Do you know a good way to remove fake GMBs from google maps?
I tried everything. i have hundreds of fake maps i want to remove and i reported to google but google dont do anything to remove them.

I used local guide 10 account to report them, i used different emails, i used the new form they release for reporting, but still nothing.

Can someone help?

I don't have a good answer. Google just ignore us. Sometimes they remove some of them but new fake maps keep coming.

good luck, 90% of those requests go ignored, they are notorious for this. What is the reason you want to delete them? bad reviews? whats the benefit?

Yes, I agree that fake businesses affect real businesses as they divert the traffic by creating fake listings.
