Hello everyone. Wasn't sure who to approach with this since Google wont do anything without a supporting hand!
I discovered a new, less than 24 hours, massive garage door spam listing using what seems like to be a Bulk account.
They all pretend to be Home Depot
They have 100's if not 1000's locations on google maps from what we saw, see https://garagedoorrepair-the-home.com/location/

They are actively removing mentions of home depot but we recorded this yesterday

Simple write their name in google maps, you will find this fake locations ALL OVER USA.

Only adding one but there is 100's. Must be escalated to the right people at google. Sad people can spam like this 100's of locations.
All listings have the same phone number also, not sure how is that even possible wow..
 
This is worse than you think. They are spread out all over the US. When did you first notice them? What steps have you taken to repot them to Google?
 
@Wilbur - you mention Google maps but the image in your post appears to be for an organic listing.

If it is the latter it doesn't contravene Google's T&C. You will notice how they have carefully worded their page titles - maybe misleading but not actually against the rules. It may contravene trademarks and copyright but that's a different legal battle.

Google maps and the organic listings are two different things.
