• Webinar: Google Business Profile Violations Google ACTUALLY Punishes

    Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET
    Duration: 2 Hours

    Google Business Profile suspensions, disappearing reviews, and sudden listing removals are happening more often than ever, and most business owners have no idea why.

    In this live webinar, we sit down with a seasoned Google Business Profile expert, Ben Fisher, who works inside the mess every day, dealing with real suspensions, failed verifications, spam networks, and review wipeouts.
