I suspect Google wants as many GBP's as possible in an effort to then surpress them with Google Screened paid ads that look a lot like the map pack; without the map. My industry its around $150 a click just to get 2-3 per month.

Back in February, our Google Business Profile was ranking #1 across nearly all of our major keyword phrases, specifically “Realtor” and “Real estate agent”, throughout a full 3-mile Local Falcon grid. Every direction around our physical office was lit up green, with just a couple outliers at #2...

I am on the Appeals submission and staus page and I select my profile but the Continue button is greyed out. Why?

NAP isn't and hasn't been a ranking factor in years.

Hey everyone, I've heard that Google doesn’t officially count “profile age” as a ranking factor, so then technically, changing your business name on a GBP wouldn't reset the creation date. But here’s what I’m seeing (and suspect is true): Every time I change a business name, even on an...

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.
