    That's petty almost to the point of being impressive. Are they Irish based?

    I have tried but the supports around business are more for wrong info, bad review, ad words etc. Can't find anything how I can get a company to take my name off thier business Google search


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,434 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Won't do much for the business if they can't be contacted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,194 ✭✭✭Conservatory


    I think you will find they took the money and ran. Expect phone calls from a few other unlucky customers.
    Sorry dude.

    Kitchen is actually about 95% done. It's the fact it took four months of nightmare to get it done.
    Actually spoke to another customer through FB who has worse done by same chap.

    Were they a reputable company or some Facebook friend of a friend?

    He knowingly put your private information into the public domain.

    Sounds like a GDPR violation to me!


  • Registered Users Posts: 78,437 ✭✭✭✭Victor


    Contact the business, by phone / email and then writing.

    If no response, go to https://dataprotection.ie/

    Drop me a PM with the link to the business and I'll see if I can talk to someone in Google - however, that person might only do maps, not reviews.

    You will find they have no insurance and nothing to sue them for. These crowds are rife at the moment. They fit their own ikea kitchen and think it’s easy. Then they set up a company doing them and realize it’s harder than they thought and spoof it until the wheels fall off.
    There’s plenty of people getting done over by bathroom crowds as well.

    Hmmm. I remember dealing with a kitchen company in Swords in the past year that had awful reviews, which reflected my own experience. I just checked and the entire company's existence seems to have been wiped from the internet with the exception of a single reference to its link to a tile business elsewhere in the city. Pretty impressive.

    They are a long standing company with an office in Tullamore. AXIS business park.

    I am sure they have insurance and everything, just very poor

    I’d head for Clontarf.

    That’s always a good starting point.

    Are they the crowd showing up on Google as "Boyle" ??

    Not sure how they done this as I thought to change and address or phone number on a Google Business listing required either postal or phone validation

    I've dealt with G Business in the past. I'll see if I can dig up a contact path though I reckon it's not gonna be an easy one to get fixed

    Try Google support or get more people to spam his reviews.

    Another thing you could do would be to create a webpage criticizing his business.

    Try and get the domain name the same as his company or similar and optimize it SEO wise for his business. It will always be displayed in organic rankings once it has been indexed by Google .

    Topic and content of page could be “why you should never do business with ....”
    that’ll fix him. Some stroke he had pulled changing google business name to your site.
