But when I do that search @keyserholiday I get zero results:

If revising the content with significant updates then changing the date can help. But so can putting the date in the content next to the updated content can also work. Another technique that can work is leaving the old content in place but then create a whole new page with the updates. You link...

The problem here is dilution. Google looks at the whole package and will be expecting bathroom remodelling to be predominate on the GBP, website, social media, directories and everywhere else. If you have a whole bunch of other quite valid services on everything except the profile there will be...

Google will eventually remove those old dead pages from the index. Sometimes it happens quickly, sometimes it can take months - especially if there are any inbound links to the page. And what you see is often the result of your search history. The schema has zero effect on indexing and...

Are they from Google or the business owner? The only requests I ever get to leave a review are from the business owner. If from Google it is because you have some setting enabled?

If they are closed they aren't serving customers so there can't be any reviews or photos to submit. One would hope Google understands what temporarily closed means. Many small businesses have annual breaks so this is a logical way to show the status.

Focus on the service pages not the homepage. Each service page should fully detail the service. You then link to case studies of work you have done in each location - with lots of images. This will give Google lots of indexable content and someone looking for deck staining in a zip code or...

No idea. It all depends on content, internal navigation, local searches, time of day, browser and device and a million other things. Do some testing. Split testing is best. If you can't do that then run each for a month and see what happens.

The person looking at your GBP is expecting a bathroom remodeler. Which means they really want to go to a website (not webpage) with that service. I know your business provides other services but that's not what your GBP is promoting. It's almost as if you need two websites: one for bathroom...

Disappeared here in the UK as well

I remember reading a while back about a bunch of service areas all within a relatively small radius. After much argument someone looked on the map and realised they were islands. The whole concept of driving and distance was null and void. Can't recall the outcome but the same could apply to...

2 hours in London could be 20 miles. Out in the countryside this could be 100 miles. And words on the support page are: 'shouldn't be'. Which is Google suggesting there is no hard rule about this.

Don't do it! If your client isn't prepared to properly respond to reviews then do nothing. AI responses stand out like a sore thumb and add nothing of value. Even worse when the AI mangles the response and publishes something that has no connection to the actual review.

It's why many now call this AI slop. Google has slurped everything it can find about a business and regurgitates regardless of quality and accuracy. I suspect once the SEO sausage factories discover the PR trick they will spam everything to death resulting in even more AI slop. Apologies for...

The prime driver is value added. How does this location page add value? Would it be useful for someone searching for a particular service in that location? Are there any citations, referrals, testimonials, case studies and so on supporting the services in this location? It may mean you need a...
