Business does not exist here

[Peterpetrov]

Hi, A company called "The Bournemouth Locksmith" In Dorset England says on it's GMB profile that it is a shop. It is a service area Business registerrd to a restaurant in a shopping mall. They do not see customers at the address. I have tried many times to Edit in maps wihout success and repoted to business addresall twice with no success. If you look on Google earth the address is a restaurant. 14 Royal Arcade, Boscombe, Bournemouth BH1 4BT. Can anyone tell me why Google allows this?
Thank you.

Locksmith is one of the categories where Google automatically rejects edits. What evidence did you submit when you redressed it? If it has been over 30 days, you can post on the help forum.

Maybe they are the spouse of the restaurant owner. Have you tried calling the number? A google search for the business suggests they do actually exist.

Based on my experience battling spam and the locksmith industry, these spammers create fake listings at addresses where they are not located. In order to create a GBP, you need a separate office with signage. I doubt that this locksmith did or has this.
