I think what you've done is risky for your long-term survival. If you just had one or two complaints sent to Google, they well might yank all your listings in one fell swoop.

Google might easily provide links to your profile pages as related info links if you have the only biz profile information page for a business, anyway. Or, if you had a significant enough number of special business profiles, you could make a business deal with Google and they'd likely accept a feed from you in order to enhance their Maps content.

What you've described is mostly benign and mutually beneficial in most cases to businesses, the search engine, endusers, and yourself. However, as inbound points out, it only really takes one upset business to topple this house of cards -- that one business could make you look really slimy really fast.

Find some way to get those businesses to opt into allowing you to manage their internet presence so you can remove this risk.
