Black Hat SEO Technique for Google Maps & Local SEO

In this video, I walk you through one of the most effective black hat SEO strategies for dominating local SEO, specifically the Google Maps "3-pack." I’m not endorsing this method—it's 100% against Google’s terms of service—but I’m sharing it for educational purposes only.

I explain how some SEOs create multiple fake Google Business Profiles (GBP) using real residential addresses (like a friend’s or family member’s home), and then buy reviews—especially from trusted “Local Guide” accounts—to make them look legit and outrank the competition.

This strategy can get you multiple listings for the same service in the same city, essentially letting you "own the entire first page" of Maps. I also mention why this works better for service-based businesses (like plumbers) than for physical storefronts.
