Negative SEO for competitors refers to the unethical practice of using negative SEO tactics against a competitor’s website with the aim to damage their search engine rankings.  This can involve deploying a variety of tactics like creating low-quality backlinks to the competitor’s site, duplicating their content and spreading it across the internet, posting fake negative reviews about their business, or even hacking their website to introduce harmful elements. The goal is to decrease the competitor’s visibility in search engine results and negatively affect their online reputation.
