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

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 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...

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

There was another thread about verification using a photo. I suspect Google is trying different methods of verification to fix the dreadful mess they have got themselves into.

Photos can be easily faked and enhanced (including the EXIF data). I'm not convinced this is going to become mainstream.

A complete waste of time. That sort of activity has been pointless for many years. Sack your SEO (they are stealing your money) and find some who understand marketing.

As I said, Google knows everything. In any case, rank tracking has never been very accurate. At best you can look at trends, hoping to know actual rank of anything is nigh on impossible.

Google can only index words. Which means having the title of the site and your phone number as an image fails at the first hurdle. You then have the words 'call now' followed by 'book now'. The two do not match. Google (and people) won't know what to do. When I look at your locations pages It...

Wow! There is a lot to unpack there. Without seeing the website isn't not really possible to answer your questions. Updating pages may help but it may also hinder things. It's not the number of pages. You can rank well across a range of keywords with just a few pages if you target niche...

What do you mean when you say the citations haven't been indexed? Are you saying the source (directory or otherwise) hasn't been indexed by Google. If so how are you checking? And your SEO is talking rubbish. I do hope you aren't paying them anything for their advice.

The LLM has got that old data in the system and it's unlikely to get resolved. You can make sure there is nothing indexable anywhere (which could mean trawling through hundreds of directories , reports, invoices, pdfs and anything else and hope at some point in the future the LLM is updated. But...

I'd drop the first and just keep the second. But even the second is overly complicated. You really don't need most of those entries. For example you have the FAQ page type when it's not an FAQ page. The schema spec suggests this should be a separate webpage.

But did you use Canva to create an image for the post - which is what @chrisdx22 was asking. And how many people even use AI mode? Stats suggest it's a tiny percentage. Furthermore, I would suspect most clients in Astoria already have their preferred eyebrow tinting studio. When you look at...

Yes, lots. But this is more about organic ranking than ranking your GBP. Your category pages are key as they are gateway to the posts. You need to categorize by location and service with lots of interlinking. It not just something you do - it needs careful planning and a real skill in weaving a...
