Google Places accounts were disabled.

Hi guys! Anyone have any idea how to work around a disabled Google Places account. I haven't received any email regarding this disabling of my accounts, so is this just a glitch on Google's part?

Any thoughts on this will be greatly welcomed and appreciated.

Multiple accounts? Why multiple Google Places accounts?

Multiple accounts? Why multiple Google Places accounts?

Sorry, I haven't made myself clear. Those are for different clients.

But they were all 'managed' from one PC, one IP address?

No they weren't. The handling of the accounts were done on different PC's with different IP's.

Is it possible that this is just a mistake on Google's part? Shouldn't I be receiving a notice on my email regarding this, if ever a penalty was the reason for it?

Hi there,

Handling multiple listings for different clients via the same account is a bad practice in general. Two main reasons:

1. If the account gets suspended, all listings go bye bye

2. If a client wants access to their listing, you cannot provide, because you have other clients' listings under the same account

Anyway, was your account suspended? If yes, it means that you violated the Google Places Quality Guidelines and you will have to find out where the problem came from. If you want, I could help you solve the mystery in private.

Thank you very much for your offer, but this has been posted for quite some time ago, and has already been resolved.

Hi,

you placed a problem, people tried to help, and you didnt say how it got resolved. Not very community minded?!

if you return to this post could you please detail specifically how it was resolved as I have had similar issues in the past. I had to create a whole new account, so all the valid listings got blown away.

the pain is in inputting all of the data from scratch and getting google to verify you as a valid account holder.
