I've created a Google Plus site for one of our group of companies. However, Google says "Google has suspended your page due to quality issues". The problem is Google will not show the updated contact details until I've filled in a request page. The page is Google My Business local business reinstatement request" and one of the questions while filling the form in is "What is the URL of your official Google+ page?"

I've typed the address I think it should be and clicked ok but Google highlights the question to say it's not correct. How do I find out what this address is?

Here's the address I think it should be plus.google.com/111385540284422630209/

You appear to have a second, very similar g+ page, I found this by searching for the company's name and address and restricting the search to plus.google.com
plus.google.com/116517652696883112626/
It seems that google may have picked up that both pages had the same address, website name, etc, and suspended the newer one as a result. Neither page has officially been linked to the company's website, which is an important next step and should allow you to claim the custom 'vanity URL' instructions

If you are using a Local Business page instead this process needs to be followed instead.

Hah its not your fault. Pardon the rant in this questions but Google+ is a confusing mess. For as much as they try to make this a keystone, and get people on it, G+ is far too fragmented and confusing for most who use it. Regardless, here is what i think might be wrong:

So the link you provided seems to highlight "profile" within the dropdown on the left side of the screen. This is hinting to me that it is not a page at all; rather its the profile assimilated to either A) legacy G+ entities before the migrate, or B) a non-location-based account designed for personal users...aka humans. This account could be summarized as "An owner of a property, for which the property has a page, for which the page is actually a Google local entity" So you are looking at an account designed to be used by a human, not your biz. Example, a profile like yours:

Fig-0


This might be an old G+ styled profile that needs migrated/merged, or it could be a real profile. We will never know. Regardless, here is what an actual business location page looks like:

Fig-1


What you need to do is visit www.google.com/business/ and log in using the owner/master account in order to see (or add) business locations. Ironically, this will drop you into plus.google.com and expose the business functions and dropdown menu item. Another alternative is to log into G+ with that same owner/master and click "pages" in the side nav, then "create new page". This will drop you, confusingly, into a different subdomain than the previous method uses. Either way you need to be in pages, on the owner/master account. If the business(s) is/are there, you will see something like this:

Fig-2


^^ So, if it exists, click one of the properties above (Fig-2) and skip to Fig-5 to view the profile

If there is nothing there, click the "get my page" and you will be presented with this wizard, which you must complete using the owner/master account, then address verify using postcards or something:

Fig-3


After you complete and verify, you should see business card listed like in Fig-2. Now since you are on the owner/master account there is a trick to view it....or you may want to add manager users (like yourself) on other accounts. To do either you click the blue button called "Manage this page" on the card from Fig-2. This is where you find page settings and the ability to actually view the page:

Fig-4


Once you are in manage page, choose your own adventure. You can either A) view the page from the side nav dropdown, or B) find the gear in the corner and manage settings/users.

Fig-5 - solves A)

^^ Clicking this link within a page management window should get you the correct biz page URL. Or perhaps you want to also add yourself, a human, as manager to be able to see the property and subsequent link in the future:

Fig-6 - solves B)


Followed by clicking the managers tab. Verify with the email link and you're safe to logout of owner/master and into your normal employee/personalized G account. G should now accept your mitigations/verifications as something from the company, rather than an "outsider" or whatever trying to work a non-logistical profile.
