I agree this is disappointing. Does anyone know how this will impact insights? Specifically for calls. If call history goes away, will we still be able to see how many people clicked to call in insights? I've been looking for an answer in the documentation, but can't find anything that...

Thanks Joy, will do! We have two other clients with this issue as well. I will DM the details to you once I have them all organized :)

Hiya! As prseo said, having business and practitioner listings is a legitimate strategy when done correctly. There are a few best practices I (and my teams) follow: 1 - There must be multiple practitioners at a practice to be within Google's guidelines. 2 - The practitioner listing should...

Hi Joy! A client of ours who has been having this issue was brought to my attention yesterday. Their pin keeps getting relocated to a place that is hours away from their address, and when the client tried to move the pin back via the ownership account, their listing was suspended - twice...

I get that option too. My worry is that accepting this will make my own Google account an owner of the brand account. Since all of my team members who have access to our business account also have the same option, my worry is that they would also give their own Google account login access as...

Hi all, I just tested this, and it seems that our access to the GBPs from our agency's brand account is not affected when I manually remove the business account from the brand account. I'm thinking that we are safe to either do nothing or choose "Don't add me as a direct owner or manager" if...

Hey @JoshuaMackens I moved back over to our SEO team earlier this year, and haven't had much to do with PPC so I haven't noticed this issue myself. I wonder if opting into the call tracking within GMB has something to do with this. It doesn't make sense though. I'll chat with the PPC team...

Hey everyone! It's been a while so first I want to say HELLO! Over the last year or two I've been mostly in Paid Search, so I've not had time to keep 100% up to date with changes in SEO. I'm back to my old living breathing SEO and Local search self now though, and naturally am being greeted...

Hey Jeff, I haven't worked with Yoast in quite a while to be honest. I'm sure there are other folks on here who know a lot more about that then I do. I did find this blog post from Yoast that seems pretty comprehensive: Structured data with Schema.org: the ultimate guide • Yoast

You could try downloading them to your computer, and then dragging and dropping. Or uploading in bulk. But I wouldn't add them all at once. I'd add several a week, that way there is regular interaction with the listing. I would also do it from the client's account if possible since the account...

Hey David, I just use my own Google account. Sometimes, I'll also suggest from the Google account we have set up for the client as well. If it's really being a bugger, I'll ask my team to also suggest the edit. But yeah, your normal account should be fine. Just make sure you're suggesting the...

Grey hat, black hat, white hat... yeah. There are some marketers that will do whatever as long as it works, and hope they don't get caught. I tend to stay as white hat as possible though because penalties are not fun to deal with. They are also not fun to explain to clients. But like Joy said...

Hi Jeff, You're very welcome! Yes, definitely. Your business type, service area, services, same as (which you would use to say that your website is the same business that's in your GBL, Facebook page, Twitter, YP, Yelp, etc), NAP - these are all things that should be included in your schema...

I almost forgot... This sounds like your asking about sitelinks. Unfortunately there isn't a whole lot that can be done to influence these. The only thing I personally know to do is to consistently follow best practices as far as site structure and on page SEO. Things like schema, internal...

Hi there! I have a few thoughts, haha First things first, I would recommend a few tools that will help you view your title tags (TT), metas, etc. The Moz bar will be your friend, I think. There is a free version that will show you basic stuff like the above, and there is a 30 day free trial...
