Why Your Business Is Not Showing on Google Maps
One of the most frustrating things for a business owner is searching for your own service in Houston and not seeing your company anywhere on the map. Here are the most common reasons why this happens.
1. You Haven't Verified Your Listing
If you haven't received the postcard from Google or finished the video verification process, your listing won't show up. Google needs to know you are a real business at a real location.
2. Your Listing is Suspended
Check Your Email
Check your Google Business Profile dashboard. If it says 'Suspended', you need to fix the compliance issues before it will reappear.
3. Inconsistent NAP Data
If your Name, Address, or Phone number (NAP) is different on your website than it is on your GBP, Google gets confused. Confusion = lower rankings. Consistency is key.
