There seem to be a few services for lawyers where they can pay for content for their blogs, without realising the issue of duplicate content. You may not allowed to rewrite this based on the agreement they have with the people producing the content.

I have a client with 3 businesses all SAB and using the same address (all with different names, different websites and different phone numbers). Two of the listings are no longer showing up in search (7 Sep was the last date they generated traffic) when you search for the business name. The...

Thanks so much, appreciate your reply.

I wonder if anyone has seen this before, I am in Australia and when I search for Carmel Distillery, I get a Google Maps result as normal and then 2 seconds later the map changes to a grey box and when I zoom out it's in the wrong part of Australia (not the centre of Australia as I know this was...

Thanks for the reply :-) I think user intent likely comes into play as well. It's interesting as when I searched for "Swan Valley" most people going there would be going to a winery, brewery or restaurant and these are the main locations that show up for this search term. If I search for my...

When I search for a location and zoom in (and out) on Google Maps, I can see different places appear but how do Google decide who to show when you first land on the maps. My first thought it is the popularity of the place? I don't think it's reviewed as this seems to be inconsistent with who...

Thanks so much for the reply, really appreciate that.

I had a question about the Services that Google like to add to the Business Profile based on the content of a website. I had created 5 services myself with a description for each service but Google has added about 30+ services for me, they are mostly relevant but there is also a fair amount of...

Thanks for this, I think looking at it again, it's business categories that show up on Google Maps (like hotels, restaurants, attractions, etc) like general things that someone on a trip somewhere might be interested in. Thanks for the info re:branded pins as that is a pretty relevant solution...

Someone asked me this recently and I don't know the answer and I've always wondered this too!! You know when you're driving and using an app like Google Maps or Waze and as you're going to your destination, location markers with business names will pop up? Why does it do that for some...

Yes actually I think they might have had a suspension, I will see if I can do this. Thanks for your help.

There isn't a CID I don't think. This is the link straight to Google Maps - Metro Motorcycle Training - Motorbike Lessons & Motorcycle Training Willagee Thanks for your help.

I have this same issue, I have never seen this happen before. The above advice didn't show me any other options. Very strange!

I am trying to claim a Google My Business listing for a client but there is no option to click on "Own this business" to be able to get access. I also tried to set-up a new listing to claim the listing that way and the business didn't come up there either. Has anyone else seen this happen...
