Fantastic cleaners is like a franchise I think.
They do everything half heartedly

[Adam P]

fantastic services is a very sneaky company and one to watch out for. they trade under many names, with the intention of being the 3 companies that a customer will go to to get a quote. they have many sites with many generic names each with a different number. customer calls 3 companies of their's and books one with fantastic being the company that arrives any way. watch out for them as they come into your area. if i googled one of the services they do and my area, they appear 6/7 times on page 1, taking up 2 google ads, 2 maps listing, and 3 natural results. very unfair and sneaky.

Can they be reported to google?  If they are using shady practices  to minipulate Google listings  I'm sure Google would do something 

[Adam P]

i have reported them before. google adwords will go if found to be in breach, last time i checked the adverts did disappear, however the natural listings nothing will change, nor will the maps listing if just one person reports them.

i posted on here about them. no one seemed to care tbh

I found them because I was looking for a carpet on Gumtree. I have an addiction for finding bargains on there and ebay 

I'm not really bothered what other people do, but I suppose if your running Adwords campaigns and they are putting multiple listings up then it's a bit naughty and should be reported. Probably better to use your Adwords search tool rather than a search engine.

Quite amazing how this company covers a lot of the country. Obviously can't be professional in any way as the work is probably contracted to casual workers in different locations.

Is this one of the reasons I hate Google, you are handing over the success of your business to someone who couldn't give a ratsarese about you, they don't care if you succeed or fail. Plus you are selling your business to people based on  3 lines of text on a computor screen.

Websites are a great thing but we need to bypass how our potential customer get  there, if they have to search google  to find you then they will also find all your competitors and be open to multiple listing from the same company

[Stoots]

They will most likely be getting around it by giving each site a different number and physical location on google maps.

Is it a bit naughty? Perhaps but as far as google are concerned they are separate company's.

[Adam P]

^^^ that is exactly what they are doing.
