ETA: a duplicate GBP was created in the midst of the suspension with a different gmail account, using same business name, which was just successfully deleted on 4/10 thanks to @keyserholiday 🙏

Working on a GBP in need of TLC. Things that need to be added/updated: website link is currently http, would like to change to https version. Worth it? add phone number add secondary categories add services add products add description add opening date update business hours add photos and...

I am working with a business who has a competitor with full keyword stuffed business name on GBP. Sign on door of physical location does not have business name, registered business name with state does not match GBP business name, and no DBA filed. What is current best process/steps to take to...

ok thank you so much. you are a lifesaver! pop up at the end says " Profile content and managers removed The business and some basic information will still appear on Search and Maps"

should "Mark Your Business as Permanently Closed" toggled be on or off?

thank you so much. Yes, related to the Reddit post. I replied on there, but will also reply here in case it helps someone else. Yes, I do have access to the email address that created it by accident. So I log in to that email and go into Business Profile Settings-> Remove Business Profile->...

I have a client who accidentally created a GBP with same business name and website as her main GBP, using a different gmail account. What is best way to delete this duplicate GBP? It has no reviews, no address, no phone number. Both GBP's are Verified according to this tool...

did you get any clarity on this? or run any testing? I am in the same situation. not sure if homepage or service page of my main service should be the GBP website link.

ok thank you. I was mainly wondering if the descriptions have any effect on rankings. A competitor of mine is owning ranking and has quite a few descriptions, so I was thinking there was some effect. All keywords on linked webpage are the same, backlinks same, etc. Im just trying to crack Maps...

do you think services and their descriptions matter in GBP?

I am analyzing a GBP competitor that is doing better than me. One thing that is glaring to me is the amount of services listed vs my GBP. Competitor has 125 services listed on their GBP. Many are just different word variations of the same type of service. Competitor also has 1 primary category...

For a SAB that does not show an address on GBP, when they build citations, are they also leaving an address off?

I have a SAB and now have a physical address I can use on my GBP. But I have been only reading non-stop about GBP's getting suspended left and right just for changing address. Do you think its too dicey right now with Google? Just seems like an especially volatile time right now. Thoughts?

thank you! And do you find all bets are off for service area GBP's though? and I also thought the same about How many competitors are in the area, and How close they are to their nearest competitor- but in Sterling Sky's blog post screenshots, one is a realtor and one is a lawyer. Which are...

I always thought GBP's could not rank well farther out from their business location. You usually see the better rankings clustered around the business' actual location, and then rankings drop off the farther out you go. But then I was just reading Sterling Sky/Joy Hawkins' blog post from...
