Critical Issues
Google Policy Check
Google's Business Profile guidelines ask for the real-world business name in the name field, with services, locations, and marketing wording kept in the fields built for them. This matters because Google can suspend listings over name issues, and a suspension would take everything this report measures offline with it. This check reads the name as Google currently publishes it and does not affect the score above.
This check is automated and conservative, and only Google can rule on a name with authority. If the wording above is the business's consistently used real-world name on signage and branding, it may comply as written.
