MapRedress

The fake listings on your map, found, verified, and reported.

MapRedress sweeps your service area for lead-gen and fake Google Business Profiles, scores each one against Google's own guidelines, shows which fakes are outranking you and where, and packages verified evidence for Google's redressal process.

Works for any trade: chimney, septic, locksmith, plumbing, HVAC, roofing, garage doors — set the business type, keywords, area, and the listings to protect.

What a scan finds

A real queue looks like this. Scores are a queue for a person to verify, not a verdict.

How it works

1

Protect your listings

Paste your Maps share link or search by name. Your profiles are stripped out before anything is scored — the scan refuses to run otherwise.

2

Sweep the area

A grid of searches across your service area through Google's Places API — the same results your customers see, at every point, for every keyword.

3

Score against the guidelines

Shared phones and websites, keyword-only names, virtual offices and mailbox stores, residential pins, missing registry entries, call-tracking scripts, lead-seller ads. Every signal maps to a specific Google rule.

4

See what it costs you

For each flagged profile: how often and where it outranks you, and how often you're missing from the map pack entirely.

5

Verify, then report

Open each profile, check Street View and the website, mark it. The redressal spreadsheet and evidence packs only ever contain rows a person verified.

6

Watch them disappear

Monthly rescans and a digest: what's new, what's gone, what's still there, what to resubmit or escalate.

It never submits anything to Google. Scripted form submissions are bot traffic and get accounts flagged; a human submitting verified evidence from a real account is what Google's spam team acts on. MapRedress does the 95% that's tedious and leaves you the 5% that has to be a person.
