Fake or Real Google Business Listing?

[Justin27]

Hello all,

I have not done google my business listing for my website and none of my company member done that (for USA location)!

Google business listing is showing up for USA location (also having my company URL) (address is also of USA)

How this is possible?

Any ideas!

A Local guide could have added it.

If local guide do then how they verify the address

It might not be verified. You will be able to claim the listing.

Only verified listings are shown on google right?

Nope.

Not at all, anybody can create any listing for any business/location just to mark it on google maps.

Hey OP, so to ur question, if you have a pyshical address you can verify it easily by sending a postcard, if u dont, u can order them from sellers like me selling verified GMB's with dashboard access.

You are not 100% Right, maybe some local guide can add it sure, but its will be Unclaimed and unverified, to claim it google will need to send a postcard to the address on file.

Hey perry, Only high lvl local guide can add a missing place, and 90% gets rejected. unless its a church or something similar lol. and even if they do get the listing with the info they want published, its wont be claimed. and will probably get suspended the next update.

Hope i answered all your guys questions

You need to claim that listing. You can then correct or update it as needed to match your other directory listings, which is important for rankings.
