Mailbox only designation

[#1]

Would like an added designation of mailbox not brick and mortar.  I've come across several mailbox locations where multiple online businesses are tagging themselves.  It's misleading to customers but it is the business mailing address so it seems harsh to post business not at this location.

@Stevebej under the former Map Maker platform such businesses were considered "Service Area Businesses" - a business with no brick and mortar storefront because they do their business "on the road" within a service area - such as a customer's location.

The problem is, and the point of your idea is that under the former Map Maker rules those were subject to deletion as they were out of compliance - "only businesses that can be visited without an appointment at an office shall be listed on Google Maps". Under the Google My Business dominated maps of today, getting those out of compliance listings removed is near impossible.

So my expansion of this proposal is there should be a way to flag those listings out of compliance, and they are hidden on Maps, but still searchable "near me" - the way that Google My Business is supposed to work, but is not enforced.
