Personal Photos on Google Business Site

Post by Big Boy »

I'm not sure what can be done about this, but I was quite shocked today when I came across it. I'm looking for suggestions.

I was looking for accommodation for a friend who is visiting soon. Randomly, I tried a local condo. Imagine my shock when scrolling through the photos, firstly I found photos of my house, and then photos of my family (I'm in 2 of them :shock: ). These photos have nothing to do with the condo, and I doubt the condo are even aware. It was just a random Google search.

There's nothing offensive about the photos, but I'd be happier if Google wasn't showing them.

Does anybody know how to get the photos deleted from this Google enquiry?

Are you sure its not just showing you cached images from your phone or Google Photos account?

The way to test would be to search for the condo on a different machine not logged in to your Google account and see if they're still there.

Are they street view type photos or the type submitted by random people who like to post photos in Google maps? Either way it should be possible to have at least faces blurred out.

They are photos in our car port of the family taking part in traditional Songkran (not the crazy) celebrations. I'm assuming they have somehow got on to the condo's photos because it is fairly close location wise. So something clever (or not so clever) on Google has associated our location with the condo.

If it's a Google Business site you could maybe start here: https://support.google.com/business/?hl ... ic=4596754

Good luck! With Google you may need it. I once tried to get the name of our soi corrected in Maps.Waste of time.

Sorry about that I thought it would be straight forward but obviously not as I can't find the page anymore either
I found another 2 links that might be helpful, not sure as I haven't had time to try them out but you can try hopefully you'll get an answer :cheers:
Good luck
