Spam is not limited only to emails, other digital marketing tools are also influenced by the spammers. One such example is Google My Business where fake listings are created to misuse the service and make money.

If you are facing such a situation, the DAC contributor Zoran Dobrijevic has shared four ways you can deal with the Google My Business spam.

Dobrijevic says, “If you think you have found a spam listing or fraudulent reviews, your first act should always be to alert your dedicated DAC account rep! As Google partners, we’re able to take quick, decisive action to remedy any kind of local search issue.

But if you’re not a DAC client, don’t worry: here are four simple ways you can fight back against local listings spam yourself.

  1. Make public edits and flag reviews – You can publicly edit an inaccurate, keyword-stuffed listing or report the listing if it is spam. This works best for locations that have not been claimed, but edits and reports are reviewed by Google whether or not a business listing is claimed. Fortunately, fake reviews are normally fairly easy to detect, so simply flagging them on your own is often an effective way to kick-start the removal process”.
