  • Google My Maps Citations are presented on Fiverr to business owners as a a way to get quick local rankings, but do these custom maps actually impact rankings? Find out in this Whitespark Weekly episode what happens to rankings if a business builds thousands of map pins in My Maps.
    We had 28,000 My Maps pins added to a custom map for a business and tracked the impact of this on their local rankings over a 3 month period.
    On Fiverr they claim My Maps will benefit businesses by:
    1. Achieving fast local rankings
    2. Top rankings in local 3-pack
    The results: No impact on rankings.
    The recommendation: Save yourself the money. Google My Maps citations will not help your business rank better in search results.

    It’s not a ranking tool….it’s a map tool. It will make a business more visible in an area when searched via map. Only one pin is registered but I’ve seen businesses pop up miles away from site over closer competitors

    I can make any map for anyone on Google my maps look just like this with actual pins and map directions pointing to the same business is just seconds. This is exactly what they are doing!!!!! Hello!!!! Then send you a copy take a pic of it or share actual data directly to you.. only thing is it's just cached and stored in Google servers for only one person's profile 😂... It's not a live thing. Not index, only real to the person that made it... It's like similar to creating your own private trip on a Garmin, or using maps to make a trip or add stops on a trip then sharing it to someone. Similar to sharing your location or sharing directions. It's just an entire private map (they created for free on Google my maps) that's shared ... As long as that person has space on there Google drive the map link will always be there. But it's not on the Internet published.. it's a real map just for one person who's sharing it. Hope that makes sense people!!!

    Are you sure? because I think it worked for me. I have tried the map citation service 2 times and both of the times I saw a little boost in the ranking. I am not 100% sure that the ranking was improved because of map citation or not but I saw the improvements after taking this service

    my second message of what my Fiverr person promised to do - High-Domain Backlinks:
    30 Web 2.0 Backlinks: We will create high-domain Web 2.0 backlinks with unique article submissions that include your keywords and Google Map embeds.
    30 Profile Backlinks: We will generate unique profile backlinks on high domain authority sites (90+ domain rating).
    In summary, our strategy includes:
    - Google Map points and geo-tagging
    - Local IP map links
    - Top local citations with NAP consistency
    - Web 2.0 backlinks and article submissions
    - Google Map embedding
    - Unique profile backlinks
    - Comprehensive reporting
    - Internal activities plan
    - Future Recommendations
    This approach is designed to effectively boost your GMB ranking. The task will be completed within 6 to 7 days, and Google typically takes 5 to 7 weeks to start indexing the links and improve your keyword rankings.

    I was under the impression, it is suppose to make you more visible in your local or extended area on google map, not "rankings".
    Rankings is to tied your website, content, keywords, etc

    Since Shaw Electrical is a dummy google listing you have, does it even have a website? As it only had 1 (5 Star review) what were you expecting LOL its a completely dead and useless listing. For a running business you'd have at least 5-10 5star reviews a website and social media pages and what not which help with this. I'm a business owner myself considering buying this but this was a pretty pathetic take on Google Map Citations.

      Yeah, i've seen it work in some cases although it is very much a Grey Hat technique and may even become Black Hat as Google becomes more clear about what it does not want to see. There is absolutely more to it though.

      There isn’t a shortcut. All you can do is continue building your SEO. More content on your website, more reviews, more links to your website. And eventually you’ll hit a wall anyway. There is just only so far google will rank a business locally. You can try to target other areas in the organic results with city pages, or, pay to rank with Google Local Ads.

      ​@@sammalick4968 There is no way that this method would work long term. Google is most likely able to test the validity of citations, and having thousands of citations randomly pop up in the span of a few days is a big red flag. I wouldn't be surprised if your rankings tanked and you got penalized by Google.
