@GoogleMyBiz Welp, somehow this blatant violation "aligns with Google's policies."
7+ keyword-stuffed listings at virtual offices across Long Island and the country - apparently fine per Google.
This needs another review.

๐จ Hey @GoogleSmallBiz@GoogleMyBiz@JoyanneHawkins@BrightLocal - reporting a nationwide GBP spam network dominating local search with fake listings, virtual offices & keyword-stuffed names. Full evidence thread ๐งต๐
Redressal form submitted. Forum post filed 4 days ago with 7 direct Maps links and screenshots. Listings still live and still ranking #1, pushing legitimate local businesses out of results. @JoyanneHawkins - would love your eyes on this one.
Full report: https://t.co/2LtPXuo2xs
Each site also runs 200+ programmatic doorway pages (/as-is-cash-home-buyers-[town]-new-york/), title tags stuffed with 6-7 pipe-separated keywords over 200 chars each. Textbook spam by Google's own policies.
@meetup_support A member of my meetup group got an email saying that I would be losing the group in 7 days. Not sure why, please help ASAP! https://t.co/vBoNwpU3Tu
@CallRail you are crippling my business! Disabling SMS after telling me days prior I was going to be fine come Sept 1. I registered over 45 days in advance. Now I've been waiting hours for a callback! Ticket 510584 #customerservice
@EAHelp I purchased an annual subscription to EA Play Pro so I could play Battlefield 2042 and this game is awful and already has no player base for matchmaking. I'd like a refund.
.@bbb_us I'm told by my local BBB that "house buying" companies are not allowed to get accredited anymore. We have great reviews on other platforms and my competitors were accredited before this change.
This is hurting my small business!

@zillow@niceguy_jay That's why we each have our own API keys so that you can limit those in violation... I would have at least expected some notice so we have a chance to adapt rather than the API being silently shut down.
@DellCares we have 3 laptops we ordered just under a year ago that have all been experiencing issues with the microphone that tech support was unable to fix and now the warranty is expiring. The mic volume goes in and out seemingly randomly
