Maybe people aren't searching for your target keywords. You need to look at a far bigger set of keywords. It's possible you need to target hundreds of keywords each of which will generate a couple of leads. Consider also your website needs a lot of work - it's not helping your business. And...

So is their only real option to use the old domain and rebrand?

Get the domain accepted and then put the 301 back. It's also possible the 301 hasn't been done correctly and they have just a single redirect (rather than to each page/post).

It all depends on how good you are at marketing. I've had 60%+ on Google ads for a very targeted campaign. I've had poor CTR on a focus keyword but excellent conversions on a long tail. If you can get in the mappack, be top in the organics and be running adverts your combined CTR can be...

GBP and website are not the same. Acceptance by one does not mean acceptance by the other. It's quite possible Google has looked at the new website and isn't happy with one of the items @keyserholiday suggested or some other reason. Because you have set up the 301 it's suggesting the old...

It appears because it has been published somewhere. Doesn't need to even be on the website. It could come from a directory, linkedin, social media or somewhere else. As suggested, find the source and remove the number.

I stopped using precise locations in my main page titles, headers and introductory paragraph. I properly describe the purpose of the page and service or product on offer and don't worry about the number of characters in the title. In the footer and other suitable places I tell the reader (and...

It there a website for the business? Are you incorporated? Is there signage outside? Do you have a number someone can call? What evidence are you providing Google that this is a real and legitimate business?

This is Google AI thinking it knows best. Expect to see this become prevalent.

Yes you can. But I doubt it will help with local SEO (which it what was asked) as Google will just ignore the markup. Reviews in the snippet come from external sources.

Both will give you approximate figures but are unlikely to be 100% correct. Use the data to look at trends rather than absolutes. The only 100% accurate data would be the server stats. But they can be difficult to interpret.

Your SEO guy is wrong. Every page is a landing page. If people are landing on this blog posts it's because they want your services. Does it matter how they get on the site? All you want is the lead. In any case, within seconds of landing on the page you have a pop up offering a discount if I...

Yes, because that's how things work - Google is displaying the best answers to the search query. However, does it really matter? If the traffic is landing on the blog post and you have all the necessary calls to action in place you will be getting lots of leads. You have a number of posts...

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.
