If your profile is suspended in Brisbane, you have one real problem
You are invisible on Google Maps. Your phone has stopped ringing.
Your competitors are still there. Every day the profile is down, you are losing leads that should have been yours, in a market that is growing fast and getting more competitive by the month.
We see the same pattern from Brisbane businesses across Fortitude Valley, West End, Chermside, Springfield, and Logan: tradies with no fixed address, real estate offices, allied health clinics, mortgage brokers, hospitality operators. Google's algorithmic filter triggers, the profile gets suspended or disabled, the listing disappears from Maps and local pack, and the business owner is left clicking "Appeal" with no idea what to send.
We deal with this every week. Our entire business is Google Business Profile reinstatement.

Why Brisbane businesses pick GBP Doctor
Specialist reinstatement, not a generalist agency
-
Perth-based, Brisbane-served: it does not matter where we sit
A Google Business Profile appeal is submitted online, through Google's own channels, wherever you are. There is no local-office advantage in this work. What matters is that the person building your case has done it hundreds of times, and that person is on your case from day one, not a junior handed the file.
-
We do nothing else
GBP Doctor is not an agency offering many services. Profile reinstatement and Google Business Profile health is the entire business. That is why our 98% success rate exists. We have seen every suspension category Google has, multiple times.
-
Money-back guarantee
You pay $499 incl. GST upfront to start the case. If we cannot get your profile back, you are fully refunded. We will not take cases we do not believe we can win, which is why the success rate is what it is.
-
Brisbane verticals Google hits hardest
Trades (electricians, plumbers, builders), tourism-adjacent hospitality, real estate agencies, allied health, and mortgage brokers. Brisbane's fast-growing service-area trade market is one of the categories Google's filter targets most often, and one of the ones we see most.
-
Founder-led
Dorian Menard runs every recovery. You will not be passed to a junior account manager once you have signed. The person who diagnoses your case writes the appeal.
-
Sister company for ongoing SEO
Once your profile is back, our sister company Search Scope handles ongoing Google Maps SEO for Brisbane businesses. Same founder, different specialty.
What it costs
$499 incl. GST. Reinstated or refunded.
For complex cases stuck past two appeals, or a profile suspended for over six months, the fee is $599 incl. GST or more because the work takes longer and the documentation needs are heavier. We will tell you which bucket your case falls into before you commit.
Fixed fee, paid upfront to start. No retainer. No monthly management pretending to be a recovery service. Fully refunded if we don't get your profile back.
Beyond reinstatement
Rank in Brisbane, do not just survive
Getting your profile back is step one. Staying visible in Brisbane's local pack, in a market that is growing fast, is step two.
Once your profile is live again, our sister company Search Scope handles ongoing Google Maps SEO for Brisbane businesses: ranking optimisation, review strategy, post cadence, photo SEO, citation cleanup, competitor outranking.
If your reinstatement was triggered by a deeper issue (thin profile, weak citations, duplicate listings, off-brand reviews), we will tell you, and you can decide whether to engage Search Scope for the long-term work.
One founder, two specialists
- GBP Doctor: Reinstatement (this site). One-off, paid upfront, money-back guarantee.
- Search Scope: Ongoing Google Maps and local SEO. Monthly engagement.
You are not the same client to both. Most reinstatement clients never need Search Scope. We introduce them only when there is a real reason.
How it works
Five steps to a recovered profile
-
Tell us what happened
Use the contact form or email us. Include screenshots, the message Google sent you, and the date the profile went down. We reply within AWST business hours; Brisbane runs 2 hours ahead of Perth year-round, since Queensland does not observe daylight saving. Want to check we are real first? Call and speak with us before you commit.
-
We diagnose and quote
Within 24 hours we come back with what we think triggered the suspension, the documents we need from you, a realistic timeline, and the price ($499 or $599 incl. GST). If we do not believe we can recover the profile, we will tell you and not take the engagement.
-
You pay upfront, we build the appeal
The fixed fee is invoiced and paid before work starts. You send us the documents we asked for. We write the appeal, prepare the evidence kit, and submit through the correct Google channel for your suspension type.
-
We follow up until it is back
Google often goes silent. We chase, escalate, and re-submit with adjusted evidence if the first appeal is denied. The 98% rate is built on the fact that we do not stop at one attempt.
-
Reinstated or refunded
If your profile comes back online, the case is closed. If we cannot get it back, you are refunded in full.

Robyn Moss
Dorian was exceptional. Very professional and was able to complete an audit of our google profile efficiently and effectively, enabling us to get our profile reinstated promptly. Would highly recommend his services and look forward to working with him again on future projects.
Daniel Gerardis
I engaged with Dorian/Search Scope due to my GBP being suspended. I had tried numerous approaches to reinstating my profile which had all failed. After months of attempting to reinstate my profile with help from my marketing company also, I still had no luck. Dorian was extremely professional and easy to deal with. Not even five days later, my GBP is now reinstated and we are back in business.
Mel, PD Law
Dorian is amazing! He responded to my online enquiry within 10 minutes and from that moment I knew I was in safe hands. After spending 6 weeks trying to have our Google profile reinstated, Dorian quickly identified the issues and helped us rectify them. Our profile was reinstated within a week of contacting him. Thank you, Dorian, for taking the stress away and getting such a quick outcome for our business!
Aniket Aryal
If your Google Business Profile is suspended and you're losing sleep, call Dorian. I run a physical retail store in Australia. My GBP was suspended with a vague 'policy violation.' Then Google suspended my Ads account too. Two appeals. Auto-rejected. Then I found Dorian. He doesn't charge unless he wins. A week later, account reinstated. Ads back. Reviews safe. He saved my business.
Yvette Franzos
I am so grateful to Dorian for getting my business profile reinstated after four weeks of suspension. It caused me so much stress losing my profile as it impacted my business greatly. Dorian was efficient, supportive and excellent at communicating exactly what I needed to do throughout the entire process. He was able to get my profile back online within just a few days. I deeply appreciate his skills, support, and dedication, highly recommend his services!
Silvana La Pegna
Dorian got my Google Business Profile reinstated in a couple of days after 2 lost appeals. He prioritised my case, told me what I had to do and he stepped in and did the rest. There is a lot to know when it comes to GBP guidelines and I'm so glad I called him. It was a pleasure working with him.
Daniel Keily
Search Scope was my saviour! My company GMB page was suspended for about 6 months and after multiple attempts I couldn't solve the issue. I reached out to Search Scope to get my Google Business page unsuspended and Dorian and his team had it sorted within 10 days. I couldn't be more grateful.
Natasha F.
Dorian helped us to get our google business back and running in 24 hours! His fast responses, knowledge and his Google team have keep the process fast tracked, smooth and easy. Step by step guidance, and instructions made easy to understand, help us to follow without confusion.

What Brisbane business owners ask us
Common questions
Do I need a Brisbane-based agency to fix a Brisbane listing?
No. A Google Business Profile appeal is lodged through Google's own appeal channels, not in person, so where we are based has no bearing on the outcome. What actually matters is appeal quality and follow-up persistence, which is the entire business we run.
How fast can you get my profile back?
Most suspensions are resolved in 2-10 business days. Disabled profiles take longer (5-14 days) because Google's verification process is more involved. Profiles that have already had two or more failed appeals can take three weeks. We give a realistic estimate after diagnosis, not a salesy 24-hour reinstatement promise.
My profile was suspended for "suspicious activity". Can you help?
Yes. Suspicious activity is one of Google's vaguest suspension categories and the one we see most often, including from Brisbane trades and service-area businesses. It is almost always algorithmic, not a human decision. We have a specific documentation strategy for it.
I have already appealed and been denied. Is it too late?
No. The majority of cases we take on have already failed at least one appeal before they reach us. A denied appeal does not permanently close the door, it just means the first attempt's evidence was not enough. We rebuild from scratch.
What documents will you need from me?
In Australia we typically need: ASIC business name registration (or company extract), a recent utility bill at the business address, an industry licence if applicable, and a commercial lease if you have a storefront. We send the exact list during diagnosis.
What time zone do you work in, and does that matter for Brisbane clients?
We work Perth business hours (AWST). Brisbane runs a steady 2 hours ahead year-round, since Queensland does not switch to daylight saving like the southern states do. Diagnosis emails go out within our business hours, but active appeals are monitored continuously, so the time difference does not add delay to the case itself.
What if my appeal succeeds before you even start work?
That has happened. If you appeal successfully on your own before we begin the engagement and before payment, you do not pay. Once the fixed fee is paid and we have started the case, our standard money-back guarantee applies if the profile does not come back.
Are you the same team as Search Scope?
Same founder (Dorian Menard), same parent business, different specialties. GBP Doctor is the reinstatement specialist. Search Scope does ongoing Google Maps and local SEO, including for Brisbane clients. Most reinstatement clients do not need Search Scope. The ones who do, we introduce.
