Can you explain a little more about this please? Maybe an example of what should be avoided and how it should be done properly?

If it’s OK I would like to add onto this thread instead of starting something new, since my question is directly related… I am an electrician. Every couple weeks I have to go into GBP and edit my services to remove the ones that Google automatically adds that have absolutely nothing to do with...

About 13 years ago I made a website for my company. There was only five pages and one of them was a page which I posted pictures of my work, the URL was /gallery.php A couple years later I built a new website without a gallery page so I did a 301 redirect of that gallery page to a different...

I didn’t know that review ransoming was a thing. At least this should be pretty easy to get Google to remove.

That is very strange. I saw the negative reviews yesterday when he posted this and now that I click on the link I see even more reviews left since yesterday. Maybe it’s because you’re across the pond that you’re seeing something different than us over here?

Does filling out the redressal form work anymore? I remember having good luck with that years ago but then it seemed to stop working completely.

Have you seen evidence of Google not ranking this anymore? It has always worked for me and still does. When searching from one of the many towns that my business services, that town based landing page ranks pretty well. I currently track customers to those landing pages and many of the...

The OP said he has one location so he doesn’t have a physical office in all the different towns he wants to advertise to. Town based landing pages could work without a physical location in that town and a separate Google business profile.

Having a list of the towns that you want to come up in doesn’t do too much in itself. But if each one of those towns in the list is a link to a landing page with unique content about your services in that town, then that will help. Unique content about the legal services that you offer as well...

I am an electrical contractor, I used to do all different types of residential electrical work and I used those various services to add keywords and content on the various pages of my website. But now I only install electric vehicle chargers. That is the only job that I do and it’s all I want to...

I am an electrical contractor and I have had a website up for over a decade. The website consists of a few heading pages: homepage, about us, service area, services, pricing, contact. Then I have 10 pages focused on different services that my company performs, then an additional 22 landing...

From my understanding, Google doesn’t really do much about name changing. There are business profiles who have been adding long lines of spammy keywords to their business name for years. Every time I suggest an edit it immediately gets changed back, but then they will change it to add the...

Thanks! I know that Google is much stricter now on verification. I was wondering if there’s something we could do to signal to Google that they need to re-verify a listing? For example, there are still listings put up by referral companies for completely fake companies that don’t exist at...

You’re saying that services have no effect on ranking whatsoever even when someone is searching for something specific? Even if Google is recommending those services?

I have an electrical contracting company and Google keeps suggesting services that my company does not perform. Sometimes I remember to go in there every week and not approve them. Other times I forget and then I have to go in and delete them after they were automatically approved. Now I’m...
