FlowRight Plumbing
Back to #1 in 14 days after a competitor spam attack
Where they were before us
FlowRight Plumbing had been the #1 plumber in Denver for three years. Then in the space of two weeks, they dropped from #1 to #6 on Google Maps. Calls fell by 60%. Investigation revealed a coordinated spam campaign by a competitor — fake negative reviews, GBP spam reports, and manipulated citation data. The business was bleeding revenue daily.
Final Results
What we actually did
Speed was critical. We immediately filed Google spam reports with documented evidence, engaged Google support directly, and simultaneously began a counter-authority campaign. We rebuilt citation data from scratch, launched a rapid review generation campaign through their existing customer base, and strengthened on-page signals to make their ranking profile more resilient. We also identified and disavowed toxic backlinks that the competitor had likely pointed at their site.
