okay, I think I might be seeing things but I haven't been checking for spam business listings for the past couple of weeks BUT I just had to check a listing for a client this morning as we had a spam fighting tactic planned a few weeks ago and I was just checking to see how bad it currently was. To my complete surprise (scratching head) I found just 1 "slightly" spammed out listing, but that was it.

Not exact example but you'll see below I am not seeing hardly any spam listings:

There's one listed below:

Nothing listed for "personal injury lawyer nyc", there were 1 or 2 when I zoomed in and out but nothing like it has been in the past.

I don't have much time to dig into this right now, hence this post, but just wanted to put it out there, has anyone else seen this reduction...or am I just having "one of those days"? I'd probably go with the latter...

Please let me know your findings, thank you.
 
I'll happily take credit. We have clients in both those cities and we do a lot of spam removal lol

But no, in reality, Google has definitely cleaned up a lot of spam in this industry. It's not like it was back in the spring.

Thanks Joy, I'll give you a couple of other cities for you to take a look at 😏

Also a big cleanup in Divorce Lawyers, I actually thought it was a mistake, hence the post...I'll dig a little more but good to see. TY!
