Hi!
I've been mapping for over 5 years now & see a lot of spammer adding packers and movers spam to the map in Mumbai (where I live). Have reported many as spammers to Google but there is no feedback on action taken by them.
How do I find out what action has been taken?
Regards
Dennis

SolutionHey @DennisM, you did the right thing by reporting them through Maps. Google will not explicitly let you know if they're taking action based on your reports, but they will take action as needed (keep in mind they probably get a LOT of these reports every day).

Those packers and movers spammers are complete idiots. They keep spamming Google's own Webmasters Product Forums all the time as well.
All reports are valuable however. Google most of the times use the reported data to refine its algorithms to prevent spam automatically if possible. Manual spam removal and manual actions against spammers (and their websites) are less and less frequent (as the algo improves) and @iyudhi is right: there are only very rare occasions when Googlers give feedback - and even only when they need extra info (which is rare with Map spam).

@DennisM You can head over to this post from a Google moderator: https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/About-Local-Guides/How-do-I-report-content-on-Google-Maps/m-p/...
which gives details of reporting spammers.

Sadly, seems that we cannot have our role in this war to spam 😞

I think Google must surely work on, how to give a right to delete the photos (spam) to the verified accounts as a minimum.
