Makes a lot of sense @Colan Nielsen thanks. Yes, removed all instances of Milton a couple months ago from service pages. But some blog posts mention it. Remove from blog posts too?

Not yet, the website often mentions "Halton Region" and not the cities by name. There may be some mentions spread out, but sparse. Do you recommend removing those names @Colan Nielsen ?

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is how to not rank in GMB in a specific city @Colan Nielsen

Thanks Colan. Very helpful article as well. The conundrum is this. Since you're in Toronto, I can use the actual city names. The business address is in Burlington. They sometimes show in Oakville's 3pack as well as Milton's 3pack. The leads coming in from Milton have been extremely bad, costing...

All things equal, if New York City is removed from "Service Areas" in GMB, will a previously 3 pack ranking business in NYC now no longer show to searchers in NYC?

Thanks so much guys! That definitely helps!

Hi guys, We have two locations of a business. One in a "Greater" city area, and the other in another town. I wanted to know what the radius of searches normally is. There shouldn't be an overlap considering the distance between the locations is about 103kms. But we want to inform our paid...

Not new. This has been going on a lot over the past few months. Perfectly normal above board accounts and BMs are getting shutdown. Request for reviews are also getting denied. There are tons of agencies and individuals who are suffering with these ad-hoc account suspensions seemingly...

No, not just you. That's how they've been set up. You have to realize most companies have different ways of operating based on founders with different backgrounds. They operate differently and refer to it as a "software". CallRail on the other hand has the new age, startup tempo and that...

That sucks. People have a free card to say whatever they want, competitors will also have a free run and all the business can do is "Thanks for your feedback!"?

Here's a situation: ABC Plumbing in Small Town, Ontario shows up for some keywords in the 3 pack within Small Town, Ontario and some other small towns around it. But when you go to other towns in Ontario and search for the same keywords, the competitors show up in the 3 pack and ABC Plumbing...

Ah, thanks @EfrenCP and @Colan Nielsen!

I see so many such websites. Some of them even directories with little to no stats, and little to no backlinks, hardly any quality content, badly designed website etc that rank #1. Gave up trying to understand what they do that got them rank #1.

To elaborate, I mean isn't the point of NAP to be identical across the internet? So if most of the citations say 1800-111-2222, and then the GMB number shows 1855-999-8888... isn't that bad?

Nice @Dan Foland! Slightly off-topic, but .. having a call tracking number specifically for GMB, isn't that against the whole NAP thing?
