Thinking About Adding Virtual Google Business Profiles? Think Again! 🚨
Recently, I was chatting with a plumber who wanted to add more virtual locations to his Google Business Profile—yes, plural profiles.

Here’s How That Conversation Went:
👷 Plumber: “Can I add more virtual locations?”
🛑 Me: “What you’re proposing is against Google’s Terms of Service.”
👷 Plumber: “But tons of businesses are doing it!”
🛑 Me: “Yes. Are they getting away with it? Also yes. Would I recommend it? Absolutely not.”

🔴 Why? Because if Google decides to crack down, you could lose everything.

Well, he thought I was being “ridiculously conservative” and said he couldn’t work with a marketer like me.

And Then…
📢 Ben Fisher tweeted about mass suspensions happening in the garage door and dumpster niches.

👀 Curious, I went to check on that plumber…
✅ Thankfully, he hasn’t been suspended (yet).
📲 But I sent him a text with Ben’s tweet and a short message:

👉 “They messed around with Google… and they found out.”

Final Takeaway?
🚨 Don’t risk your entire business for a shortcut. If you game the system, Google will catch up—and when they do, you won’t like the outcome.
