    GBP Transfer Concerns

    This sounds like the client brought another bank and wants to rebrand. Really not sure what will happen. You might be OK but who knows what Google will do. Maybe raise a support ticket and ask.

    GBP Transfer Concerns

    Possibly. I'm not a GBP expert but I do know name changes are frowned upon. Works like this. Dodgy company A buys the profile of company B (with a good reputation). They change the name on the profile to Company A and gain a good reputation with all the reviews and so on. Or someone sets up a...

    GBP Transfer Concerns

    Get the transfer done first. Make sure the new owner has full control of the profile and able to post. Then look at doing the name change. But Google really doesn't like name changes as they are often the result of fraud. Not suggesting this is the case here but just how Google sees things...

    Don't change the name!

    Reviews from other professionals only option, but Google removing them now - help?

    But it's not been written by someone who did receive the service. Reciprocal backslapping by other professionals is against the TOS.

    Reviews from other professionals only option, but Google removing them now - help?

    The review has to be written by the recipient of the service. Not the person who provided the service. I'm not so sure there is a solution to this other than consider other marketing channels - which may bring in more business that relying on GBP.

    Using Claude to manage google business

    It might be amazing but all AI tools get it wrong. Use the tools but also monitor what changes they make. It's quite possible the AI agent will make a change that results in a suspension. So the best process is let the AI make a suggestion but you verify before it goes live.

    Homepage H1 for SAB Serving Two Large Markets: Phoenix + Tucson

    Home page should focus on the service not the locations. The page title, description, tagline, H1 and opening paragraph should all focus on the service. You then link to service area pages that have all the relevant information including images of the people and location. From this page you...

    Struggling with "Have AI Check Prices". No calls despite high map pack rank.

    Don't trust AI. In fact don't even trust Google. I've not heard anyone get good results from the AI check prices feature. I suspect there will be some niche businesses that have done well but the algo appears to be completely random. But.... I see your competitors open 24 hours. They also...

    A quick investigation into the new "About This Place" feature

    That does sort of make sense. If you are searching for Kindersley park one assumes you want specific information. A search for parks suggests you are looking for somewhere to go so the information will be different. I feel the hand of AI in this - as if they are trying to get people back to...

    Is Backlinks Still major ranking secret in 2026?

    Not really. There is some value in high quality referrals and citations but there are far better ways to rank a site.

    How Can I Remove a False Review from Someone Who Was Never a Patient?

    Has the surgeon replied to the review with details of the police review?

    Restoring legit deleted reviews?

    Maybe they were but the Google AI thing doesn't think so. Which is the problem. Editing the review may not help considering how old they are.

    Restoring legit deleted reviews?

    When I look at the first image (H2O plumbing) it looks contrived - almost fake. Nobody says things like 57% increase in leads. Maybe on a case study but clients just don't do this. Looking at the others and they do feel as if you wrote the words for them (apart from the Brittany review).
