Fake & duplicate listings
Businesses that don’t really exist — or exist twice — crowding the map and stealing your visibility.
Google Maps spam fighting
Beat the fake listings crowding you out
Fake businesses, keyword-stuffed names, and lead-gen “ghost” listings routinely outrank legitimate companies in the Google Maps 3-pack. We find the spam that’s costing you rankings and file the reports that get it removed — the right way.
Fight map spam → 100% above-board, guideline-based
The problem
Spam isn’t just annoying — it’s taking your calls
Keyword-stuffed names
“Best Plumber Near Me 24/7” isn’t a real business name. Stuffed names break the rules and outrank honest ones.
Fake addresses & lead-gen
Virtual offices, PO boxes, and “ghost” lead-gen listings placed to intercept your customers.
You get pushed down
Every spam listing above you in the 3-pack is calls, clicks, and directions that should have been yours.

Straight answers
Is this allowed — won’t I get in trouble?
Reporting genuine guideline violations is exactly what Google’s tools are for. We only report listings that actually break the rules — fake businesses, stuffed names, ineligible addresses. We never touch legitimate competitors, and we never do anything black-hat.
Can you guarantee spam gets removed?
No honest specialist can guarantee Google removes a listing. What we can say: a properly-documented report filed and escalated by a Platinum Product Expert has a far better shot than a one-off “suggest an edit.”
How is this different from just reporting it myself?
Google acts on well-documented cases filed through the right channel — and ignores most others. We know which channel, what evidence to include, and how to escalate. That’s the difference between a report that sticks and one that vanishes.
How long does it take?
It varies by case and Google’s current queues — some removals happen in days, others take weeks of follow-up. We stay on it and keep you posted.
