## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## Google Business Profile Suspension Checker – GBP Audit

Paste a Google Maps place URL or "business name, city" and this actor estimates how likely the Google Business Profile is to be suspended, as a 0–100 risk score with every risk factor and how to fix it. It checks the usual triggers from public data (keywords in the name, incomplete address, missing basics, unclaimed profile, review bursts) before you edit, re-verify or appeal.

> **Need a done-for-you report?** [Revunda Google Business Profile audit, €19](https://revunda.xyz/local/?utm_source=apify\&utm_medium=actor\&utm_campaign=gbp-suspension-risk-audit\&utm_content=readme-top) · already suspended? [ProfileRescue, €29](https://revunda.xyz/local/rescue/?utm_source=apify\&utm_medium=actor\&utm_campaign=gbp-suspension-risk-audit\&utm_content=readme-top-rescue) writes the appeal.

> **Important:** this is a *heuristic* estimate built from incomplete public data. It is **not** an official Google audit and cannot predict what Google will do. Use it as a checklist before you edit or re-verify a profile.

### What it checks

| Signal | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| "Claim this business" visible | Unclaimed profiles can be edited by anyone; owner can't reply |
| Extra keywords in the name (city, "best", "24h", `|`) | Google guidelines ask the name to match real signage |
| Address completeness (street, postal code) | Storefronts need a full address; service-area businesses should hide it |
| Primary category, phone, hours, website | Missing basics look inactive / unverifiable |
| Photo count | Storefront photos help confirm the location |
| Recent review velocity | Sudden review bursts are filtered by Google |
| Share of 5★ reviews with no text | Low-quality review pattern |
| Rating and owner reply rate | Shows whether the profile is actively managed |
| Closed status | Wrong "closed" status kills visibility |

### Output (one item per place)

`riskScore` (0–100), `riskTier` (low / medium / high / critical), `riskFactors[]` (severity, points, evidence, fixAdvice), `whatGoogleMayFlag` (plain-English summary), `signals` (raw values), `disclaimer`, `nextStep`.

Set **Summary language** to `es` or `ru` for Spanish or Russian text.

### Example input

```json
{ "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Bar%20Pinotxo%20Barcelona" }], "maxReviewsPerPlace": 20, "locale": "en" }
```

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.49 per place audited** (`place-audit`). Public data is fetched by calling `compass/crawler-google-places` on your Apify account, so its own small usage fee also applies (typically a few cents per place).

### Use cases

- Agencies: pre-check new local SEO clients before touching their profile
- Owners: find out why a profile was suspended or keeps getting re-verified
- Bulk-audit a list of locations for a franchise

### FAQ

#### Does it log into Google Business Profile?

No. Only public Google Maps data is used.

#### Will a low score guarantee no suspension?

No. Google uses signals we cannot see.

#### Need a human-ready report?

The [Revunda Google Business Profile audit, €19](https://revunda.xyz/local/?utm_source=apify\&utm_medium=actor\&utm_campaign=gbp-suspension-risk-audit\&utm_content=faq-audit) is a PDF with up to 10 fixes in priority order.

#### Why was my Google Business Profile suspended?

The most common triggers are keywords or a city stuffed into the business name, a virtual office or P.O. box address, many recent edits, duplicate listings, and a website or phone that does not match the profile. This audit flags the ones visible in public data.

#### My business disappeared from Google Maps. Is it suspended?

Search your exact business name and city. If it does not appear at all and you got an email from Google, it is likely suspended; if it appears for the name but not for keywords, it is a ranking or filter issue, not a suspension.

#### Should I edit my profile before appealing?

Fix real guideline violations, but avoid many rapid edits. Collect proof (registration, licence, utility bill with the same name and address) and appeal once through Google’s appeals tool.

#### Is this an official Google tool?

No. It is a heuristic estimate from public data and cannot predict Google’s decision.

#### Can I check many locations at once?

Yes. Add one URL or "business name, city" per location; you get one row per place, priced per place audited.
