A good resource on GMB troubleshooting step by step approach for low rankings or no rankings

[Ben Walsh]

Hey Guys,

Looking for a good resource I can pass to one of my guys that gives a good step by step guide on how to troubleshoot a GMB listing with either no rankings or very poor rankings in a geogrid. I already have the experts guide to Local SEO but can't see anything specifically that gives a more paint by numbers approach that you can hand off to someone to work through.

Any ideas?

Hey Ben,

If there is almost no ranking, these are generally the top reasons.

1. Are there filtering issues?
2. Do they have the right category?
3. Are they being overrun by spam?
4. Are there any issues with the site being indexed?

Hey Ben,

Here is a basic/intermediate article of common mistakes and problems. Not exactly what you're looking for but after analyzing hundreds of businesses, you'd be surprised at the simple mistakes that get made.

Joy, feel free to take this down if it violates guidelines.
