Google says it can lead to suspension. ([Google's guideline](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177)) - Using a P.O. box or a virtual office you don't work from as your address. ([Google's guideline](https://support.google.com/business/answer/13762416)) - Showing your home address instead of hiding it and setting service areas. ([Google's guideline](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177)) - Using a business name on your profile that differs from the one Google verified for your ads. ([Google's guideline](https://support.google.com/business/answer/3038177)) - Creating a new profile for the same business, including after a suspension. Appeal instead; Google allows one appeal. ([Google's guideline](https://support.google.com/business/answer/4569145)) ## FAQs ### Why use Garage door supplier if we mostly do repairs? It's the only garage door category in the public copies of Google's list we checked. Repair and install companies use it, and your services list shows what you actually do. ### Is there a Garage door repair category? Not in the copies we checked. Avoid categories you can't find in your profile's own category picker. ### Does Advanced Verification affect my Business Profile? It's an ads rule. Google requires garage door services advertising in the US to pass Advanced Verification, so keep your profile name identical to your verified business. ## Sources 1.
