Do Fiver "Google My Maps Citations" Help with Local Rankings?

Google My Maps Citations are presented on Fiverr to business owners as a a way to get quick local rankings, but do these custom maps actually impact rankings? Find out in this Whitespark Weekly episode what happens to rankings if a business builds thousands of map pins in My Maps.
We had 28,000 My Maps pins added to a custom map for a business and tracked the impact of this on their local rankings over a 3 month period.
On Fiverr they claim My Maps will benefit businesses by:
1. Achieving fast local rankings
2. Top rankings in local 3-pack
The results: No impact on rankings.
The recommendation: Save yourself the money. Google My Maps citations will not help your business rank better in search results.
