In episode 315 of our weekly Hump Day Hangouts, one viewer asked if the team have encountered problems reinstating GMB listings in the towing industry. The exact question was: Hello, i have a couple GMB listings for towing services. They are spammy listings within a county. Lately i have been creating listings and as soon as i verify the listings they are automatically getting suspended. When i contact google to reinstate the listings they want proof of business license or utility bill showing my business name and address. Is anyone else having this problem when creating listings or is it just the towing industry?
