    Is this against Googles TOS

    I have 3 offices in one state. It’s been standard procedure to ask for reviews for our oldest office. My thought was it’s best to have a bunch of reviews on a single page rather than spread out. I have LSA setup for two of the offices. Am I good to only run LSAs from our profile with the most...

    Is purchasing an existing company’s GBP a violation of Googles TOS?

    Their reviews are consistent. This answers my question. I was considering making an offer for their GBP only… Back to the drawing board.

    Is purchasing an existing company’s GBP a violation of Googles TOS?

    I’m planning on adding vent cleaning to our existing services. Is it possible to purchase a GBP along with equipment from an out of state company? We’re four hours from a major city with a dozen companies that have over 500 reviews. I have a warehouse that we could easily subdivide. If...

    Google LSA - Are total impressions an indicator of search volume/demand?

    We’re down too. Proximity doesn’t matter anymore and the top spot seems to be rotating.

    Online Conference Why Is Google Local Services Showing Ads For a Different Location When Customers Search For Our Company Name?

    @hvacman be careful. We had the same problem. After months of disputing leads and many calls with support about denied disputes all related to our customers calling us through LSA ad our ranking has dropped significantly. Now we don’t have to worry about disputing leads because we don’t get...

    Is The LSA Badge Disappearance and Ranking Drop a Widespread Glitch?

    We have two LSAs attached to two different GBPs. Same services. We made sure the service areas don’t overlap. Eventually we paused the one with only a couple reviews and expanded the service area for our main location. That was over 6 months ago. It’s been paused since then. Now that the badge...

    Is The LSA Badge Disappearance and Ranking Drop a Widespread Glitch?

    Nope. No policy violations and it’s turned on. We have a second location that only has a couple reviews. Turned that one in and it’s showing. I feel better seeing two others disappeared. Hopefully it’s a glitch and they’ll appear again. I was thinking Google may be trying to spread out the...

    Is The LSA Badge Disappearance and Ranking Drop a Widespread Glitch?

    For the past few weeks our ranking in LSA dropped. Yesterday the badge disappeared. Today the top two disappeared leaving only the two ads that’s been on the bottom for over a year. I called support yesterday and they assured me that it’s because I updated my budget and that I would be live...

    What is The Ideal Frequency For Posting on GBP?

    Yesterday a Google post showed up in the photo section. I just checked again so I could upload a picture and now it doesn’t show. Although the layout is different. There’s a carousel of pictures at the top.

    GBP Reviews For MedSpa Not Showing - Anyone Else Noticing This?

    Open a ticket with support. Send them screenshots of the reviews. It took about a week but they pushed ours live after calling me. It’s a known problem with the last review filter update.

    NEW Ready to Take Target Practice on Businesses with Fake Reviews?

    I’m pretty sure the Transparency Company has gone out of business. I hired them to fight spam in my area. A month later when I didn’t hear anything back I was told they were going to stop billing me until I had the report and was satisfied with services. Curtis said he would do the report...

    Scheduling posts for multiple locations?

    I don’t remember the names but they posted to multiple social media accounts. They just didn’t have the function to post to two of the same.
