Last month we reported Google launched a new form to report Google My Business/Google Maps spam. After a few weeks in, local SEOs are reporting how fast you can see action after a spam report is submitted.

It seems it currently ranges from 1.5 weeks to a bit over 2 weeks right now.

A couple Local Search Forum threads have the local SEOs reporting back on when they saw a change after submitting the spam report. Here are some quotes:

All of mine have worked. It takes about 1.5 weeks.

Same, all of mine have worked as well. I include a ton of proof in my escalations though.

Also, I am experiencing the same time period.

Looking like the turn around is about 12 business days so far... anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Have you tried it?
