Hi @mSiDDHARTHA,

The best way to report duplicate places is through the Google Maps itself using Suggest an Edit.

For spam you can mail the Local Guide Team the profile of the spammer if it's in large scale or report through Google Maps if there are countable numbers

Thanks.

Hi @mSiDDHARTHA Please can you take some time to read this article:https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/About-Local-Guides/How-Do-I-Report-Content-on-Google-Maps/m-p/...

It talks about how to report Inappropriate Content on Google Maps. There is no fast process as an evidence to make your spam reporting case more faster as the only process there is your evidence that such a content is inappropriate. The team of specialist will look into it and consider what you reported. Also note that they won't share the results of the contents you reported with you. All this information is on the link I mentioned above to you and it was well outlined for us by our Google Moderators. 

For also on how to report duplicate listing, here are the steps as well 

Report duplicate locations on Google Maps

To report a duplicate location on Google Maps:

1. Open Google Maps.
2. Find the location you want to report.
3. Click Suggest an edit.
4. Mark the location as "Place is permanently closed or has never existed."
5. Select "Duplicate" as the reason.
6. Click Submit.

You can find more information on the Google Maps support link here:

And also note that your edit will also be verified before it gets approved, there are no fast process in making an edit get approved, but there is a good method to make your edits get approved sometimes faster by following the helpful advice of how to make a good edit. What Makes A Good Edit. I hope this helps you. 

Kind Regards, 

Samson

Hi @MegS You said you are not a Google Moderator but your title said you are though.. maybe there is something wrong with your setup? or I am mistaken?

[MegS]

@WetCoastCanuck I have admin abilities on Connect, which are tied to the moderator badge. It's confusing, I know. I'm working to find a solution but in the meantime always refer to the moderators post as we update it regularly. Thanks!
