Scenario

A fictional service-area contractor changed its website and service-area settings, then found the profile suspended. The owner needs to show that the profile still represents the same eligible business.

Preparation goal

Keep the appeal narrow: identify the profile fact changes, match documents to the current profile, and explain what was corrected without adding unsupported claims.

Profile facts worksheet

Profile fact	Current entry	Evidence to check	Prep note
Business name	Example Heating & Cooling	Business registration, license, website header.	Matches documents. Do not add city or service keywords.
Address visibility	Hidden; service-area business.	Website service page, registration address, service-area settings.	Explain that customers are served at their location, not at a storefront.
Phone	Direct business line.	Website contact page, invoices, appointment confirmations.	Confirm it reaches the same business and is not an unrelated call center.
Website	New domain after rebrand.	Homepage, contact page, redirect notes, old domain reference.	Show continuity from old site to new site without over-explaining.
Category	HVAC contractor.	License, website services, invoice examples.	Keep one primary category aligned with the actual service.

Document matching worksheet

Document	Supports	Match check	Use in appeal?
State contractor license	Business name and service category.	Name matches; license category supports HVAC work.	Yes.
Utility bill	Business address and operation proof.	Address matches registration but not public profile because address is hidden.	Yes, with short context.
Website contact page screenshot	Phone, website, services, service-area language.	Phone matches profile; website is current.	Yes.
Old domain redirect note	Website change timeline.	Shows old domain now redirects to current domain.	Maybe, if website change appears relevant.
Service vehicle photo	Real-world business presence.	Logo and phone match current profile.	Maybe, if photo proof is useful.

Short appeal draft outline

One-sentence business identity: name, service type, and service-area model.
One-sentence correction note: website or profile fields were updated to match current business records.
Evidence list: registration, license, utility bill, website contact page, and service proof.
Scope boundary: factual reinstatement request, no policy argument, no claims the evidence cannot support.
