Problem with Google feedback. I have a proposition for everyone.

[David Walz]

I have a Google account, and my competition has posted negative reviews on Google Maps. I have been trying to work with Google support to remove this without any progress, it's really causing a hardship for me. Anyone have any suggestions about a solution please let me know.

Well I flagged as many as I can.
Some made no sense whatsoever. And some of those people don't appear to even be IN Alaska... odd.

Competitors will do this to gain business. Thanks for everything.

I'll make this easier for everyone. If you need 1 slot machine key for a lock with no key, I will do it for FREE, just send me the lock with a return envelope.

Post a positive feedback to counter my bogus feedback.

And if this goes against the forum rules, please remove it. (hopefully we're OK)

I left a review for you and bumped you up on the Google scale!

With 196 views already, and if I could get just a fraction in positive reviews that would make my day. 

[David Walz]

Finally most of the negative reviews that were absurd was removed. It was a big issue for me and my company. I have been getting positive reviews which puts me in a much better position in the advertising hierarchy. The more positive feedback, the higher on the list my company moves.

I have a lot of people to thank for helping me out. 

It's really looking good, I also did some work on my website for the web crawlers to attract customers.

Update: I have the negative bogus reviews finally removed, thanks to some really great people who helped out in this endeavor. Also I had my son networking, helping out in New Hampshire, so that was a help.

What is really pathetic is how competitors can post bogus negative comments, and it takes forever to get them removed.

I've been going to Google numerous times the last few weeks and flagging the rest of the comments, especially the ones that don't even have explanation! I did it twice today, for whatever it's worth. Your numbers are going up though.

Just a update, the negative "bogus" reviews are 90% gone. That really is awesome to have a good rating again. I appreciate the support from everyone.

Continuing with my feedback. More bogus feedback that's crazy, I never ever make rude comments about anything, I am a professional.

"In a word, unprofessional. Had to call a locksmith while visiting a branch of my business in Wasilla, and the guy who came out (I believe it was Dave or David) made rude comments about the bumper stickers on an employee's car. We called him to work on a lock, not share his political opinions."

Did you make any comments related to politics in relation to bumper stickers on cars at the client's business?

I have been dealing with Google with that problem, I can't make comments, can't change anything, it's just crazy.
