🚨 Quick PSA: Don’t Be a Douche – No Keyword Stuffing!
✅ Keyword stuffing in your Google Business Profile (GBP) name works…
❌ Until it doesn’t.

🔍 Why Do People Do It?
Plumbers, HVAC, and electrical contractors stuff keywords into their business names because:
💰 It gives a ranking boost – Google rewards keyword-stuffed business names, even though it’s against their Terms of Service.
😴 Google is lazy – They often ignore keyword stuffing, so people get away with it.

🚨 Why You Shouldn’t Do It
🔴 Google DOES crack down – A Sterling Sky study found:

20% of the time, Google issues a soft suspension (removing visibility).
20% of the time, Google does a hard suspension (goodbye, business profile).
60% of the time, nothing happens… until someone reports you.
👀 Who’s Watching?
📢 Your competitors and their marketing agencies WILL notice.
🔪 They’ll go full Karen mode, report you, and blow up your profile.
📉 Suddenly, you’re losing rankings, reviews, and business overnight.

🔥 The Bottom Line
👉 Short-term gain = Long-term pain.
👉 Don’t be a douche. Don’t keyword stuff.
👉 If you’re relying on black-hat tactics, you’re playing with fire.
