Reporting Keyword-Stuffed Google Business Profiles
Why We Fight the Good Fight
We take our clients’ Google Business Profile (formerly Google My Business) optimisation seriously.
It’s a cornerstone of local SEO, helping businesses connect with potential customers searching nearby. But a shady tactic – keyword stuffing in business names – threatens the very core of this system. That’s why we take an active stance in looking for and reporting these offenders!
Imagine searching for a plumber and seeing listings like “24/7 Leak Repair Plumbing Services” or “Best Discounted Plumbers in Town”.
These names, laden with keywords, offer no real information about the business itself. They also give that company an unfair advantage on Google because keywords are a definite ranking factor. So this hurts legitimate businesses like yours.
We believe in a fair playing field. By reporting keyword-stuffed listings, we contribute to a cleaner, more user-friendly search environment. This benefits everyone, including our clients:
Improved Local Ranking: When Google removes irrelevant, keyword-stuffed listings, the competition thins out. This naturally improves the visibility of genuine businesses like yours in the local search results.
Enhanced User Trust: When search results prioritise clear, informative names, users are more likely to trust the displayed businesses, increasing the chances of converting leads into customers.
Sustainable SEO Strategy: A focus on user experience and accurate information is key to long-term SEO success. By reporting misleading practices, we build a stronger foundation for your local SEO efforts.
