Good luck and let us know how it works out!

I just checked a few profiles I have access to and I am seeing the same thing, I click on the "change cover" or "change logo" buttons and nothing happens. Possibly a bug. When I click the trash can to delete a photo, that works. Going to share this to see if others can confirm.

I do not think there are two profiles to merge, unless I am misunderstanding. The one listed as a duplicate is not a separate profile; it is already merged with the live listing. When you click on it, it should redirect to the live listing. Just make sure all your reviews are on the live...

Anything that shows up for a branded search for the business. All the ones you mention I would consider high value, except Yahoo. I haven't thought about Yahoo in years. I would also add BBB to this list.

Do you have access to the live profile too? If not, I would see if you can get a domain level email for the business and claim the profile with that. I have also had bad luck claiming profiles using an agency account, mainly because Google was unable to verify my affiliation with the business...

For sure, good luck and let us know how it works out!!

Ah ok, I misunderstood. Ignore the moving an SAB article I sent lol. You can just update the address as normal in the dashboard and verify to the new location. Yes, you can reasonably make a tree service a hybrid business with the address showing, as long as you have signage and follow the other...

First, read this article to understand how to move a service area business (SAB) on Google. It is a bit more complicated than simply adding the address: https://www.sterlingsky.ca/move-your-sab-without-destroying-rankings/ I would not worry too much about a suspension if you get all your ducks...

These pins represent how a single GBP ranks across a service area. These particular grids are created using Places Scout rank tracker https://www.placesscout.com/

Update part 2. Verification went through, without the need for a second verification method or contacting support. Actually surprised!!

A lease and a license should be enough to get a profile reinstated, as long as both include the address that matches the GBP. The bigger question is why the profiles are being suspended immediately in the first place. Does the business already have any profiles live on Google? You need to...

I think most businesses write blog posts from the company’s perspective. You can and should balance that by adding customer stories, case studies, photos, and similar elements to create a more customer focused feel.

New businesses should absolutely create high value citations. Established businesses do not need to worry about creating new citations on an ongoing basis, but keeping existing citations updated if NAP information ever changes is important. Although NAP consistency across citations might not be...

The networking in person is unmatched. A live chatroom like on Discord or Slack helps, but nothing can replace face to face interactions at an in person conference.

Totally agree, fresh content is a must, or else the talk could fall flat. The engagement you get from a live audience versus doing a talk virtually is also underrated!
