Title: Hello HN,
I have a personal CS blog named X. When you search for X on google, on the right side, it will show a business located somewhere, with that very same name X. This business is for helping people for computer problems. They&#x27;re even showing my website url.<p>If you search for the X business name on official channels, it doesn&#x27;t exists obviously. I&#x27;ve tried to have at least my website removed from the listing, but fun fact my removal request is handled by the listing owner itself. I&#x27;ve contacted Google directly, the answer was along the lines of the following:<p>&gt; We don&#x27;t care if the business is using your website name and your url, we are just showing information. If you want to get the website removed please contact the owner of that listing.<p>What makes me angry is that I legally hold the mark name in europe. It&#x27;s possible to check my name on the whois of that website. And there is no way for me to get that sh*t removed.
What&#x27;s also incredible, is that people will need to do all the verification crap for singing on adsense, but everyone can put every website in the listing with no verification and no one can&#x27;t do anything about that.<p>What is even worst is that business will be associated with myself, and my users might call that business thinking to be speaking with me. And a business showing false information doesn&#x27;t seems a business to trust. I&#x27;ve also explicitly talked about this, but Google didn&#x27;t care.<p>Please HN. Tell me what to do.
