I encountered the same problem recently. My family member’s business changed location. Updating the Google maps listing caused Google to flag it for not following guidelines and weeks passed with the listing being “under review”.
The solution that ended up working for me was to start paying a few dollars a day for Adwords. For some reason that cleared the issue up the next day. Then, I turned AdWords down to a few bucks a week and then later off entirely.

- kaliqt 3y agoCan confirm. This works in more places than one, Reddit too. Reason? When you're a paying customer, you get routed to elevated support staff. They have a higher incentive to help you fix the problem and fast. I don't hate it, I appreciate it. Better than having no easy recourse. Because I bet if everyone were treated equally, it'd be shitty service for all. Better to toss in a few bucks if it's valuable and get the support (and some ads run).
