Edit Not Accepted -- Spam listing

Hey, I’m a level 7 guide and I came across this spam dispensary listing, it’s listed as a home address, which is not legal and definitely misleading for folks in the DC area. I reported it, but my edit was not accepted. Can someone help me with this? Thank you!

Listing: Google Search

@LouietheShiba Thanks for taking the time to report this! :police_car_light: It can be frustrating when edits aren’t accepted, especially when it’s clearly a violation. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve this:

:white_check_mark: Use the “Suggest an edit” option again, but this time choose “Not open to the public” or “Private residence” under location details.

:camera: Provide evidence if possible—like a screenshot showing it’s a residential address with no signage or website. This strengthens your edit.

:memo: Use the “Send feedback” option at the bottom of the Google Maps screen to explain why the listing is misleading or inappropriate.

:megaphone: You can also tag @GoogleModerators or share this with the Local Guides team via the Maps Help Community to escalate the issue.

Appreciate your efforts in keeping Maps accurate and trustworthy! :raising_hands: Let’s work together to make the platform better.
