How to report fake/duplicate listing

[Rich Owings]

Here's the situation: A mobile home repair company (Foster Mobile Home Service) located on the outskirts of the city has also set up a plumber listing downtown (A Mobile Home Services). They share the same phone number and the latter appears to be unclaimed. What's the best way to report the plumber listing and what evidence do I need to support it?

@Rich Owings, if the 2nd listing is unclaimed, it's possible you get it removed in one whack through "suggest an edit" (choose the "Spam, fake, or offensive" option). If that doesn't work, I'd probably do the redressal form and mention that they're both at a residential address, apparently. (According to what GMB Scanner Pro tells me)

I would submit them via the redressal form as well Business Redressal Complaint Form - Google My Business Help there re a lot of articles that will tell you what kind of proof to provide.

For unverified residential listings, I always go with Suggest an Edit > Remove > Private Home. They're not allowed on the map if they're not claimed. If that doesn't work, my backup is to use the Redressal Form as Ben mentioned.
