Welllll guess what, the listing is back. And it has a bunch of new reviews... imagine that. I checked for the first time today after getting back from a trip. I think the listing had to be gone at least a week or two. 2 URLs that I had saved for it no longer work (one a share link at...

Holy smokes, the UPS Store listing is gone! That's wonderful. One egregious violation of Google's guidelines down. ✅ What did you do... just "suggest an edit" in Google Maps? And it wasn't immediately denied for you? I'll have to check back to see if it reappears. And there are hundreds or...

😮 Good luck!!

UPDATE- Well, after 6 weeks or so of communicating with Mike, and with Mike communicating with Google, providing them with more detail, and pushing back on them... Google reiterates to him that these listings are in compliance. So I've hit the end of the road there. With how strange this is, I...

Hah, thank you. But I would guess probably the edit was denied immediately if you check. I don't know if there is any cumulative effect. I believe I just put the Google Maps listing URL in the "What is the public URL for the location" field in the redressal form. My photos are right there in...

Alright, it has been more than 2 weeks since my last submission of the Business Redressal Form. The listing remains. So I just posted in the community forum! I'll cross my fingers 🤞 Here's my post - https://support.google.com/business/thread/305983823

Ok thanks. Do people actually get emails from Google support? :ROFLMAO: Well, it's been more than 3 weeks, so I submitted the Business Redressal Form again a couple days ago. The automatic email says- So I'll just check back in a couple weeks to see if the listing is still there, and if it...

Thanks for the reply. That doesn't seem like the right thing to do. But I gave it a shot anyway since the straightforward method didn't work and I'm just trying to figure out how things work here. This edit was also immediately denied. They did send me an email saying - I got one last time...

It has been about 2.5 weeks now since I submitted the redressal form and I haven't seen any further email from Google. And the listing is still there. How long should I wait before submitting it again?

I submitted the redressal form. We'll see how it goes!

Thank you Stefan. Alright, I will try the redressal form for this one and we'll see how it goes! Do you know what I should put in for the field titled "Name of the entity or organization that is getting impacted. *"? I imagine that this language would make more sense for fake reviews, incorrect...

It seems like Google is fine with UPS Store and PO Box style listings, in contradiction to their policy. I'd be interested to hear what you have heard about this kind of thing lately, from Google or product experts. I'm just coming back to look at this again. I recently made several attempts to...
