Not quite the same, but I lived in a house whose previous resident had run a photography business out of it. It was still listed as the business address on Google Maps, so I got a ton of junk mail (and some real mail, like bills!) for the business. I reported the business as closed or moved a bunch of times, but I never heard anything from Google and nothing ever changed. I just checked, and it's still listed at the same address.
- beauzero 7y agoThis happens for LLCs that have never been properly closed (its a pain to actually close an LLC in Georgia). So when they initially seeded maps, that LLC data would pull up all around you or in your house even though the owner of the LLC had moved when you bought the house. :) yeah it happened to us. My only way to get rid of it was to get my "Local Guide" points high enough so that I could say that the business was closed...don't ask me what the threshold was...I just kept increasing my points until it finally removed it. On another note, apparently if you get enough Google Local Guide points eventually they send you some free socks. Seriously...not kidding.
- el_benhameen 7y agoInteresting! I don't live in the house anymore and I just bought some socks. Otherwise, I'd have to give that a try.
- duskwuff 7y agoHome businesses are annoying, yeah. The vast majority of them aren't open to the public, so there's no reason for them to appear on a map.
