    Google poisoning local results in incognito mode again

    And that's because google is an Ad agency. If they aren't making money out of your data you have no value to them.

    Business paying for fake 5 star reviews on Google Maps

    What staff? It's all AI these days. Google is an advertising platform. Fake reviews doesn't affect their bottom line so they really don't care about your report.

    Verify A Google Business Profile With A Photo

    You can't. It's something Google is testing. I doubt if it will ever become a standard method as it can too easliy be faked and abused.

    Geogrid trackers: shouldn't we assume that they're the next on Google's hitlist?

    The API doesn't really give you any protection. It could be argued that Google knows more about you than a data scraper. Google is well known for only ever giving you half the story. GSC, G4A and other reporting tools never provide the full picture.

    Places Scout (What Search Tracker Do You Use?)

    Even if it does it will be unreliable. They might be close on occasion but there are so many variables the chances of you seeing what I'm seeing is remote.

    Asked ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini which SEO agency to hire in the 50 largest US cities: what we found

    Are those the questions people actually ask? When doing some research for local SEO a while back very few businesses actually searched for 'SEO' anything. Searches were more along the 'how to improve ranking' or 'how to get more leads' type question. Where the acronym SEO was used it often was...

    Service-area business relocated, profile reinstated, but Maps visibility still centred on old address

    This bit is quite important. The two profiles need to be totally independent of each other other than the business name.

    GBP Custom Services: How Many Keyword Variations Are Worth Adding?

    I'd be wary of doing this. It looks very spammy in the same way adding all those keywords to your website looks spammy to both Google and your visitors. And I bet you could find hundreds more potential keywords - just adding 'near me' to all of those gives you 56. Having the primary categories...

    ChatGPT is unable to see client's Google Reviews?

    ChatGPT like many other AI tools uses an LLM. The LLM comprises data from millions of websites, documents and other source material. It's quite likely ChatGPT was blocked from scraping Google data. Which is a bit rich considering how Gemini has scraped date from everywhere else. Have you asked...

    Another 'No more ways to verify' issue

    Does this actually work? I can see all sorts of flaws to this method as it can be easily faked.
