Creating a separate site and building it out with localized content is an option, but it’s expensive and time-consuming. If the realtor has a GBP, I’d focus on getting that to rank in the map pack for local realtor terms. Fill out every part of the profile completely, interact with it at least...

As long as the information in BrightLocal is correct and matches the information you have in the GBP, I do not see any reason active sync would be a problem. @Jenny_BrightLocal any insights you can share here?

They look so clean!! nice work @whitespark

I would display the address in the footer - if you have 2 address, display both. Can you clarify if you have an address in Cypress or Houston, or both?

Reviews are only part of the equation. Without them, other local SEO work usually won’t get the best results. In competitive markets, reviews alone won’t push you into the local pack, but they can help you stay there. And remember, reviews do nothing for the website. Many businesses get just as...

sounds like a good question for Darren @whitespark !

Yes, from what I understand, you can have multiple phones set up with the authenticator app.

Hard to say without seeing the schema itself, but in general make sure the LocalBusiness schema is complete, detailed, and regularly updated. For example, if you're using the "review" property, keep it updated with new reviews as they come in. If the business expands into new service areas, make...

I’d recommend updating the footer and contact page with the new address before the move, and definitely before changing the address on your Google Business Profile. Same goes for major citations, social media profiles, and any online directories like the local Chamber of Commerce. The more...

To confirm, you used Google's "Manage your Google Business reviews" tool to report this review, and then you appealed it, and it got rejected? Since you have a case ID, you can post this on the GBP community forum and ask a PE to escalate this to Google. To me, the live review seems to violate...

Yikes! sd1111 keep us updated if you are able to get this resolved!

Not SEO but you can run Local Ads and get the branded pins that will show unprompted

I just helped @Cordell Crowley escalate an issue like this to Google https://localsearchforum.com/threads/gbp-support-claiming-a-website-isnt-official.62258/ Google claimed they fixed the issue, Cordell can you confirm if they did?

I’ve seen that before, 30 days is the longest of the possible wait times, I think. It means Google doesn’t have enough internal info to auto-approve the edit, so it needs more time to review it manually. What were you trying to change, were you adding or removing cities from the service area...
