I also do want to reply to this: "Is it possible to get a decent 300-word article for $10?" This is not legit per word rate. If you want decent writing expect to pay $0.05-$0.07 a word and that goes up a bunch if you want GOOD writing.

I like Zerys better then TextBroker and it is what we use if we need it, but truth be told, I just hired a content person to build a content team out the end of 2018. Having your own freelancers is just much better for everyone.

Def very old :) You can do this via Apple Maps on Mac's also.

Okay, so I'm jumping in late to this. But I just want to express my curmudgeonly skepticism around this. A few things: 1) I have tried this pretty regularly for years (though not in the last 18 months) and don't understand what would have changed for this to work. Without that explanation, it's...

No, I'm skeptical that they would even know ;) But I can ask a TC on that product and see what shakes loose!

Confirmed this trend across thousands of locations (and with in-house SEOs). The one thing that is not consistent is not everyone saw the change at the same time. For example a top 10 retailer has been like this for a while.

The reporting of the tagged GMB URLs in GSC is broken. Position on mobile and desktop is no longer usable, and you need to segment them out of your GSC reporting so they don't ruin position reports. Talked about this during my LocalU Advanced preso (that Joy missed) :p

Can you unpack this for me? The DogVacay homepage still resolves (Dog Boarding with Trusted, Local Pet Sitters | DogVacay) but the internal pages have been redirected to Rover. Nothing is a doorway page as they have redirected them. They have told Google they have moved, It's Google that is not...

Exactly my point ;)

TiL! Gonna get this setup.

Ha, Barry! You and I both know that they likely had tests of whatever the broad core update was in the wild before they rolled it out! Though my guess would be something tanked on your server ;)

Rover bought DogVacay a while ago and likely redirected the website. Google is really bad at updating redirected web URLs in their index that have a lot of internal and external links pointed at them. So likely what is happening is just an issue with Google's system that Rover appears to be...

I suggest starting with everyone involved in Local.com 15+ years ago

So not to be contrarian, or cross The Hawk, but I more or less always recommend that clients use physical addresses instead of SAB for listings. I have done a bunch of pieces of research on this over the years, and it has always been a kiss of death to be a SAB. Industries we have tested this on...

I wish someone would aggressively test the values of citations at scale again. Our last big test was a few years ago, and I'm curious if the value of citations/aggregators is continuing to decrease.
