, 60-minute evidence window runbook, self-audit checklist, appeal statement drafts, and submission log template.
