We are still encountering duplicate business listings. And the only solutions available as of this moment is to report it on Google Maps. For me, the current process of reporting duplicate business is not accurate because we are just choosing the duplicate option on the report without identifying the original place. A Local Guide can accidentally report as duplicate the original business list. The only way to prevent losing the original place is to have an option to merge or at least identify which one is the original. Merging two business listings can also help keeping all uploaded photos and videos. Local Guide and Google Maps Team should take an extra care the files that we are sharing. We don't want to lose points because the business where we uploaded photos was removed due to duplicate report.
