Hello all. It's Been a long time, I hope you're all faring well. While I may have been able to answer this all on my own at one time, I have been away from SEO for 1.5 years and need some guidance. I have a client who is "opening" as 2nd location about an hour from her 1st location. Both of...

I went through a few profiles today (automotive), and just turned things off and hit next where applicable and it returned to green. If you're in-house, I think you're fine if you understand it's just a ploy to get unaware owners to spend more money on ads. If you're an agency or subcontractor...

I went through all of our profiles around a year or so ago, and seeded every profile with relevant and pertinent questions (with answers). It was a bit of a heavy lift, just because different profiles require different information and a desire to not duplicate indo as well. But I am now...

That really sums it up. I think I've asked this in various ways in the past. The vendor seems sort of clueless about the why/how of it and I don't know how to explain it to them. To be clear I am talking about the section of our GBP pictured below. Thanks as always pros. I look forward to...

I know that at one time or another Google highly discouraged employees from leaving reviews about the business they work for. There were threats of GBP bans, website blacklisting etc. Now...I realize this may have been a bit sensationalized by my then-supervisor because of his own fears about...

I think its hard to be authoritative without one.

Here I was thinking I could be authoritative and people gotta bring @Greg Gifford into the fold :) Thanks for the insights pros!

Hey, thanks! we were just seeing it for the first time despite having thousands of reviews for our service centers. Pretty wild how the Goog works.

I have never seen these before, in the wild or anywhere else. Just noticed them this morning. Is anyone else seeing this? What industries? I'm in automotive....

I have always used 540x405 as best practice for image dimensions, but those sizes now seem to get the infamous "black bars" on either side of the picture. Was there an update to image sizes that I missed somewhere (it's very possible, theres been a lot of updates to GBP this quarter). Thank you...

Cool. Thanks, Phil.

I am fleshing out a landing page for our Corporate website that lists all of our locations on a single page. I am wondering - will the bots be able to parse what code is meant for each location etc? I am planning on dropping the associated scripts into specific <div></div> tags. I googled this...

@Phil Rozek thank you muchly! they didn't make that obvious or super intuitive. @keyserholiday We have 20 locations. I can see the dashboard to see the businesses, but I cant use it to review posts etc. It's really bumming me out.

Tried logging in today to post an offer and I cant figure out how to get to the dashboard, at all. Allllll of my metrics are back there. HELP! Is this universal?

thank you muchly.
