Hi folks, I'm an in-house local SEO at an enterprise business with several hundred locations, and I'm looking for citation management services to help us with Apple Maps and Bing specifically through APIs. We're likely going to need to RFP so I need a couple of options. I've talked to Whitespark...

Hi, this has continued happening with me. The COVID-19 info URLs and the Virtual Care URLs get changed for a handful of locations, no matter how many times I change it back. So annoying! Has anyone had success getting it to work or is it just a matter of doing it over again until it sticks?

Thank heaven, these are gone now! Hopefully they did not get the results they wanted from that test :)

Following up on this, I got a response from this email and i was able to get the help i needed (eventually). Thanks for the tip!

I haven't done this specifically, but I'm familar with this branding strategy and i've worked on similar situations in healthcare where we have different primary care offerings in the same building. In my understanding the business strategy here to target to different travellers while sharing...

Have you thought of responding to the spam reviews and politely pointing out that you believe they are competitor spam, and directing people to a testimonials page or something? I don't know whether this would impact Google's likelihood to remove them. While not a perfect solution it could be...

I second this. Perhaps it's by user but I do not have "contact" link anywhere on the support page.

Regarding UTMs - correct me if i'm wrong, but maps traffic would have maps.apple.com as a referrer, and I can't imagine there would be any other traffic coming from that URL.

It's easy enough to get, but hard to get rid of! Has anyone in the healthcare vertical had trouble getting rid of it for locations that do not offer online care. For example, there is no virtual care for dialysis or same day surgery. But Google will crawl our website and add it, and selecting...

Has anyone noticed snippets like the one below appearing in the local panel? I've started noticing snippets from Solv Health in the local panel for urgent care centers. Haven't see any in other verticals. It looks like Solv is pretty specific to the urgent care space. Personally, I hope this...

Sent them an email, thanks for the tip! I'll let you know if it works.

Yep, that's the one i've been trying. I just hold all day on chat until they disconnect me at closing time (7:00).

Yep, it's for local. I agree that their support is usually very good - but currently, it's simply impossible to get through. I basically gave up after several days of logging on early in the morning, holding all day, and getting disconnected at closing time.

I'm sure we all have experienced our fair share of support challenges and I know the teams are doing their best to navigate through these tough times. Still, while I have been able to get through to Google with a little patience I have had zero luck with Bing - and I have some fairly important...

In most of the cases I appended by approved brand to the beginning, but i was able to get around this for some locations using bulk upload.
