You are not supposed to upload images in the file upload section, if you’re wondering why you’re still not getting any satisfactory results. I’ll tell you how you can share images as evidence if you wish to in a few moments.
Once the spam is evaluated, the outcome data is then recorded and the machine is given inputs to learn from it. This may bring about tiny changes in the ecosystem where the algorithm catches patterns. And then, small incremental updates are rolled out to more listings.
That’s how it goes, and we should be grateful for that. To share an incident with you, a Wall Street Journal article about GMB spam published in June 2019 caused a massive sweep of GMB listings. Tons of valid listings were also suspended in this sweep. Which is why small incremental updates are better compared to this.
That means that even if you’re reporting a small number of listings, a lot many listings may get impacted down the road. Submitting 100 listings could result in removal of 1000 listings.
Some legit listings also get affected by these, but they can be brought back.
