Send me the suspension notice. Within 24 hours you get a plain-English diagnosis of why it happened and the exact appeal package Google expects from a licensed contractor. If the profile does not come back, you owe nothing.

Start the reinstatement
I text you within 24 hours with the diagnosis and what I need from you. Nothing is billed until the profile is restored.
Most notices say "quality issues" and nothing else. The appeal has to fix the actual cause, not just ask nicely. It is almost always one of these:
The diagnosis tells you which one it actually was. Then the appeal fixes it.
Google wants proof of a real, licensed, insured business at a real address, and every name and address has to match. For a California contractor that means:
The public lookup page for your license number, showing it active and in the business name on the profile.
Dated within 90 days, insured name and address matching the profile.
Proves the federal registration. Harder to fake than a utility bill, which is why it works.
Address hidden on a service-area business, duplicates removed, rule-breaking posts deleted, before the appeal goes in.
I assemble the package, check every name and address matches, and file the appeal with you on the call.
The profile was suspended for a content violation after an older post asked customers for reviews and three updates went out on one day. We deleted the posts, hid the home address on the service-area listing, and filed the appeal with the CSLB lookup, the certificate of insurance and the CP-575 letter. Google restored the profile in under 24 hours. Then we spaced the edits out and kept it live.
Four steps, and you only pay at step four.
Use the form above or text it to 619-975-0717.
You get the real reason it was suspended and the short list of documents I need.
One call. I make the profile compliant, assemble the package and submit it with you.
Seven days hands off after reinstatement, then the changes that keep it from happening again.
Reinstatement, pay on success
Flat fee. Billed only after Google restores your profile. Not restored, no charge.
Want it kept that way and ranking? Ongoing profile management is part of the $447/mo local SEO system. Optional, month to month, no contracts.

I built Echo Local because home service businesses were getting ripped off by SEO agencies. They would pay $2,000 to $5,000 a month for vague reports and recycled blog posts. When they stopped paying, everything disappeared.
I think about an SEO system the same way I think about a 401k. The work I do today should still be paying you back five years from now. That is the difference between renting visibility and owning it.
I only work with home service businesses, and I do the work myself. No account managers, no handoffs, no offshore contractor doing your content. If you have a question, you text me.
Once the appeal is filed with the right package, Google usually answers in one to fourteen days. The last contractor appeal I filed was approved in under 24 hours. Appeals filed with the wrong documents are the ones that drag on for weeks.
We look at exactly what the denial says, strengthen the package and refile. If the profile stays suspended, you do not pay. The $349 is billed only after Google restores it.
For a service-area contractor without a storefront, the state license lookup, a current certificate of insurance and the IRS EIN letter usually do the job. If Google specifically asks for a utility bill we add it then.
Yes. The process is built around California contractor licensing, so any California contractor works the same way. Outside California, ask; licensing differs by state and I will tell you honestly if I can help.
In most cases the reviews return with the profile. Google does not guarantee it and neither can I.
Hiding the home address on a service-area business, spacing out edits instead of batching them, and keeping posts inside Google's content rules. I set those up as part of the reinstatement.
Every day the profile is down is a day the calls go to someone else. Send the notice, get the diagnosis within 24 hours, and pay only when it is back.
