      If you want, you could use GMail filters to delete those emails automatically. Here’s how:

      1. click the engine button (settings), then “see all settings”, then “filters and blocked addresses”.
      2. click “create a new filter”. Add “top of Google search” to the field “has the words”, leave other fields blank.
      3. click “create filter”, then check the “delete it” box, then “create filter” again.
      4. repeat steps 2-3 for other shit that SEO spam is likely to mention.

      Important: never use as a filter anything that legitimate users might reasonably say. Only things that you’re fairly certain to come from a spammer.

      EDIT: I repeated two steps without noticing it. My bad.

        OP I highly recommend following these steps to create your custom filter to clear your inbox! There are also plugins that you can use to do this. It is not required but maybe less intimidating to use.

          I recommend not deleting it but rather creating a label and checking the skip invoice box. That way you still have access to them if someone legitimately sent you an email that matched the query

            creating a label and checking the skip invoice box

            That works great too, specially if you want to use less foolproof filters. Or even a mix of both strategies.

        Damn, this is helpful. I (ops manager) just manually delete these as I see them, but I don’t always get to all of them in the main company inbox before the owner sees them and I sometimes have to field questions about “are you sure our SEO is good?” I’m going to set this up, lol.

      Pretty sure that’s desert terrain.
