No but I'd argue it's not very competitive. Go past page one and most results aren't even targeting the words 'appliance repair in orange county' and variants thereof.. It's possible Google just likes the structure of the page and has awarded them an applicable rank. The last time I had a one...

Ranking for what? It's easily possible without link building. But not sure where you checked but ocappliancedoctor does have a number of inbound links. You will also not the many reviews which are helping. And both yelp and google link back to the site.

I suspect the docs haven't been updated. AI agents is too busy making a mess of everything else.

A lot can be automated. Create a wordpress multisite and install a custom theme with all the necessary functions to create a simple site with all the required info. Add in the API to pull reviews and real estate listings. Almost zero maintenance once up and running. Each realtor would them have...

That not how I read it. Look at page 20 where the say the Page Title is considered part of the Main Content where the main content is everything not included in the header or footer.

I agree. But some members are looking for a quick fix that only works if they understand how Google thinks. Which means their education should maybe begin with some personal research.

Not sure I agree with this. There is lots of direction about how to assess the title in relation to the rest of the page. It even says the page title is considered part of the main content (unless I've missed something).

You can do whatever you want with schema. You could put the address in the telephone field if you want - schema doesn't care. But Google will only take note of correctly formatted and structure schema. And it may be that it took note of business review scheme entries and either ignored then or...

I don't think it ever was part of schema. Review is generally used for a review of a creative work: https://schema.org/Review

I'm in the UK which might make a difference but I see a different set of dentist in the top 10. I also see Google has changed okc to Oklahoma City, OK, USA.

They need to claim the profile and allow you access as the manager just a Jo suggested. It makes sense as it helps ensure each GBP is connected to the business owner. There was a time when agencies ran hundreds of profiles often with fake info they could sell on to as leads to businesses.

Did this change the exif data? It maybe that the original data was overwritten by Ps and google has picked up on this.

Why do you even think using AI is going to help? The tech news is full of reports of all and any AI automation creating havoc around the world. There are some success stories but most aren't delivering on the promises. Use AI as an assistant if you want but everything it does needs to be sense...

Their homepage title is: Tree Services - Land O' Lakes, FL - Tree Works Environmental Tree Care Your homepage title is: Tree Service Land O'Lakes FL | 5 Star Rated | Women Owned And the service page is: Tree Service Land O'Lakes FL | Long Branch Tree Service - almost a duplicate It could...

Isn't tree trimming or tree removal just different type of tree service? Do you lift crowns, pollarding, dead wood clearing, tree planting, pruning, crown thining, topping, mulching, pest and disease control? List everything! And have pages for everything! SEO on this new site is pants. The...

That's correct - fixing the content will make a big difference. One of the things Google considers when ranking a page is performance. You can see how your site performs here: https://pagespeed.web.dev/analysis/https-longbranchtrees-com/7be322exqo?form_factor=mobile Note that Google considers...

I've just created a new profile for a side hustle. No website, no signage and no video verification required. Profile is up and running and all working well. Maybe this has something to do with locale.

Just looking at longbranchtrees.com for now. The King of Marketing isn't doing you any favours. Dreadful code, poor site structures and weak repeating content. All of which contribute to your falling ranking. The only reason anyone will be on your site is because they need some tree work. This...

Because I do a lot of development the FF tools are far superior to those on other browsers. I only use Chrome rarely because of the spyware. Don't even talk when chrome is open - Google listens to everything even when the browser is minimised.

Yes. And then no. Much like writing the case studies I enjoy the creative process. It's not like it's an everyday task, probably just once a week. I've seen the result of automation, especially as AI seems be involved and it's not good. The test I did got it so wrong and referred to something...

I tend to use them to point people to the projects and case studies I post on my website. Takes a few minutes to post some blurb and a link. Not sure it adds any value but it does make my profile look busy.
