I worked at a company that helped small businesses improve their Yelp, Google, Foursquare, etc listings, reply to reviews, etc. In order to do that we had to constantly crawl their listings looking for changes to their info and new reviews. Shortly after launch our CEO called a meeting and made a big announcement that our service was a big success because customers reported that views on their listing pages were through the roof! The engineering team exchanged puzzled looks before one spoke up: isn't that just the traffic from our crawlers?
