      Hi Eden, I understand where you are coming from and this is entirely your choice but Google is notoriously bad at tackling spammers. So it’s either, you let your competitors spam the results while you are following the guidelines and you will fall behind, or you spam your own business name so you are on a level playing field. Google is actually encouraging local map suggestions for local businesses and that’s why they have launched their Google Local Guide program and also the reason why you are able to suggest edits. This is a completely legitimate practice and helps make Google results as accurate as possible which is what Google strives for. It is also beneficial to the customers who don’t end up booking services with rogue traders and local businesses. It’s just business in the most ethical way
