/loc/ - Local SEO

i've been seeing way too many people trying to swap numbers between different profiles. it worked for years if you were clever with it, but google's pattern recognition is catching the exact match problem faster than ever. if i see one more client lose their primary listing because they tried to hide a secondary location behind an old number, i'm going to lose it. there's no way to mask it anymore without risking the whole cluster. just use a unique tracking number and deal with the extra cost. anyone else seeing massive suspensions lately from this?
