Hi. @Ravinder08

The right place for reporting a business is the Google My Business community.

An edit can be not applied for several reasons, e.g. because a business is claimed, or because your edit can’t be verified.

For more information about the approval process, please read: Why is my edit status “Pending” or “Not Applied”?

Hello, @Ravinder08 , when a business is claimed or if there are rating+reviews+photos for a place, reporting that as fake needs to be done with proper due diligence.

You need providing supporting documents or photos to prove your point.

You need reporting the photos and reviews as spam & then take any subsequent action.

Additionally, you have only three approved edits to your account. That may not be enough to build a good trust score. My suggestion is, please go for name correction or category change edits & after having acquired a stable trust score, then go for any deletion.
