Recently, Google Maps has been enforcing spam penalties more rigorously. Even Locksmith results seem to be improving.<\/p>\n

So it was surprising to see a report in the forums<\/a> that the Authoritative OneBox was showing for this very broad search for Breast Augmentation New Jersey <\/a>. Not only was it a single listing on a broad category search<\/a> which has been a topic of recent concern, it showed for a statewide search phrase.

What was equally surpising was that this plastic surgeon was also showing a statewide Authoritative One Box results from the same address and phone number for Tummy Tucks<\/a> & Breast Implants<\/a> and showing 3 Packs for Liposuction<\/a> and Abdominoplasty<\/a>. Upon investigation Dr Racanelli had 5 listngs for his one address<\/a> and more spam<\/a> at a second address.

I had not seen this sort of spam since the wild west days of Brain Injured Lawyers in LA<\/a> last year. Did Google’s spam filters break down or has their OneBox algo gone amuck? Or maybe a West Coast SEO moved east? Who knows but the results are not worthy of Google.<\/p>\n

Regardless, clearly it is spam and it is accentuated by the recent trend of displaying the Authoritative OneBox<\/a> front and center on very broad search terms. This single piece of spam would have been much less offensive if shown in the 10-Pack.
