A law firm has a Google My Business page for each of the attorneys. The names of the pages are written as <company name> <attorney name>and they all point to the same exact address on Google Maps. What is the SEO implication? Does this hurt SEO, or is it okay as soon as they have different titles?
What are the local SEO implications of having multiple Google Pages for the same business address?

Assuming the attorneys are all public-facing with their own customer base, there's no problem with them each having their own listing. However, by including the practice name you are breaching Google's guidelines:The title of the page for the practitioner should include only the name of the practitioner, and shouldnt include the name of the organization.Whether or not listings for each attorney is the best strategy depends on the specifics of their business.For instance, if each attorney has their own area of specialism, it's probably a useful approach in that each can be optimised for their specialism: divorce attorney, medical negligence attorney, etc.In the absence of such differentiation, it may be more beneficial to consolidate into a single listing for the entire practice.
