I see this problem a lot where a powerful company has the $$$ to do SEO and basically push your search results in a way that is advantageous to them. For example, I moved to a place with black widows. Wanted to check the mortality rate. First post I find is one of those blog posts by a pest control company claiming a certain mortality rate. Search further for official resources and that number is wildly lower.
Same thing with Jerusalem bugs. Wanted to check how careful I should be (I hike at night). First post a pest control company claiming that a bite can cause a fever. Further research into trusted sources mention no such thing.
I hate what Google has become. I miss the days where the first result in Google was valuable.
Pro-tip: if the post explains something and end with ‘conclusion:’ they’re pushing a product.
