He also created 2 websites for both, however, one of the websites inner pages are all pointed to the original site. Both offices are about 50 miles apart, so they are serving 2 different areas. Should he just rename one of the GMBs to the original name and get rid of the secondary home page and add a service area page instead? 31:40 Should every GMB Posting post contain new content all the time. Does it hurt alot to use the same 2-3 times 35:08 Are you still finding geo-tagging on images in GMB posts to work on areas where you want to rank? 38:54 We’ve noticed that some businesses lose their Google Guaranteed badge/checkmark on certain days and their LSA profile gets “”demoted”” further down the LSA results.

I have a question. I just acquired a new client. They are in the mortgage industry and have a GMB called Arizona Lending Group. When you type in "Arizona Lending Group" into Google, their business GMB doesn't show up and their website URL doesn't show up on the first page either. They launched both their website and GMB about 4 months ago. They have done almost zero SEO. My question is, how can their business name/website URL/GMB show up at the top of Google when you type in their business name into Google? I'm guessing domain age, proper indexing, and GMB optimization might play a factor. I plan on outsourcing their GMB SEO to you guys, so maybe you guys can look into it more when I send all the details. thanks, guys! 23:25 is there any way of preventing others from suggesting an edit to our GMB listing? 26:00 I'm seeing Google Map listings in some local searches with only 2 results in the Maps area... Is this something new? Are they gonna slowly roll out the Google 3 pack? 30:50 1 More ..... Have a client. I have a strange one here.. Maybe someone can give some insight. When I go to the 3 pack for my GMB I don't show up, however when I click more I show number #3 yet I'm not #3 in the 3 pack on the Google search page 35:49 hey, I have a client where an employee moved the pin with his personal email. I fixed it in the GMB but he isn't showing on google anymore. it does 2 things show driving directions or if I misspell it will show him. any ideas. he already had a gstack. 39:37 Are citations still effective in ranking a GMB? How about using the CID as the web link? Any benefits? Also how important are citations with spun content? Is Google getting pickier about citation descriptions now? Are NAPs with a copy/paste description not enough anymore?
