    Vicinity Update Correction - March 2022

    Free Chrome Extension for viewing GMB Categories

    This is cool! Thanks for sharing. Does it show the categories in the order the business has them selected (i.e. primary category is listed first in the extension tool)? Thanks again. Well done! Sherry

    Adding "Teletherapy" to mental health practice GMB name?

    Overall I like "Thrive Psychotherapy - Teletherapy Available" the best, but the question is: will her customers know what "Teletherapy" means or should you just say "Phone Consultations Available" or if she's doing video change it to "Private One-On-One Video Sessions Available" Just a thought...

    Google Ranks Fake Business Listings

    @zaskar, I know it can seem frustrating, but I wouldn't recommend changing your name for the sake of ranking higher on Google. (I had a client do that and it totally backfired on them.) Stick to what you're doing. Over time it should shake out. Sherry Bonelli www.BrightLocal.com
