Hi All, Thank you for the kind words everyone. I really appreciate it. I have never done anything like this before and it was a lot more work than I anticipated. I'm trying to spread the word as organically as possible. If anyone has any tips on marketing an SEO Tool, please send them my way...

Good catch Joy. Yes, I was trying to state the tools I used didn't update so I created my own. Been a couple of long days getting this off the ground. Let me know if you have any feedback on the Tool. Thanks!

Hi All, I'm a big of using SERP Preview Tools when writing Meta tags, especially Title Tags. After the May 2016 Google SERP Update I noticed all the Tools I used were updated. I created a Preview Tool based on the new 600 pixel Google SERP. I just wanted to share and hope it could be of use...

Anyone recommend any good local store templates / builder. Basically I'm looking for something where you plug in NAP data and a nice Local landing page is created for a local business. Thanks in advance!

Hi Colan, Thanks for your feedback. I have spent countless time trying to get rid of the listings but it appears they are registered on some offline business directories and continue to find their way online. I'm afraid this will continue to happen and when they do, its always a bogus number...

Here is an interesting one I wanted some opinions on. I have a client who is a service area business with one main location but has several other offices in the same metro that are mainly just trucks that dispatch for that area. Only the main location has a phone number. The other locations do...

I'm wondering how people are taking advantage of the influx in "near me" in local searches? Has anyone tried adding "near me" into the copy or anything like that? Thanks in advance for any ideas! Jason

I have a potential client with locations in several countries (that speak different languages). Can you create an account with multiple countries in it? If so, could I create them all in English, will Google will adjust with the native language of the user? I could find next to nothing...

I have some clients requesting some different reports that focus only on Local Search. Anyone have any good Analytics Dashboards or reports that you use for Local Search that may be out of the box thinking? Thanks in advance!

Any idea how to close down duplicate listings? I have quite a few with incorrect address / phone so I cant even try to claim the listings and have it verified to shut down.

Thanks for the feedback. You can see them state "Note: Local businesses should not set logos as profile photos." https://support.google.com/business/answer/4791112?hl=en I understand how store front photos that works best for most businesses but that is totally out of the question for me. I...

I noticed that Google has a disclaimer that local businesses should not use a logo for their profile picture. I manage businesses with 500 plus locations and I have really no other option than to use their logo. I have been trying to get storefront photos of each location for some time but...

The Google Bulk Upload tool will be your biggest challenge. It's what some people would call "not good". Expect to have to go make many adjustments after the upload. Best of luck to you.

I manage several large business with 300-500 locations each. I'm interested in participating if this is still ongoing.

Very Very interesting. This could change my whole world. I work with several big brands with hundreds of locations. I had been using "Brand Name" on all the Google Local Listings. Now if I can use "Brand Name + Downtown + City" that could change everything. I am definitely intrigued but I'm not...
