Check the businesses Google Maps shows for your search. We flag listings that may break Google's guidelines, tell you why, and show how to report them.
How it works
Find your Google listing and say what a customer would search for, for example "plumber in Austin".
We read the first 20 businesses Google Maps shows and look for names with extra keywords, shared phone numbers and addresses, and mailbox addresses.
Every flag says which rule, why it matters and what we saw, with how to report the listing to Google.
Questions
Google's guidelines say a business name should be its real-world name, with no extra keywords, locations or promotions. The address must be a place where customers are served, not a mailbox. One business should not have many listings for the same location. Listings that break these rules may be removed.
On Google Maps, open the listing and choose "Suggest an edit". For a bigger problem, use Google's complaint form for Business Profile violations. Explain which rule it may break and what you saw. The steps are shown under your results.
It varies: a few days for a simple edit, sometimes weeks, and Google does not always act. Reporting costs you nothing, but do not count on a quick change to your ranking.
No, reporting a listing in good faith does not hurt your own profile. Report only what you honestly believe breaks the guidelines, and never report a business just because it is a competitor.
A flag is a reason to look, not proof. A business can really have a long name, share a building with others, or use a call-handling number. Our rules cannot see everything, so check the listing yourself before you report it.
