We're looking to do a retargeting ad campaign with Facebook and learned the pixel applied to our site is firing in at least one or two other off-brand sites. Facebook appears to not have specialists any longer to guide you so the marketing expert advised we take the current pixel off our site...

Thank you for touching base. I'm glad you're making some headway. Yes, please keep me posted on progress.

Please be advised that Google may not pull review and sometimes goes against their own code and standards. We have a hamburger restaurant that was "reviewed" by a guest who mentioned that our GM was such a spirited person that she gave free lapdances for the kids. Hamburger restaurant and...

This happened with two of our restaurants at the same location. Listings were merged then separated. Once separated, we noticed listings were cross pollinated with 90% of the reviews on the incorrect page of the other restaurants. Our local rankings tanked and the main, flagship restaurant could...

Ah yes, the ole "link juice." I get it. We'll definitely consider that option due to necessity. Thanks

Again, thanks so much for your guidance Phil. Since we have 25 locations, a NAP to Ivars.com footer could be bulky. Would it make sense to link our GMB listings to our locations page instead (ALL LOCATIONS), or since Ivars.com is the lead landing page, that's where it should reside? Thanks!

This has been an issue with our restaurants not being found locally, but ours was "broken" when listings merged and were separated. Cross pollination of listing ranked a closer restaurant higher and we can only be found via name and address, but no one searches that way. Signed into MOZ local to...

Thanks for your insight. Sorry, I was out all last week so catching up now. From a local standpoint, guests cannot find Ivar's Mukilteo Landing within the Seattle market so something has affected our local ranking or authority (again, I think the merge of the Ivar's Mukilteo Landing and Ivar's...

Has anyone run into an issue of business listings that were merged, that shouldn't have been, then split just to learn that one of the listings (locations) does not show on Search (Knowledge Panel) or Map searching by exact proper name? Example: Search for Ivar's Salmon House, with or without...

There's no bulk listing, unless it came out within a few weeks ago. You can only claim 10 individual businesses, per business account. Therefore, a larger chain establishment would need multiple signs in credentials (we have three, unfortunately). They have increase communication and ad tools so...

Thanks for your insights. Both Ivar's Mukilteo Landing (full service) and Ivar's Fish Bar are established businesses having been in business since the 90s. The full service unit closed for 3-months due to COVID. At various points in time, Google merged the two because they use the same address...

We own a few restaurants that share the same address, but have different names. One particular restaurant, Ivar's Mukilteo Landing, is constantly not being listed under Google KP or Maps. We area a long, established business and within last 6 months, this has been an issue. The other restaurant...

This has happened to us on many occasions since we have two businesses at the same address but no defining suite number so Google pulls the listing or merges with another sister property. We are finally in the early stages to remedy that with a including verified US Post Office approved suite...

Even if you had a storefront or something visible for this secondary business with the same address, please know that Google may eventually pull/de-list one as a dupe, or merge the two. We have three addresses with two distinct businesses within same address (a full service restaurant and a...

Thanks for the insight Ben!
