How to get google my business competitors removed?

I work in an industry where businesses typically rent a room and run courses there once or twice a week.

However, some established companies are gaming the system by renting a room once, setting up a Google My Business (GMB) listing, and never actually operating there again. This lets them rank in that location indefinitely.

When customers visit their site, they realize there are no courses in that suburb, but they end up booking in at one of the actually real locations they offer. They're trying to dominate multiple suburbs this way.

They also mislead Google—claiming they offer online courses that "serve" the location, even though they have no real presence there.

I've tried reporting them through reviews and making edits, but either my changes get rejected, or the listings come back. Is there any way to permanently get these fake listings removed?

woops should have put this in the black hat section!

All you can really try is what youre doing, but you'd be better off just building out your own network rather than focusing on his.

Right to the BHW Blackhat SEO u should go xdd

Outrank them or play the same trick.

It's quite easy to get it suspended to be honest with you. However, I don't condone hitting competitors.

I always put them in my shoes, if someone did that to me and got it suspended I'd be pissed whilst trying to earn a few bucks.

Up your game and do one better

There is a way to do this. You can do Redressal complaints against them. I’ve taken down that gmb of a business like this before. But you must have at least some proofs.
