For Texas home-service owners
Your Google profile went down. Here's what to do first.
A step-by-step kit for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical and other service companies whose Google Business Profile is suspended, stuck in verification, or one bad edit away from it.
When your profile drops off Google Maps, the phone goes quiet and the first instinct is to start clicking. That's usually when it gets worse:
- You make a new profile to get back up fast, and now Google sees a duplicate.
- You send an appeal the same afternoon with no documents, and Google says appeals can only be submitted once.
- You run the business from your truck and your house, and you have no idea what to show Google in a verification video.
The Rescue Kit walks you through it in order: what not to touch in the first hour, how to tell a suspension from a restricted account, a stuck verification or a plain ranking drop, the usual causes for service-area trades, the paperwork Google lists and the Texas documents that match it, a one-shot appeal, and a verification video plan for businesses with no storefront. Every Google rule in it comes from Google's own help pages, quoted and dated.
What's inside:
- A first-hour plan, with the moves that turn a fixable problem into a long one
- A table to tell suspended, restricted, unverified and ranking drop apart
- 7 usual causes for service-area businesses, each tied to Google's guidelines, with owner reports clearly labeled as reports
- An evidence pack checklist with the Texas versions: certificate of formation, assumed name certificate, TDLR or TSBPE license, sales tax permit and city registration, only where they apply to you
- A name and address match check, a fill-in appeal worksheet and a short explanation template
- An 8-shot plan for a verification video when you work from a truck or home, what to keep out of frame, and a retake checklist
- A 20-point safety audit, a do-not-touch list, a safe order for edits and a 5-minute monthly check
- A one-page "profile down" plan to print and keep in the truck
Who it's for: owners of small home-service companies, especially ones run from a truck, shop or home office. Written Texas-first, and the Google steps work anywhere in the US.
What it isn't: Texas Booked is not affiliated with Google, and no one can guarantee reinstatement. Google makes that call. This kit helps you get your profile in line with Google's rules and send one clear, documented appeal or verification video. It isn't legal or tax advice either.
Guarantee: work through the kit and rescore your profile with the audit. If your profile score doesn't improve within 30 days, email us and you get your money back.
$37, one payment. An 18-page PDF delivered by email right after you pay by card.
Questions:
Will this get my profile back? We can't promise that, and neither can anyone else. Google reviews every appeal itself. The kit makes sure you don't make it worse, that your profile follows the rules, and that your one appeal is complete and backed by documents.
How long does it take? About an hour for the first-hour plan, then a few hours over a day or two to gather documents and write the appeal. Google says appeal reviews can take up to 5 business days.
My profile isn't suspended. Is this still for me? Yes, if you're stuck on verification or want to avoid trouble. Module 5 covers the verification video and Module 6 is all prevention.
I work from home. Do I have to show my address? No. Google says service-area businesses should hide their address. The kit shows you how to verify without a storefront.
I'm not in Texas. Will it work for me? Yes. The Google steps are the same everywhere. Swap the Texas documents for your state's versions.
Is this a course or a subscription? Neither. It's one PDF you keep. No logins, no monthly fee.
Can my office manager do it? Yes, as long as they can sign in to the Google account that owns or manages the profile.
How does the refund work? If your audit score doesn't go up within 30 days, email us and we'll refund the $37.
Your card statement will show the charge as MADETHIS* TEXAS BOOKED. Paying by bank transfer (ACH)? It arrives once the payment clears, usually 3 to 5 business days.
