How do I report spam to Google?

Click the "Report spam" button on Google's docs page, fill the form with specifics, submit anonymously.

Will Google always take action on spam reports?

No—they may, but it's not guaranteed. They review first.

Possibly, if you abuse it or flag legit competitors. Play fair.
