We Have a Bogus GBP Profile Up and Trying to Get Rid of it. Battling with our Original GBP Profile

[Sherm]

Hello,

We have a bogus listing up and we are trying to figure out how to get rid of it as it is taking away from our original true listing in Chicago. What do we need to do? Can anyone help with how to get rid of this thing? Ugh The second one is bogus and should be removed because it has our address on it, and we are a SAB. How do we get rid of that thing please?

Have you tried just making a suggestion? It appears to be unverified and getting rid of those is usually like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[Sherm]

I've done that repeatedly. And it still just sits there.

 

[Sherm]

What about claiming and then deleting it. Would that be possible?

 

[mblumenthal]

Because one has an address showing and one doesn’t it will unlikely be removed via the Suggest an edit.

You should reach out to support (and when that fails) report via the forum and ask that it be escalated.

Hi Mike.

Report via the forum? ???

The Google Business Profile forum provided by Google.

How do I find the link to that? This stuff is mind-boggling for laymen. Lol

I haven't been keeping up with this thread, but I wanna point out that as of today, the dupe seems to be gone.

One last thing......

Is there a reason why our business site is coming up 404? This happened after our GBP was suspended.
