SEO experts and others: How can I get my warning onto the internet about a builder who is a serial fraudster

4 replies

I’ve recently been spectacularly ripped off by a builder who it transpires is a serial fraudster.

When I google his name right now, nothing negative appears. I want to warn the entire world about this man by telling them my story. I have zero legal concerns about doing this (i.e. I’m confident my actions will be legal) and just want to know how best to do it.

He has no google business entry or entry in checkatrade or anything like that. He was on mybuilder.co.uk but has now (at my request) been removed.

People who know about these things: how can I get my story about him to come up in google under a search of his name?

If you create a free blog using Wix, Blogspot or Wordpress, it could be just a one-page site with this story on it, but it will get indexed by Google once it goes live. Just make sure you use his name in the header, at least one subheading and scattered throughout the story - don't overdo it, just write naturally Smile

Excellent. I’ll get straight onto that tonight.

Any other suggestions? I wanted to leave a Google review so that it comes up on the side in the search result but he hasn’t got a listing. Can I create one or does the business owner have to create it?

Anywhere I can create an entry for him and leave a review?

Watchdog?

No, only that business itself can create the Google listing
