Fake listing on google maps spamming

[Bambino]

Hello and Happy New Year 2025,
These people are flooding Google Maps with fake listings. I submitted a suggestion to Google to close these fake businesses on Google Maps, but no action has been taken.
There are 11 listings under the same name and website, all located close to each other. If you request a service, another company shows up with a different name and sometimes even the same phone number.

You need to use the business redressal form.

Hello and thank you for your feedback,
I've already reported it ... several times ... but no reaction from google

 

[JS Girard]

Honestly, repeated reporting of each separate listing for multiple violations is the most effective in my experience. it's a somewhat length manual process, but running it once a week eventually works.

Hello and thank you for your feedback!
I'll try to report them one by one ...
Aren't there any other ways apart from the google request ?

 

[JS Girard]

Getting a product specialist's help is pretty much the only option as far as I'm aware. That said antispam work over time is pretty efficient. I report separately each location for spam/does not exist/private location, so yes it does take some time, but if you know your way around keyboard navigation, you can streamline the process pretty efficiently.

here's a report over time from a case I dealt with. I was doing mass reports every week or whenever I had the time, hence irregular dates:

All right, I'll try to do something similar,
Do you think that mutual help is possible in this context?

 

[JS Girard]

Nothing wrong with having several people do spam reporting. I am personally too busy to help, though (And I'm not entirely clear that reporting from a continent away will be that useful).
