Yes, it was when I spoke with them the first time. From my experience, I would ring them and if they say about creating another listing I'd say definitely ask them to look into the original listing first. Then give it a little longer to see if it gets approved. It's very frustrating, but...

Hi, yes they did get approved but it took around 4 months. They don't appear to have a team in the UK so the support is not very good to be honest. Annoyingly they told me the listings I had created had probably passed the verification time, so asked me to create the listings again...then all...

Thanks for your response. Unfortunately that is the number I've been trying. Just says it's not possible to connect. Very frustrating

Hi all, I have created Yelp listings on behalf of clients over the last few months and all those listings apparently 'won’t appear on Yelp until Yelp moderators approve your business'. The listings have been like this for around 3 months, and I am completely unable to contact anybody from Yelp...

This is what I was thinking. Frustrating all the competition are using this tactic, and I have requested name changes to remove the location of which are accepted by Google. The other businesses change their names back to include the location and have no issues.

Hi there, I'm just after to some quick advice regarding GBP business name for a real estate agents. Many of the local competition are adding their location after the business name, which clearly seems to be improving the rankings of these businesses in the map packs. I would normally assume...

My client insights appear to be working ok. Just logos strangely

Hi there, Is anybody else noticing that logos are being removed from GMB profiles? I have 15 GMB profiles in my account and over the last week all have been removed. When I go into images within each accounts dashboard the logos are still visible. I have removed and re uploaded to the listings...

Thanks for getting back to me Joy. i'm confused where the other listing has come from. Looks as though they have a saved copy from prior to the claiming of the business. Are you aware if something like this takes place at Google?

Hi there, A client of mine is reopening today after a lockdown so I checked their account to end the temporary closure. When I searched for their business in Google search to check they were visible, a very old version of the listing from over a year ago was displayed. There are now 2...

Hi everyone, I have had a customer message me saying that their current GMB profile has vanished and has been replaced by an old listing. The problem is that they left the old listing open and seems as though Google has now merged the listings together but has chosen the listing the customer...

Thanks for you comments everyone. To clarify, like Tyson eluded to, the purpose of the link building for me is primarily to improve rankings, not the domain authority of my clients site. Sorry I didn't make that point particularly clear, and probably confused things a little throwing in DA of...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering whether anybody has seen a clear indication that acquiring links from local sources, rather than good quality general links, has an even more positive impact on local rankings? So, would a link from say a DA10 local website take preference over a DA30 general...

Ok thanks Colan

Hi Colan, So you would track it even without a location page on their website targeting that area?
