Keyserholiday, thank you!

Hi Keyserholiday, Quick question for you. My client has added a shop location in town, so we now have an address we can use. Would you still recommend starting a new GBP with this address or would you just add an address to the current GBP? I want to make sure that it doesn't revert back to...

Thank you very much! I'm going to move this direction and hope this fixes the issue. If I have any questions, I will be back.

Ok, if I do this, are their certain steps I should follow to make sure everything goes smoothly? They have 130 reviews that I need to make sure they would get transferred over. Do I create the new listing, then ask Google to transfer the reviews, then permanently close the old one once they...

I'm trying to get them to rank organically and their GBP. I'm going to try redoing some of their pages with better interlinking and also adding some citations and see if that might get us heading in the right direction. If that doesn't move the needle I will be back with more information...

They did move years ago from small town to the main town we are trying to optimize for. Unfortunately, their address is hidden since it is their home, so no way to get that moved without them getting an office in the main city. I'm going to look into the citations and see if that might help...

I'm at my wits end! I have a client in my local market that I have been working with for a couple years and they have done everything I have asked and yet I'm having a horrible time getting them to rank at all. They are a service based business in the tree service category. I built their...

Thank you very much for this information. We are working to try and get this all together before we appeal.

I have a client I just set up a new Google Business Profile for his service area business and it was immediately suspended when I submitted it. I believe the problem is that we are using his home address and his home is a brand new home and doesn't even show up on Google maps yet. Google is...

The reason for hiding the address is because my client doesn't serve clients at this address and it is home address, so he doesn't want everyone knowing where he lives. He is a service area business. Thanks for your feedback.

Hello, I'm looking for some advice on best steps to take in helping a new client get their GBP live. My client attempted to setup his new GBP on his own and set it up under his old address that is outside the area that he wants to optimize for. He is a service area business, so he hid his...

I'm hoping someone can help me with an issue one of my clients is having with his GBP. For 4 days straight now his business keeps getting marked as Permanently Closed. For four days straight now we have received an email from Google saying his business has been permanently closed and then ask...

Thank you Mike. Good information to know. I had never seen this, so it surprised me. I appreciate your feedback.

Hello, I'm seeing a very unique situation happening with GBP and Google Maps for a particular business category. What I am seeing the last couple days is that when I do a search for "private chef (city, state)" that it is bringing up only one business in that area now. It even changes my...

My client has received multiple negative reviews from a person who is harassing them, and he isn't a past client of theirs. They have never done any work for him. We have had a couple of the reviews removed for going against Google's guidelines, but as soon as they get removed he goes back on...
