The problem is, as a small brick and mortar business, there is no alternative to Google Maps. I mean, sure. Technically alternatives exist. But if your customers don't use them, they are meaningless.
Of course we are listed on OpenStreetMap. But my guess is that since we opened, the number of customers we got that way rounds to zero.
Meanwhile, we get delisted from Google Maps and our revenue instantly drops about 70% (we are in a tourist area). It sucks. There's nothing we can do about it except make frustrated posts like this.
