Manage episode 326696920 series 3272900
Each week, Greg and Ben answer your questions on digital marketing for local businesses … local search engine optimization (SEO), Google Business Profile, social media, email marketing, websites, online advertising and more.
Updates and Questions
- Changes to brand accounts.
- How do I verify my GBP when I have incorrect information that can’t be updated?
- If I set up a Google profile and don't have an address, can I choose a method of verification other than postcard?
- How should I set up the location page on my GBP for best results?
- Can I create my own Google review link generator?
- Is it better to select one business category over multiple on GBP?
- How do I get rid of non legitimate GBP accounts created by a separate marketing company that doesn’t exist anymore?
- Offer posts now showing up on the deals tab.
- My location isn’t labeled on Google maps but shows up in search - should I worry about it?
- Posts seem to last longer than they used to - should I be deleting old posts? 34:10
- Google keeps changing "Dine-in" to "No dine-in" which is hurting the business. What can I do to "lock in" the correct "Dine-in?
- How do I remove a negative review?
- If there are 2 SABs with the same address & owner, but different phone numbers & websites, and different (but related) primary categories, are their GBP's OK?
- I manage a number of franchise based GBP listings. There is little to no control over the websites and citations outside of Yext are not allowed. Any suggestions on what can be done?
- Do Q&As help your GBP, and if so, do you have any advice on getting people to do that in a white hat manner?
- What are your thoughts on service pages when they do not have a physical address in that city, but offer their services in that city?
- Is switching primary category and/or adding or deleting categories okay depending on the season?
- I’m having issues where a post will always be rejected if it includes any pictures at all, and this has been going on for over a year - would it be better to create a new listing?
- I have a five star rating but the review isn’t showing - is it possible that the links in the review are causing the problem?
