Many of the links from these sources are from the same 8-10 websites in the homes niche. Is there a risk that this would disimprove a site's ranks? The links have definitely helped us over the last 12 months, but I want to diversify next year. I'm going to look into more sponsorships. Are...

One of our client's rank for organic near-me terms is fluctuating at the moment. The actual results don't seem to make a lot of sense. Is anyone else seeing fluctuations?

It's been my experience that SABs rank worse for 'near me' searches. Any evidence of this?

I think I saw Ben say video verification is not available right now. Can someone confirm? I'm about to change the address on a listing and I was hoping to do video verification.

Seeing some fluctuations today again. The glitch where companies don't show seems to be becoming less of an issue but it still happens sometimes. Anyone else seeing fluctuations?

This 100%. SABs have been slaughtered. I still think there's a bit of a glitch as sometimes the SABs I work with don't appear at all on search. I'm hopeful of a correction as I don't think the way they're ranking/hiding SABs at the moment makes much sense.

The new address will be their home address so it should be a SAB...

I thought this wasn't possible with a SAB?

Does my plan sound ok @keyserholiday? Thanks for your help.

My plan is as follows. Posting here to sanity-check it. 1. Create a new GMB at a legit address under the same business name and verify it. Should I use the same email for this as the old GMB? 2. Update the citations when verification is complete. 2. Contact Google to request that reviews from...

Yes, it's when the key phrases are refreshed/rentered on the maps that the results change. They look more like things were before the March update.

I have noticed this. The ranks for the 'near me' terms still seem quite unstable. A few of my clients lost ranks, and regained their positions yesterday, but lost them again today.

Is this a glitch? The SAB, which is Sparkly Maid in this case, doesn't show on the initial search but then shows up in the 'map pack' when you go into the map and reenter the search term. There are lots of examples of this in the service industry. Rankings change when you input the search term...
