Relevant for what? Some citations may have value, most don't. It all depends on your business. Domain Authority has never been an important metric.

All this means is clients don't understand how AI summaries work. You don't need more content, you just need to change how you present your content. You certainly don't need to use AI content creators.

It happened multiple times over a couple of weeks but has now stopped. If it were a bug it's a pretty major one and why just happening to me?

How? Why would changing your hours on your GBP affect the ranking of your website?

Doesn't appear to be a thing any more. Haven't seen it recently so it may well have been Google doing some testing. It was very weird.

Yes they are. It's probably just happenstance.

Yes, but @pawan.gill is talking about the ranking drop for their website not the GBP. A local search when the GBP shows you are closed is not going to push the organic ranking down onto page 2 as they describe. Something else is happening.

I'm a bit confused @pawan.gill You start by saying you have changed your hours on your GBP. But then talk about ranking on your webpages. The two are not connected. A little more explanation is needed.

Hasn't been GMB for years. It's now called GBP. And GEO and SEO doesn't apply. You can't 'rank' a GBP in the same way you can a website. All you can really do is make sure all the relevant details are correct and up to date and then collect reviews (which is really important)

It's a never ending problem and is unlikely to ever go away. For every one you close down two more will pop up for a different location. It's the same with fake reviews - there are millions of them and it's getting worst with AI autoposting.

Move to the area in which you want to operate. Or as @keyserholiday suggests, get a local office. The whole purpose of GBP is to promote local businesses where you are at the centre of your customer base. And whilst an SAB covers a greater area you really still need to be in the middle.

Don't use gmail as your primary email account. Get yourself a domain email - that way you no longer be reliant on Google,

Nobody knows. Google has it's own rules about the use of AI and may or may not penalize. That being said, you should never, ever, ever post AI generated content without first checking and editing. There will always be something needs adjusting and doing so could well destroy the watermarking...

Have you asked them what this hidden character is? Have you inspected the code to see if this character is visible? If not how do they know it's there? Google strips and sanitizes everything so I would be very surprised if there is a hidden character anywhere.

I'm seeing Google returning SERPS with a single result followed by the normal links to page 2,3, etc: I know this search isn't local but is this something Google is trialing (at least here in the UK)?
