So many businesses knowingly or unknowingly spam their GMB listings. I edit spam most days in Google Maps. It may be annoying - but maybe your listing is spammy?

Ben - I do huge amounts of public edits as a Google local Guide in many locations, and also manage a handful of GMBs. I had not heard of editting being a potential problem. Do you have any links to more information on this? Thanks.

My understanding is that the business name (especially for franchises/chains etc) was the correct name and that the location is not usually part of the business name. I make these sort of edits regularly as a Google Local Guide (not as a competitor), as I see it as trying to influence the results.

Wait - "Google TOLD them it is ok to keyword spam in GMB???
