Description

Hi all!

I was notified that BERTopic has a potential spam page acting as if it is the official page, namely https:// bertopic.com/.

### The **official documentation** is https://maartengr.github.io/BERTopic/

I want to make it clear that I do not authorize this page, and it misuses the BERTopic name and content without permission. Now I'm all for open-source, but the site even has a contact page pointing towards some weird spammy mail account.

For those who have the time and are willing to stand up for open-source, you can report this page to Google's search engine [here](https://developers.google.com/search/help/report-quality-issues) so it hopefully gets removed there.

If anybody has experience dealing with this nonsense, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Research direction

No repository file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by reviewing the reported bertopic.com page and comparing it with the official documentation at https://maartengr.github.io/BERTopic/; done would require a clearly defined repository action for addressing the suspected spam page.
