The other problem I have is the business address on their business license is not on the pier but at their PO Box. I have bills for advertisements with their address, but they don't exactly need utilities other than fuel from the marina.

Good afternoon my fellow Local SEO savants. I have a local Business Listing that was live for over 4 years and collected over 500 local reviews for a parasailing operation. They are getting ready to open their 3rd location in Texas, and my client (who was not working with me at this time)...

Google is saying that there is a duplicate listing out there for one of my clients but I cannot find the other listing anywhere and nobody owns it. Here is the listing we have confirmed - it has been around for a very long time https://maps.app.goo.gl/b4dv6wazZNbkwfCZ9 We just got the listing...

I still have no remedy for this anywhere. This is beyond frustrating.

Update. They called me back and now my stuff is not orange and it is showing up OK. They do not have an answer as to what happened or how to avoid it, but at least it works for now.

I use a WP layout for my neighborhood pages.. It looks different and set up different than just a normal service page. You don't have to do it, but if you design the site with this in mind it looks very nice.

yeah, semantic search helps here. Queens, Queens, NY and Queens NYC will all pretty much be viewed as the same thing. I sometimes like going with splitting up my headings. H2: Kitchen and Bathroom Remodeling Service H3: Serving Queens, NY and surrounding Neighborhoods

day 3 and my suggestions still haven't been accepted. No traffic coming in this is not good. I guess I will fill out the GMB Complaint form.

Here is an example of a landing page that I built (I can share as the company has been sold and I no longer do work for them) https://www.bluechipexterminating.com/neighborhood-creve-coeur/ (Looking now at this, I would want this to be /neighborhood/creve-coeur-pest-control/ We built this...
