Hi, a site I'm working on has a sitewide section where their specialties are broken out into 12 tiles. Right now the tiles just have the specialty name, but I'd like to include a small blurb describing the specialty if possible. However, at 1 or 2 sentences per tile for 12 tiles, is that going...

Update: Just copied the ads and launched some fresh ones. The idea being that now that Google Ads and GSC are linked, maybe they'll pass through easier. As of now they are approved. Fingers crossed it holds. I still find it odd (and crazy-making) that these can go back to disapproved even after...

Hi, has anyone been able to successfully have CallRail numbers in the Call Only ads? In the past I would have to temporarily put the tracking number on the site just to get the ad approved, but that's not even working anymore. It'll be approved for a day or two, then it will go back to...

You know how as long as you include the actual number as the secondary number, using a tracking number as your primary won't hurt your Google My Business listings? How about for other directory listings? Is it okay to use tracking numbers on those and include the actual number as a secondary...

THANK YOU. My brain is melting over all this and am so grateful somebody's on top of it. Going to check that out immediately ...

That is both super interesting and super disturbing. Thanks for chiming in.

Our initial concern was that GSC and/or GA could be throwing in extra traffic from GMB, but from what I gather this is not the case. And, of course, to keep tagging.

Thanks guys! Somebody on our team (way better with analysis than I ) was seeing all kinds of wacky stuff in GSC & GA. All of this info really helps and REALLY makes me glad we're already tagging GMB.

Hi guys - I *think* I have a handle on this, but want to make sure: - In Google Search Console, impressions from Google My Business are counted as google/organic unless you create your own UTM parameters, correct? - The same applies in Google Analytics, right? Un-tagged GMB traffic would show...

Hi, I am working on a Service Area Business listing and notice that there's no longer the option to Hide the address. Now you must Clear the address. Does this achieve the same purpose? Is the location of the business still factored when ranking if you have cleared the address? This is...

But to Yan's point, it's not the primary, ie the address you would see on legal papers.

Yeah, it's not ineligible. I was curious of the ranking impact with the addresses hidden either way. But I'm guessing even with the address hidden, it's taken into account for this proximity signal.

Thanks Colan. The address in mind is actually a place where work takes place during business hours with at least one staffed employee at any given time, but I guess you're saying it also has to match up with other things like legal filings?

Hi, I'm working with a client with an SAB - the address is hidden and he's targeting a nearby service area (which he has designated in the GMB listing's backend). The current address is rural & adjacent to the city he's targeting, and he is considering updating this to his business partner's...

OOh - good one. I'll check for that too. Thanks!
