Ok and thank you @ElizabethRule

Update here - the client never lost access to the HQ GBP. The issue was that a Call Rail tracking number was being used in the 2ry GBP. Once I added his cell phone number as a 2ry number here he regained access. Further, upon trying to verify - his cell phone was offered for phone verification...

@ElizabethRule - I think I have a similar issue in that Google is trying to phone verify through my client's GBP 2ry number (which is his cell phone and that he does not want to be seen publicly). Do you think that if we complete the verification (with the 2ry number) it will be ok and the still...

I have a client who already has a GBP and used his personal gmail to open it (for several years open now). Recently he tried to open a 2nd branch GBP, but made the mistake of trying to verify (by text) with a tracked CallRail number (twice). Now when he tries to verify it shows his personal...

@JoyHawkins - does this also apply when moving an SAB into a physical GBP in the same city? Wont that clash with overlapping territory issues? Also, should I make a new phone number for the new physical GBP when creating it? We want to use the phone number of the original location. If we...

@JoyHawkins - I have been going through your youtubes under "links" (thank you and there are quite alot). Can you point to the one where you test out the impact of (solely) locally relevant backlinks on GBP rankings? I saw that you did work on niche relevant backlinks and this primary boosts...

This answer makes alot of sense to me. I wish there was some data or experiments out there. @JoyHawkins - do you know any experiments around this or is this an experiment you might consider doing?

Thank you all for your thoughts.

Doesnt getting relevant links for the website help all aspects of the SEO including the local rankings? And assuming I have maxed out all other avenues, then isnt getting backlinks still worthwhile? I found this from local falcon to support the notion...

by the way Jason, thanks for taking the time to answer. I always see you helping people out and appreciate you

I find PI lawyers sign up for low traffic places all the time. They are not free and sometimes I can track who is doing their SEO. This especially applies to niche law directories that have 10-20 traffic. Is it a different reasoning for niche links?

How do you know and/or measure that? Can you explain logic and/or experiemtns that validate that in translated local rankings increases? Ad lets assume what youre saying is true - what is the calculation there? What traffic makes that worth the price?

Hi all, I could not find the "backlinks" thread and guess citations is the right place. If not, can someone direct me? Thank you. How do you assess the SEO value of a local backlink, especially for improving Google Business Profile rankings? For example, if a site is highly relevant and local...

@Colan Nielsen - was this question ever resolved and if not can we have an update here? Thank you. I do not think multi BBB profiles are possible. Multi locaitons inside a single profile is the likely answer. I am unclear how to do that and if we need to buy a accredation to do so. Working with...

I definitely think you need to take this to the google community forum. This is my go to place after the 2nd appeal. This people have direct access to Google and want to help. They also include Joy. Example of happy resolution...
