Hey it would be great if Google would actually let me claim my unverified listing that is stealing all the link juice from my live listing. Cant send postcard bc the address and zip are wrong. Community edits wont merge the listing, even after several weeks and no one at G really answers the question. What sucks most, is that I spent a lot of time getting linked up, and cant even benefit from that!! Umm.

There is an indeterminate length of banishment with your option being to file and re-file periodically a reinclusion request. There may be other more radical techniques but none that are on the up and up as far as I know If it isn’t obvious you have been “ejected” from Maps for violating the guidelines.

You don't have any access to your listings, which means you can't change them nor remove them from Maps. Is there any solution for that? Is there any individual on Google we can turn to & ask for help in removing all lisitngs from those problematic accounts? Thanks!
