    NEW Local SEO Tips for HVAC Businesses

    Furnace repair is a big one too. People often search for specific problems rather than general terms, so content targeting individual services or sub-services can perform well, like “hot water heater leak repair” or even brand-specific ones like “Carrier furnace maintenance.” The search volume...

    Enhancing Security: Setting Separate Verification and Display Phone Numbers on Google My Business

    @calmicrobio Yes, the second number should stay hidden, even after verification. The only time it would show is if Google swaps it into the primary phone number slot. If that happens, just switch it back so the tracking number is the primary again.

    NEW Local SEO Tips for HVAC Businesses

    Such a good point about reviews. I see businesses with multiple locations offering the same services run into this issue all the time too. Sending clients a direct link to the GBP they should be reviewing is really important.

    NEW Local SEO Tips for HVAC Businesses

    Sometimes yes, but for HVAC businesses that have been around for years and do this annually, I haven’t seen it cause issues (i.e. this change usually doesn’t trigger reverification). That said, it can still happen, so it’s always good to be cautious and ready to complete verification if needed.

    SABs who are no longer at the address that was used to initially verify the GBP

    BrightLocal doesn’t know where the profile was originally verified; it’s likely just using the centroid of the main city the business serves. Be cautious when changing the address of an SAB. If the update isn’t done correctly, the profile might never rank in the new area or could take a very...

    NEW Local SEO Tips for HVAC Businesses

    I work a lot with home service businesses, especially HVAC companies, and one thing I’ve learned is that seasonal changes can have a big impact on local rankings. Changing your GBP category based on the season and the services you’re focusing on at that time is a simple but powerful strategy...

    NEW Local SEO Tips for Dentists

    Love this idea. I could see it working well for specialties like pediatrics (kids dentist, pediatric dentist, children’s dentist) or TMJ (TMJ specialist, TMJ dentist, TMJ doctor).

    Fixing LocalBusiness Schema Markup - Tips?

    You can add reviews as part of the LocalBusiness schema: https://schema.org/LocalBusiness It's up to you what to add, but Schema.org says to add "The overall rating, based on a collection of reviews or ratings, of the item." So "item" does lend to a physical product, but no one is really...

    Trending Google Caps SERPs at 10 Results - Goodbye 100 Result SERPs!

    Google recently limited search results to just 10 per page, removing the ability to generate 100-result search pages that many SEO tools have relied on for comprehensive rank tracking. This change significantly impacts tools like Ahrefs, which have reported that rankings beyond the top 10 will...

    Stick with your original thread on the forum if a PE is already helping you. Def add the case IDs and the details/proof for all locations. If no PE is helping you, you can start a new thread or DM me the thread and I can take a look. In the future, if you have 10 or more profiles were...

    Are these businesses all part of the same brand or owned by the same parent company? If yes, you should definitely look into Google Bulk Verification. Before that, you need to appeal and get these profiles reinstated. You cannot apply for Bulk Verification with suspended profiles. Since you...

    Unable to See NMX Preview Upon Clicking on GBP From Dashboard

    Pretty sure this is a separate issue. The knowledge panels might not be displaying because the profiles are unverified/suspended. Have you contacted support about this? I can see knowledge panels for the unverified and suspended profiles I have access to.
