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...

I have a similar issue but my "continue" button does not work for the 1st appeal:

How did this play out? I have a similar issue I think, but we did not even get a chance to do the 1st appeal as the "continue" button is disabled. Should I just jump to the 2nd appeal? Thank you. related screenshots: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JamUNW7GTh1gaVOcoi8XYwhWvRvc_ed4

With regard to citations a few questions: How do you set up a yahoo account? (Yext?) For Bing - I have been importing my GBPs. This is extremely frustrating as the Bing accounts will not publish my pictures or updates and I have to contact support EVERY time to push any changes through. Anyone...

I have never seen an SAB win a physical store. But fine, lets say exceptions exist. Why then does not everyone do a SAB instead of physical then?

Can SABs get to the 3pac and outcompete GBPs with physical addresses? Id guess it depends on proximity of the searcher to the physical location GBP. Maybe. Are there any examples where an SAB can locally outrank a physical GBP that exists within the Service area of the SAB? I do not know of...

@maria.mktagency - Im confused how if the first appeal was approved - how can a 2nd appeal even be made? Why was a 2nd appeal done or needed if the 1st was approved? with regard to @Professor M comment check out this link and see the response/resolution...
