What's the policy on SEO edits, I encounter them almost every day and not really sure what to do. The ones I encounter it's a new OSM account for each "customer" and they never use the correct format for opening_hours or accepted payments etc.

There's no written policy but first and foremost the rule is "no advertising", i.e. anything with a "description" tag that tells us how the excellent lawyer has been helping their clients for a decade should be deleted on sight. Another frequent problem is bad or missing tags, or POI placement that doesn't match the map (middle of road etc). The "hiding our traces" element where the SEO firm creates throwaway accounts for each of their clients is also discouraged. Feel free to drop a message to data@osmfoundation.org when you encounter SEO stuff that seems to have a system, or if you want to do some detective work yourself, email the office/shop that is being advertised, tell them you're with OSM and someone has been tarnishing their reputation through adding unwanted advertising, and whether they've recently signed up with some SEO plan?
