I’ve had a Google Business Profile for about a year now. Before launching it, we created roughly 75 citations using a slightly different version of our business name. We only just updated all of those citations this past weekend to match the GBP name exactly. In your experience, what kind of...

we've ensured that we have been conservative with our approach. Like I mentioned we dominated in the #1 position for all of our kp's until the account was suspended. I've come to learn that we were using the same credit card for 2 different Google Ads accounts which we believe was the reason...

suspension happened in early Feb and we've been back since about the 3rd week in March. Last review was a week ago for two reviews, then 3 weeks ago.

no idea what you just said.

oh no we rank for a lot of keywords; we just don't rank as high. Prior to the account suspension, we dominated in the #1 position for most of our keywords; now, not so much. No other profile even comes close to 1. the # of reviews we have (67) and 2. no company with a 5-star review average has...

So my "account" was suspended, which resulted in 3 profiles being suspended. We got all 3 back up, but my question is, does anyone know definitively if a suspension causes a reduced map pack ranking filter to be applied to the profile? If so, do you know how it is applied and what type of...

I can't for the life of me figure out why Google keeps rejecting my Cover photo. It's within the file size. It's within the width and length parameters. It has no text overlays. It's a photo of me and my wife (we're Realtors). It's a very high def photo. It's a normal photo. What gives...

Thanks Greg. Is it necessary to have already submitted citations prior to submitting for my GBP?

ar are you referring to my real estate license or the businesses business license? the business license would be in the name of the Brokerage not mine.

yes I have my real estate license but it doesn't show the address on it.

I don't have anything with that address on it. If I have a website dialed in (with that address), 100+ citations (with that address), social media accounts (with that address), trademark with the state my team team, would you suggest anything that should be done?

I'm a Realtor and my broker has an office and I want that office location as my GBP address. There are a couple of other agents that have their profile address at that same location and have had them for many many years. I'd heard that Google's efforts to verify profiles have become stringent...

anyone

I could have sworn that I saw messenger like a year or two ago but I don't see it in my GBP. What's the word on that nowadays?

I used a citation submission service about a year ago on one of my websites and I can't remember who I used. I also don't know what website citations are out there for my company. I have recently had to move my website over to a different URL and I need to update my citations. How do I go...
