I been slowly but surely ranking a map and noticed a similar business, fresh account ranked position one. Didnt make sense, i notice they May have keyword stuffed the city in the name but.....

After reading all the post and seeing a reddit post I saw a trend. out of 40+ reviews 28-32 use the word "best, hidden gem, in city, city street" consistently, they all gave them 5/5 Food and etc. and half of them break into these guest post type thank yous

There are older profiles with better reviews and frequency but the reviews are not written in this very very high quality nature.

Here is the kicker, when real customers go to the business, there is a major dissappointment and you can see it in the reviews. They are almost pissed.

What did the business do? Bury them more overdone quality reviews with same consistent text to regain there rankings. Blows my mind, would never of thought of this, hope this helps someone. I honestly dont have the connections to pulll this off.
 
Yeah, Absolutely. Having keywords in reviews does help in ranking. Even i am ranking my rank and rent business with just 1 review and simple onpage SEO.

And the review contains the location, service, and the guy who did the service. That's what you should add if you are getting reviews for your business.
 
I have noticed that real customer reviews with keyword rich content works better for gbp ranking.

Yeah, but a real customer aint going to use keywords unless you tell them. They just really have no clue how to write a review.
 
That’s an interesting observation and I’ve seen similar cases. Keyword-heavy, highly polished reviews can definitely give a short-term boost, especially for newer profiles.

The risk is that it usually catches up with them once real customer feedback outweighs the manufactured reviews. Long term, consistency and genuine experience still tend to win.
To pull this off though you need 40 accounts on different IPs / locations or a network of friends you can tell exactly what to write. Short term is a interesting word... i am watching the account to see how long it works.
 
Makes sense now why some places rank even if the service isn't great.

Yeah man, it is crazy to see it. The wilder thing is the landing page while not hard on the eyes has no SEO at all and can be found on page 5 or under.

What you’re describing is review manipulation, and while it can work short-term, it’s risky, and can get a Google Business Profile suspended or wiped out. The smart move is to apply the signals behind it—without faking anything.
