Hi guys! I'm new and glad to be here!
Does anyone have an inside connection at Google they would be willing to share with me in a PM? Or could you possible help yourself? or consider contacting someone at G about this offensive content/ transfer ownership issue? It's not for me, it's for one of my biz owners. He recently bought a very cool and diversely welcoming neighborhood bar in New Orleans. An employee of the former owner was let go in the transition and the impacts of CV-19. She had set up the GMB when she was working there, so she owns it and she ain't giving it up nicely. Jon has asked, she's refused and now not returning his calls.
She recently posted the pic you will see in the first link, in the photos section. I had Jon and his friends report this picture as offensive, and Google took it down. Then, to show you how low-down she is, she created a google website from the GMB, featuring that same pic! It is now showing up in the Google searches! My biz owner, who is white, is horrified and outraged. Also a statement from the biz on the cover of the GMB: "leave your BLM crap at the door" Here is the Google biz site she created : ...https://evangeline.business.site/
Google no longer has a support phone number (at least not that's showing publicly), they announced they took it down and are working strictly off of form reports of problems. Jon has done that, no answer. He's also tried to claim, with no luck as you will see in his post. I had him post this in the Google community, no response. that report is here: https://support.google.com/business/thread/67046165?hl=en And here's the GMB: https://bit.ly/3gCcV6K
Bottom line, Jon needs Google to transfer this GMB to his ownership, since he truly does own the bar now, and can provide whatever proof G wants. We just need to be able to reach G and for G to respond and get the transfer done. Then all of this offensive crap can be removed. Thanks for whatever help you guys can give!
