Thanks Phil! I'll try those emails. I might have to just move on and let those listings be.

I haven't looked at our listings on Yellowpages in a while, and due to some former hands who constantly changed addresses and didn't clean up the citations we have a handful of erroneous listings to fix. And YP just continues to be a pain as the "Claim Your Listing" form does nothing but send...

I'm still experiencing indexing issues the last several weeks since the July 15th report about it on SER. Any new or updated landing pages on our site were typically recrawled and indexed almost within a day. Lately, it's taken over a week at the longest. Not only that, pages that I changed the...

Thank you, celina! I appreciate your insight into this issue and I'm relieved to know I shouldn't worry over it.

I recently noticed a bump in referring domains on our site and went to check them out on AHREFS only to discover these particular set of domains all linking to one of our target pages. They are content links on really badly written articles using anchor texts not at all related to the pages they...

Hi Colan, I can share that the keywords I'm referring to are personal injury lawyer and car accident lawyer. Any variation of those keywords, whether plural or even adding a location + keyword, the personal injury keywords are all ranking for the car accident lawyer page. I went as far as...

Hi all, I'm at my wits' end with this problem I'm having and thought I'd see if anyone can provide some insights or possible solutions. I recently updated and better optimized two topically different (but in the same industry) pages for the purpose of ranking them for their own separate...

Thank you all for the insight. Ben and Colan, I'll try a redressal submission and at least have Google take a little look-see. While they do have a website with, of course, their DBA name everywhere on it, their GMB listing is devoid of any photos of their actual office, inside and out, so no...

I noticed on one of my keyword researches that a business ranking on the first page of locals in my area has as their title the same exact search term I was researching. I mean it's just the search term, for example "New York Uber Accident Lawyer." So, I go to this business's website and they...

Hi all, As I'm filling out my GMB listing, under Service Areas, is it better to input the individual cities I service (or go as far as to do business), or would it be equally effective for my listing in locals if I input just the county as a general catch-all area that I service?

Just an update to the outcome of my GMB spam report against a law firm I suspected of using some VOs from two weeks ago. One of their LA offices, which I made the case was likely a VO and not some satellite office, that I caught having a duplicate listing as well only had the duplicate removed...

Thank you, Ben! Will do.

Thanks, Phil! Oh, then you definitely know about the rampant issue of virtual offices in the SoCal area. It's just that short of physically paying a visit to these locations can we really have proof whether they are legit offices or empty spaces.

So, I don’t know if this is a thing in certain industries when companies create multiple GMB listings, but I noticed this from a competitor in my local area in DTLA that basically used the same interior photos on one of their GMB listings on another listing, thinking no one will notice I...

Hi JoshuaMackens! Thanks for your input. You can't update either your business name or address actually. Their support does appear to be non-existent because I've been trying for months now and there are no actions taken. Which means we can't correct outdated NAP when we need to and that's a bit...
