Hi there

I have a client who has existing GBP and he don't use that GBP now. He wants to use the same GBP using the new Business information. The GBP created with the same industry.

Now if I edit the GBP and set-up with the new Business information like new website, new address, new phone number and other info, will it affect in future by Google or something else?

Please let me know. Thanks

Hi to all,

I manage a Google Business Profile for my client's business in the UAE, but it seems someone has taken unauthorized control of the account. They’ve changed everything except the physical address, including the business name, category, and photos. Even the pictures I uploaded are gone, and I’ve been removed as the manager, so I can’t access the profile anymore.

This is the first time I faced such kind of hijacking issue. However, when I search for the business name, the profile still shows up with all our past reviews intact. How can I regain control of the profile that’s been hijacked and changed to suit someone else’s needs?

What steps should I take to recover the account as quickly as possible?

Thank you,
Atul

Hi everyone, I’m working on local SEO for a business that offers multiple services across several locations. I’m trying to figure out the best way to structure the service + location pages. Should I create separate pages for each service in each location? For example:

• Landscape Installation Tampa
• Sod Installation Tampa
• Landscape Design Tampa
• Irrigation Services Tampa
• Landscape Installation Orlando
• Sod Installation Orlando
  …and so on.

Or is it better to combine services into one page per location (e.g., "Landscaping Services Tampa")? What’s the most effective strategy to improve local SEO and rank well for multiple services and locations? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I found some GBP left in my area, and it fits my category. This is without a telephone number, without a website, without reviews. Can I claim it using one account?

I just joined, want to know how to remove negative reviews. Do you do it yourself, use special tools, or just report? Thank You.

A moving company owner is interested in new territory around Kentucky. He currently has one office and one google business profile. He is looking to get more business further out, and I was wondering what best practices would be on this. I'm sure I can create location pages and have some impact, but trying to rank for a highly competitive area, I suggested getting a DBA 'of location' after the business name and setting up a new location in the heart of the city. Is this best practices for this scenario?

Does having a link that points to other sites with high DA help you with SEO?

Is it best practice or good for local seo to link landing page and other location/service pages with GBP using CID link?

I met with an owner of a farmers market yesterday and he wants to rank higher for the bakery, ice cream shop, and brewery, which he all has on-site. He currently is running it all through a single GBP with the farmers market as the primary category. Can I create separate GBPs for the different niches and just add a - Bakery, etc?

I saw this video from Sterling Sky Inc that the citation doesn't help Local Pack ranking, is it true? Do you agree with her? Login to view embedded media

Thoughts on this location page structure?
Has anyone experienced or have tried this strategy?

No duplicate content. everything is optimized. My concern is the structure only.

What is difference between local map citations and GMB citations? Is it recommended to create these citations?

So, I tried hard to bring my homepage to 1st position for the money keyword, but it wouldn't budge. So, I wrote a listicle blog, and it has been in the top 2 for the past few months. Does this strategy work in the long run? Also, why won't my homepage rank when worse websites rank for that particular keyword?

Hey guys!!
How do you find lots of niche-relevant backlinks every month for GMB?

I have several clients. I will try to create only Niche relevant Citations and backlinks for my clients. But Niche relevant Local Citations and backlinks are very limited.

Can I create Location pages even though I only have one GBP?

Is okay to have the same phone number for multiple location business?

Is there a way to change what shows up for highlights?

Hi,

I have some problems when quoting a service. I usually send it as a pdf that I write in google docs, simple text. And I was wondering if that has any influence on the client's decision making. Should there be a design involved? Do you use a template for this?

Thank you in advance,
Peter

What Do You Cover in Your Report? I cover on-page SEO, keyword rankings against competition, technical SEO, GBP optimization, citations, and backlink profiles, but I’d love to hear what others are doing.

How do you balance providing value without going too deep, especially for a free audit? I want to be able to tell a logical story and key points where we can improve their website, but not overwhelm myself.

Does anyone have a tried and true template for local SEO audits they’d be willing to share?
