Is this your business? Corrections are free and unconditional.
If you would rather not have a page here, write to me and I will take it down. You do not need to give a reason and I will not ask for one. Your page and its share image come down and your name stops linking to anything. Your row in the ranking stays, because the ranking is built from Google's public listings and dropping one business would misstate the market for everyone else in it. Removals are done by hand, so allow up to seven days. A removal is permanent and a later scan does not undo it.
Correcting what a business publishes so assistants can read it properly is work I do for a fee. If that is useful to you, say so in the same email and I will tell you what it would take. If it is not, the scan stays free and public either way.
