Thanks for the replies .....its a very minimalist set of signals Google takes from the GMB ....My problem is the same as we all have how to rank across multiple related business areas when the 3 Pack is dominated by those with the "right" primary category for that search....its each for your...

Hello Joy I think we are in agreement its a question of language. AS IN "The 3 pack has a surprisingly narrow range of DIRECT RANKING FACTORS and all these other "techniques" only have INDIRECT EFFECTS on the 3 pack via their 1. impact on organic search OR via 2. secondary GMB engagement...

I get where you are coming from but if I may give you two PHYSICAL ACTUAL counter tests. Admittedly indirect 1. famous Matthew Woodward test showing EXFIL absolutely has a small effect in organic search rankings using identical sites where the one with Exfil photo data ranked above other r...

I am expressing this in the simplest terms even though I know that makes it kind of simplistic but there we are 1. Dealing just with the GMB profile. 2. If a really great description SCORES YOU 10 POINTS re getting you in the 3 pack for your target keywords what does a really great services...

Yup I got mine 30 minutes later ...after being added as a administrator ..I think was just random noise.

Actually from a ranking point of view i am wondering how important services are ....I notice that they are not in the "under review" category ...wondering if that means are only a very weak ranking factor. Bit of a stretch I know

what ? ...............you like my message or you like the idea of charging ..I am hoping the former!

Thats wonderful ..........lots of forums charge for that like BHW ....not that I am trying to encourage you

I know BUT .these are existing clients or ones I have just taken on. They already have GMBs and I am tweaking ...plus adding lots of content to their GMBs ..its actually fine for most parts of their GMB its just the top level parts which are locked for updates .......but I get your point

I think I explained or perhaps I did not ..I have clients queued for GMB work in several countries .......and yes I do know re their being a restricted service due to CV honest guv! ...BUT as we all know the restrictions are not consistent across the GMB profille and I suspect some are not...

I have got three GMBs (non essential businesses) I have basically got to re build and optimise over the next week or so....alas not the greatest time for this Currently I CAN edit 1. service areas 2. products 3. services 4.,pictures and 5.posts Currently I CANNOT edit ("under review" for...
