Thanks Darren! Always cool to hear from you and your expertise! Let us hope it goes well for them. Trust me, I have tought about the Whitespark service. I am in the agency space so the final call on that does fall under me but I will bring it up next time I can! It is very annoying and time...

Hi Local warriors! Here we are again fighting against the beast! So, recently, about 10 days ago, Google changed the name of the listing for one of the clients I managed. They are a PI firm in a very competitive space so I still have doubst if it was Google actually or a competitor. In any case...

HI everyone. I have been experiencing a weird issue in the past couple of months. I have a couple of client that provide plumbing services besides their HVAC, which for both of them is the main vertical of service for the company. Now, every time I try to add "plumber" as secondary category, the...

Yes, I totally get what you are saying. To me was unrealistic to think a Google rep will read through all that explanations and separated doc to put all together and such. Thanks for taking the time to put in the feedback!!

Hello fellow locals. I have a tricky situation here. I have a client which profile got suspended after a rush of changes were applied to the GBP, which included some sensitive information like website url, additional categories and phone number change as well, but the profile itself it is no...

Hi! Thank you so much for answering. This is the type of thing that makes this forum amazing. Yeah, that is what I thought and unfortunately, that ship already sailed as the client already went ahead and changed the address of their GBP to the new city. Verification is still pending but it...

So, I have been working with this client in the plumbing niche for over a year now and they were doing great with their GBP, which was a SAB. Despite our advice, they want it to try and verify their GBP in the city that we were targeting across the entire website/service landing pages with the...

Thanks for your quick replay!!. Unfortunately, I am bound by NDAs so I cannot really share that level of detail, even if is for this good cause. I could expand a little bit more on the overall issue and provide a bit more of context if you would like to know.

Hi people of good in the SEO! I am experiencing this issue with one of my clients in the plumbing industry. Even tough we were able to move the pin back to the client´s original location, we keep finding that it gets moved again and again to the same spot the spammers moved it first. Any...

Is it possible to verify a SAB business by using my home address, which is on an building complex? Like I live on the 4th floor, apartment 4C or whatever. Is it possible to use that to verify a business or it might be too problematic? My logic tells me that as long as you have all what you need...

Ahm, If by metro area you mean the statistic metropolitan areas stablished by de US I would say yes. Like, Kissimmee-Orlando-Sanford fl is a metropolitan area and both GBPs are somewhere in there.

I am working with a client that has an already very stablished GBP profile with over 3k reviews on a very competitive city such as Orlando. That GBP has the address visible as the client does provide services at their shop. As we are trying to expand, we register a DBA for the company with...

Hey JS, thank you taking the time to read all that and try to come up with a possible solution. I am not sure I understood correctly what you meant with your possible scenarios, like, the explanation behind it but I do understand that Google Maps limits for certain areas might as well not be how...

Hi everyone. Hope you guys are doing great. This is my issue: I am working with a business that has a physical shop at a location/area that it is part of the big main city, yet, when you search for that city name on Google, the area where the shop is it does not form part of what Google...

I have a project where I am already ranking for a given service with my pillar page that covers or talks about all the services provided. The ranking is not particularly high (6-7) position, but it is on the top ten and it is a money kw with high conversion intend. Obviously a cannibalization...
