I like the social media link idea. This is a good option when you're limited. I'm also worried about tanking the GBP rankings by adding a page that's not indexable. Thanks Jason!

Thanks for commenting. I appreciate your contribution. I respectfully disagree that the outbound link chosen for GBP has no impact on GBP rankings: https://www.sterlingsky.ca/does-the-url-you-link-to-in-google-my-business-impact-ranking-in-the-local-pack/

Thanks for popping in. I like those ideas but they aren't options at the moment. In regards to noindex pages in GBP, I have never seen any Google documentation referencing it either.

Hi there, I wanted to start a discussion on this topic. I don't really want to do this at all, but I was wondering if this is allowed by Google. I haven't found a direct answer on this topic, but it seems the answer is yes, that Google allows it but that it's not a great idea. The only reason...

Anything you can share on this for multi-location?

Thanks for commenting. No, they don't have an integration for GBP. But here's an update. You're going to love this. The client removed the Booking link after contacting us for help. But they did not communicate this to us, so we spent time looking and thinking it was a bug. The whole time it...

How did this end up? Did you test using a URL that doesn't redirect? If so, did it impact rankings?

Update: I was able to confirm with Yext that Reserve With Google is not enabled for this account.

Hi there! I have a few listings that are showing a Calendly link like this: https://app.screencast.com/aWdC0PJro2Xw1 When I click on the "Providers" link it takes me to this help doc: https://support.google.com/reserve/answer/12174393 When I go into the "Bookings" settings, a different link...

I also have this email address for Yahoo support: yahoo-support@yext.com. Update: I just email them and my email got rejected saying: "Address not found"

The team says we already have Bulk Verification status but in their experience, it doesn't allow for re-verifying listings instantly. We have a few listings each month that get un-verified that we need to re-verify, and I was looking to see if there were any other options for doing this in an...

Hi Jason! Long-time no talk. Thank you for the tip. It's much appreciated!

Each time I verify an GBP listing, I set up GA4 and GSC first. Then I verify GBP with the same account and get instant verification. I've only seen Google support and SEOs talk about GSC allowing for instant verification. But I do wonder if GA4 has any effect at all. I'm just wondering what...

Hi there! I've never used the Google Business Profile (GBP) Manager Agency Dashboard before. We have a multi-location client that we manage GBP for. I was wondering, if a GBP listing becomes unverified in the Agency Account, can the agency reverify the listing right in the dashboard quickly and...

This is a really good question and I can see you’re concerned with it looking spammy. It is a best practice to include the location name in the page title, meta description, headings, and body content for all service pages that you’d like to rank in that location. If you don’t add the location...
