Our company has done a lot of research along the same vein.</p><p>Sadly though, I don’t think Google is making any headway on the problem. My legitimate, and verified, listing got removed. In its place were new listings that didn’t exist—one right across the street from our shop. I’m seeing new listings show up nearly daily that don’t exist (they’re empty lots, residential addresses, or other businesses). Google needs to just get rid of the “local” maps product (as does Yahoo and Bing) or start charging such outrages sums no one could afford thousands of posts. I just don’t see how they can fix the problem without further damage to the legitimate companies.</p><p>You can read what we’ve learned about Phoenix Locksmith Fraud by visiting the Knowledge Center on our website.<br></p>acmelocksmithTue, 21 Jul 2009 19:57:00 -0000
