\"longest-names\"<\/p>\n

A Local 10 Pack in Google Maps is a coveted position for any business. I am always fascinated by the lengths and lack of discretion (think Boob Job San Diego<\/a>) in attempting to game the system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This listing<\/a> though, has got to take the cake for best effort. Interestingly, she showed in at least 8 10 Packs for her 12 various activities.<\/p>\n

\"rubberchicken\"<\/p>\n

Fortunately she did not show up for either psychotherapist or marriage counselor with a 10 Pack. It is not clear to me that this would be the woman you want helping others to make those sorts of life decisions. Seems that it would take a touch more\u00a0decisiveness.<\/p>\n

I am not sure this is the longest business name in Maps but it sure must come close. Her business name has 210 characters. I wonder how she answers the phone?<\/p>\n

So to start off the new year, I am offering any reader that submits a longer, more outrageous or more keyword stuffed business name that you find in Google Maps a very cool, Rubber Chicken Keychain that actually simulates laying an egg upon squeezing. There can be more than one winner and I will be the final judge of all entries. So act quickly so you don’t miss out on this demonstration of how Google manages to get us to modify our behaviors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
