I have tried over and over to mark this as spam, even with screen shots.Every time my edit doesnt get approved??
Look at this business name [https://goo.gl/maps/nsvfFZPTbMYQfseq7\](https://goo.gl/maps/nsvfFZPTbMYQfseq7\)
or this screenshot

Google is under heavy spam attack in this area. Spam listings own this whole Google maps section
I have tried time and time again but my edits dont get approved.
Many business listed here are not located in this area or not real business name.
I think these should be flagged as suspended and let them send in a business license to you guys

not sure if a moderator would see this so I tagged you guys
Thank you for reaching us with this set of information @squanchie83
I am merging your two posts about the same issue and tagging a moderator ( @RadieN ).
Please note that a tag must be written on the post, not copied from another place.
Can you better explain? As far as I can see, all the link on your last post are opening the same business
Just an additional note, @squanchie83
Can you kindly change the label of your post, that will fit better on “how to”?
Just tap the three blue dots on your post then click on “edit”

HI Thanks Ermest!
For future posts can you explain the tag must be written and not copied? Do you mean for example @ErmesT I need to spell this instead of copy and paste?
explaining better…
The 1st post is the same business. A link of the google map listing and a screen shot of same business in case the google link didnt work, which shows the long spam listing biz name.
2nd post - I fixed the links now they all show different spam listings.
I cant remove local stories and change to “how to” it wont let me

Hello @squanchie83
I noticed all the extra search terms in the place name. I tried to remove them and it got approved right away. Was that your concern, then it is fixed now.
hi this is the 1st problem which helps but doing an edit like this they will just change it back
I have done this before, they need to be removed I feel.
2nd part is all those spam listings in Pasadena. They take over like 10 spots in Google
awesome!
