Well, they are not 100% duplicates. So, my listing title is 'DateinaDash - Speed Dating Events in London' and the other profiles are just 'DateinaDash' and at different addresses. All the addresses are other businesses which are already on maps (they are the physical venues we use to host the...

Hi everyone, I have a business verified on GMB for 10 years or so. Recently numerous other duplicate profiles have appeared under the same name (well slightly different) for my business. The reason for this is because we are an events company and we run events at various pubs, bars etc Google...

So small update, the reviews are now back (176 from 198) but whilst I can see my listing from GMB by clicking 'view on search or maps' when you search for my exact business address / name you don't see the listing in Google and it doesn't appear ANYWHERE in my category. Not even if I search for...

So after 3 weeks of back and forth and several different reasons as to why my business profile was disabled and it actually transpired that because we recently turned into a Ltd company the address on companies house and the address on my Google profile didn't match. The address on companies...

Anyone able to help?

Hi Joy, Whether or not the business model is eligible or not I think can be put to one side for the moment. It would seem that what they are now after is proof that my business exists. I mean, this does seem a bit strange! Isn't proof my business exists the fact that I have a website Speed...

My business doesn’t have a shopfront. Can I still have a Business Profile? Yes, you can have a profile if your business doesn’t have a physical address as long as you make in-person contact with customers. You can also have a profile if you’re a hybrid business that serves customers at your...

Hi Joy, Thanks for your response, although I still believe I am eligible for a listing on maps as I have been on there for the last 10 years and when I have had issues with suspension(s) before I have always been reverified. Even as recently as 3 months ago when I reported a duplicate listing...

The latest twist to this nightmare...apparently it has been escalated as far as it can go, i'm not eligible BUT if i can prove that the business exists?! (WHAT?!) then she can look at it again... I have never heard of something so ridiculous. Why would I have a website / want to be on Google...

The saga continues.. I responded and explained that my business is a SAB and therefore we don't have a shop front /signage or display an address (it's hidden) and the response I have got now is.. So, in the previous e-mail she has said that the reason is because I need permanent signage IF I...

And so the nonsense continues.. here is the latest response! It is now clear that it has been disabled because I do not have a shopfront / signage BUT MY BUISNESS IS A SAB AND IT IS SET AS THIS IN GMB!!! As per advice of Google in the past I set it to 'serve customers at their location' we do...

Hi Nathan, I have had a response and it is exactly what I expected. Honestly, it is not worth reporting anything to Google or making any changes to your profile for the risk that it gets suspended/disabled because it's such a nuisance to get it back online. I run through this problem every...

Not on this occasion. To give you an update it was ‘escalated’ to a supervisor on Friday and I was told to wait 24-48 hrs. It’s now been a week since I asked for a duplicate listing I did not create to be removed. My page has been down for a whole week. I have actually managed to now remove...

Hi Nathan, Thanks for getting back to me. Still I have my listing disabled and the incorrect one appearing on maps for my business. I have provided documentation for verification some days ago and it's now been 'escalated to a specialist' and I have to wait 24-48 hours (this was yesterday) I...

Hi everyone, I have a 10 year old verified Google listing. It has always ranked A or B in the map pack and has 198 reviews with daily posts, images etc. Over the last few months i've had problems with another listing for my business randomly appearing on maps at a different address. I am not...
