          Google will not publish my website to my business profile. https://maps.app.goo.gl/8sy4VD4Nin4zL2J49

          Is this an issue with MOZ local or something else I need to do?

          My website is

          https://poolrepairpro.com

          I am using godaddy as my registrar and also using their website builder.

          I have integrated my google business profile/ reviews with godaddy website. I have submitted my sitemap to search console, connected google analytics, connected search console to analytics. I am also using gsuite for my email...

          Nate

            If Google Business disapproves your website's URL, it could be due to several reasons such as malformation, domain issues, or non-compliance with their guidelines. To address this:

            1. Proper Formatting: Ensure that your URL is correctly formatted. It should start with "http://" or "https://" and should be in a standard format without any unusual characters or spaces.

            2. Active URL: Make sure that your website is active and accessible. If it's down or under maintenance, Google may not approve it.

            3. Compliance with Guidelines: Check Google's guidelines for business listings and ensure that your website meets all the necessary requirements. This includes having accurate and up-to-date information, relevant content, and adhering to Google's policies regarding content and behavior.

            4. Domain Issues: Verify that there are no issues with your domain such as being flagged for malware, phishing, or other malicious activities. Also, ensure that your domain is not a subdomain or a free-hosted domain which Google may not approve.

            5. Contact Support: If the issue persists despite ensuring the above points, consider reaching out to Google Business support for further assistance. They can provide specific guidance based on your situation.
