Hi everyone,
I'm a business owner in Geneva, Switzerland, dealing with a bad-faith competitor's Google Business Profile that displays a misleading local address. The operator has no registered legal entity in Switzerland and appears to operate from another country, yet presents itself as a local Geneva business. This is not the first instance — the profile has previously displayed other Geneva addresses that were documented as fictitious, suggesting a repeated pattern of misleading conduct. The business name is also confusingly similar to our registered trademark.
I've submitted multiple redressal forms over several months, with no response or visible action from Google. My previous post on the GBP community forum was also locked without explanation, which I suspect may have been a spam filter issue.
I have a complete evidence package ready to share privately with anyone who can help, including trademark registration, address documentation, and screenshots.
Has anyone successfully escalated this type of issue? Any advice on next steps would be very welcome.
Thank you.
