How to report a local guide

How can I report a local guide that is harassing my business profile as well as 4 others. He is a previous employee that has given me a 1 star. then removed it. then added another 1 star with a bullying comment. Then deleted it. Now gave me another 1 star review. As a local guide. I dont think that follows googles policies of bullying/harrassment. How can I deal with this.

Thank You

Hi @kashou

Is sounds awful, but keep in mind that your are now also violating the guidelines by using your Local Guides account to represent the interests of your business!

Please see How to identify and report fraud on Google Maps and
You can now report entire profiles for abuse on Google Maps.

According to the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions
Organizations, brands, and businesses are not eligible for the Program. So we should never mix commercial interests with those of being an independent/volunteer Local Guide.

So how am I supposed to report an account that has harassed multiple businesses? If google doesn’t catch on to this. We are just supposed to let it be and harm someone’s business?

I suggest you use the suggestions I already shared with you. If you need more help, please use the forum available to business owners.

Here is the GBP help center and you find the GBP forum here.
