@keyserholiday. I agree with everything you said. I personally have never seen KW in reviews have a ranking component. I have seen a company lose all their reviews in a competitive niche and not loose any rankings though.

This wonderful blog thank you for your time and insights @JoyHawkins . If I am in spot 1when bidding on KW “pest Control Dallas” will I get top map google ad spot for anyone she searches for “pest control” in Dallas, Or will my clients need to still use the long tail version “Pest...

I am new to pay ads and only am interested in the map section. Munderstanding is you cannot separate paid organic search from map search? After turning local extensions on: Is it the highest overall bidder for all ad spend in a given radius that also recieves google guaranteed map...

I am new to paid ads. I was against them for the longest time till the vicinity update. I would like to only advertise in the map section not in paid search. I am google guaranteed for LSA and awhile back, I was fortunate to be fast and acquire the google guaranteed map badge for $50...

I would not focus on the reviews as not a ranking factor. The hvac receiving those fake reviews will look terrible to their clients when all those get removed by a google sweep. Every 6 months or so during a google update google will sweep the fake reviews and companies involved...

That’s why it’s important to monitor your niche. If uncle joe 3 states over gets a postcard it’s not hard to verify. There’s no direct solution for paying a stranger to receive a postcard. But, it’s easy to edit the map in seconds while they waste many hours and money setting up...

I personally made a trusted map editing gmail account. Over a few months, I looked for high spam niches in my local area. Next I made edits to listings violating Google guidelines. Now that my account is trusted, I can suggest map edits usually they all get approved within a...

I love Ahrefs, only tool I use. Since every niche has different ranking factors. Ahrefs makes same niche company side by side comparisons that allow for learning that would not otherwise be possible. From top ranking company in my niche. I learned the value of City pages...

Your city pages will rank surprisingly well since your already ranking at the top in search. I would still only use one GBP unless your service area is expanding 50 miles or greater in radius.

Simplify your question as SEO encyclopedias would be needed to answer this. . Example: How to evaluate the weight of backlinks this is fun to answer and DA is not relevant and easily manipulated. Do not buy backlinks best case scenario you will lose money and learn how to use your...

I love it. This was a great find for local Seo. Backlinks are getting diluted with new ranking factors but, local links still pack a huge ranking punch.

Organic search ranking factors like backlinks have no impact on GBP rankings. Reviews are not a direct ranking factor at least not after 20-30 depending on niche. They do help dramatically with CTR. Map ranking offsite factors including user signals dramatically impact map...

Great advice Colan. I would recommend looking to use a KW in your business name that none of your competitors are using. When a searcher inputs this KW you’ll be on top of map section for a distance probably far greater than your actual service area.
