Vivint is more of an ADT competitor. They are a security/automation company with monthly fee model.

It is clear they have spent alot of money buying links from their profile, but so has ADT.

A more fitting question would be why ADT hasn't also been penalized.

A likely explanation is that ADT has also been penalised, but the organic references to ADT counterbalance it enough to not affect them as much.

Manual removal from the results supersedes the core relevancy algorithms.

Because Google is not competing with ADT, YET?

I wonder if we will ever see ATT style, govt forced, split up of Google sometime within this generation...
