Hi Luc, really appreciate your channels and videos; as a small local business you have inspired and motivated me to "do better local SEO"! If you had to choose a tools to assist with local SEO, which would you recommend, MOZ Local, Bright Local or Rank Tracker (or any others). Cheers mate and look forward to a reply. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Luc for another excellent video. What are "spam listings"? Number 5 on the list of GBP ranking factors. And how would I get rid of them if I had them?
Spam listings are essentially fake listings which business owners create to cover more ground. They are very common. For more info watch this video, it's fairly old but still current: th-cam.com/video/G3hUAcAebMk/w-d-xo.html
Hey ty for the video. it was helpfull ! I gotta ask, how would you define "service area" on the website. My brother would have 3 gmb. 2 physical location and 1 service area. Do he simply put up a page with the city name and 5 subburb in the name and have the gmp location map show it ? Im confuse :D, ty.
you don't need to define a service area if you have a physical location (unless it is a hybrid business). If you have a service area type of business you should list the areas in which your business operates
No they don't but according to google Businesses that add photos to their Business Profiles receive 42% more requests for directions on Google Maps, and 35% more clicks through to their websites than businesses that don’t.
Great video Luc, thanks to your videos, my business has really picked up in the last year mainly by following all your tips. just wondering, i am setting up another sister company, is it wise to have them both at same address for GMB or no, use different addresses? thanks again mate
No problem Mike. Setting up another company at the same address can be tricky especially if they have similar activities. Ideally you need to have a different address, website & phone number. Make sure the company is also registered with an official body (depending on which country you live in). If it's a brick and mortar business, add visible and permanent signage outside the building. That way you won't have any problems.
Another excellent video, thanks Luc. Off topic, but do you mind me asking what you use to edit your videos to add the visual and sound effects? Thanks Simon
Thanks for another helpful video Luc! Regarding the I.D. attributes, are you able to further explain how the report you cited demonstrated how picking one of the top 6 would help a business like mine potentially rank better? One definitely applies to me, however I'd like to exercise some caution prior to proceeding. Thanks for explaining, Delfino
Hi delfino. It's very straightforward. If one of the attributes applies to you, let's say "Latino-owned" and you add it to your profile. Your listing might rank for "latino owned tree services" related keywords
I am trying to rank for canine nutrition and natural wellness, I keep landing in dog training. I don’t know what to choose or or to edit it without it being rejected change.
Great valuable info as always! Question: If a biz has multiple listings should they have the same categories/number of on each location listing? Is there a certain number of categories that should be considered? *sweet spot?
Hi Luc! Great video as always! I tried to change my business name, however it looks like it hasn't changed immediately. Do you know if this change takes time?
For the primary and secondary category, what if there aren't many options for your business type? i am a boudoir photographer but the only options are things like photographer, photography studio, photo services etc.

If the option is available for your business category you should be able to find it under the "More" tab when you edit your profile
Sir, Can I select the primary category as my service name like Dental Braces Treatment/ Cosmetic Dentistry. Please cleare my doubts
Categories are predefined so you'll have to choose the closest possible one.

Thanks for the great info, I'll make sure I implement this on my profile.

It depends on the keywords your client wants to rank for. The home page of your website would be a good start.

Can i set up my apartment address to business address?
Yes you can, make sure you set your listing as a service aerea
@@rankingacademy service area means? Could you please explain?
What about the Q&A section of the GBP? Adding Q's and A's here - does it help to rank, in your opinion?
Nope it doesn't. Only the 6 editable elements I cover in the video do
What is the future of seo going forward?
Very bright, specifically for local businesses
Can you please help…. I was following the vid, making changes to my profile and BOOM my account went from verified and visible to customers to now Not Verified 🤯😢 …..please help!
Accounts don't get unverified. Has it been suspended?
Why does google have a google phone number on my google business page? Can I get rid of it?
What do you mean by "a google phone number"
I get how users can see the Product Section. But once we update the Services, where is this shown to layman users.
You can find it on mobile search results, there is a tab called "services"
