hi @fisicx I understand all that you are saying! We do have a website with Schema and it is completely optimized. It is also ranking well. My question is about Google Business Profile and its impact on Ai's like Chat and Gemini. I understand that you think GBP doesn't play a role in those...

Hey @fisicx Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I would love to hear if others also believe that Ai summaries are typically generated more from the website! Very interesting!

Excellent information. Thank you. Any thoughts on which GBP to focus on?

My main GBP for a client (Dentist) is the brand GBP, this is the listing we optimized and made sure there were industry directories and citations under the Brand. There is a practitioner listing but...it has only 3 reviews and isn't ranking at all. My co-worker feels the client should start...

I guess I amend my words. It seems to me that Google will keep track of this and while not necessarily a black mark, its noted. I would assume the suspension would also be noted under the user that caused the suspension. So my concern is more about having a suspended listing in my dashboard. I...

If it’s in my GBP dashboard… Maybe I’m wrong? But you can’t remove yourself from a suspended profile so it seems like a black mark.

I totally agree! Almost always left to fix things. My concern is in these days of Google suspensions. They freak me out. While, of course I can be the one to work on getting it unsuspended, I don’t like the idea of the Google black mark connected to my name.

Curious if anyone has been in a situation where a client allows another marketing company to manage their GBP listing. It doesn't happen often but when it does it makes me uncomfortable with fears of them doing something to get the listing suspended. Am I being overly protective or does anyone...

Appreciate it!

Hi Chad! Makes sense if you are running ads but if you aren't running ads, I think your check mark would not be visible. The suggestion above is that there is a benefit to getting verified and not even running and LSA campaign.

I have a client who is being told by another marketing professional that "getting verified for Local Search Ads will help you rank higher in organic search, AI driven search and appear more times in the local 3 pack even if you don't run LSA's" Basically saying the verification alone is a...

The latest communication I received from Bing support (my businesses have all disappeared from the dashboard). Maybe this will be helpful to others- it wasn't for me. Thank you for reaching out Bing places. Hope you are doing good and apologize for the inconvenience this issue has caused. As...

My Bing Dashboard is completely blank today! Anyone also seeing this?

That made me laugh! Thank you!

I did the chat thing too and after 2 hours I was #1 and then it said "we are finding a rep to chat with you". Nothing happened after that.. waited like that for another 2 hours. Thank you for the email. I will try and reach out there too. Hopefully at some point it all just gets fixed. I would...
