There are about ten garage door 'businesses' on maps in our area, all pinned to houses or empty lots. I've suggested edits and filled in the redressal form twice, nothing happens. Is there an escalation route that actually gets fake listings removed?

We refunded her, she left one star, fair enough. Now there's another one star with the exact same wording from a brand new profile. I can't prove it's her. Has anyone had Google remove a duplicate like this?

They went from 12 reviews to 140 in about six weeks, most from profiles with no photo and no other reviews. Meanwhile they've jumped above us in the map pack. I've flagged a few and nothing happened. Is there a route that gets Google to actually look?
