Types of GMB Compliance Auditing

One Off Compliance Audits

One off audits to ensure that systems in place are 3rd party policy compliant, this assumes that the company has an internal auditor that maintains policy and that any new GMB policies are adhered to.

The typical use of a one off compliance audit is after the company has suffered from mass suspensions of clients business listings.

Regular Compliance Audits

We offer monthly, bi-yearly and annual compliance audits.

If the company uses call handlers as part of their process – this part can only be audited in the UK.

These audits take place on the premises and require full access to systems, agents and call handlers.

This service also involves keeping the company updated of any new 3rd party policy updates from Google and the correct implementation of these by the company.

Deficiency Identification

If a deficiency is identified that does not impact a 3rd party business we recommend changes to implemented by next audit.

If a deficiency is identified that has affected a 3rd party business we request immediate rectification and depending on the severity of deficiency the company will be reported for the 3rd party policy violation.

3rd Party Business Complaints

If a 3rd party business has followed a link from a companies website please note the following:

Invoicing matters are not part of Googles 3rd party policies, you will need to take this up as a normal business practice, civil matter or see your solicitor.
