Chris, great video, thank you. I'm not seeing the .xls spreadsheet with cities on your website. Can you please advise as to where I can find this? Thank you
Big wow....Thank you, Chris, for the amount of info and effort you put into this video, you covered everything, I rank you number one in SEO teaching i am happy that i found you, keep going wish you good luck.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment on this SEO video , if you have other search engine optimization questions related to Google Maps SEO , Google Business Profiles , anything local SEO related or just want some times for better digital marketing. Never hesitate to ask. Thank you again for the comment blessings.
Great advice. Didn't think to add my services as products. Although not sure that having only one category for my business works as there is no perfect match for our service.
I am in the house painting business. My GBP was suspended, and it was a nightmare! I don't want to ever go through that again. My business is listed as having no location and home service only; they don't let me list an address or have a PIN in maps. And I have been watching you to help me get more business. My question is, When you say around 5:14 in, to get more exposure to my business, I can connect for Google inside of products because there’s an interlink you can link. If I do this, will I get in trouble with Google guidelines, and will it still be okay with Google to do this?

Hi Chris & thanks for great content! A lot of GB pages add the keywords such us a location they service next to their names irrespectively that is not 100% accurate! Is this against the guidelines? And is there any chance to get banned or reported? Hypothetically i have business which is renting trucks and delivering them in London Airport, but is not located in London Airport! And some business add to google business name the word Airport! For example: Chris Palmer: Truck Rentals London Airport, Truck Rentals London City, truck rentals West London! And your store is located in lets say in somewhere in London but not in Airport!
Dear Chris, I didn’t received an answer, is this against the guidelines? Is is ok to do that? Irrespectively that the business will not be in the airport?
Glad that this video was helpful and I appreciate you taking the time to watch todays SEO video , if you have future questions please feel free to ask here or on any other SEO questions. #chrispalmerseo
Thanks for the video. I want to do digital marketing as well. Should i create a new google business email or use my existing account? Also, for my business name, do I have to claim it?
Best info I've seen on this topic. Don't think I caught anything regarding online estimates. For home service industry, I'm seeing that in their profile and I'm wondering what it is. I don't see it as a GBP platform function and some listings with it don't even have a website linked or they put their Facebook page. Maybe just having a quote form on the website qualifies.
Hey Chris, do you have any advice on how I should add mattresses to my Merchant Center? We have one mattress that comes in 5-7 different sizes and prices. Does each size/price need it's own listing? I can't find a good way to do this. Thanks!
hey man quick question, first of all your amazing, but should i still only put one service even if google tells me that my "profile strength" is lowered.
How realistic is it to offer optimizing this as a service to other business as a beginner? This all seems straight forward and not crazy complicated. However after searching for companies that do these services it seems in their experience and expertise, they seem to get really advanced with it.. I’m looking to start a business like this that’ll help bring value and am able to make an income right away to build off of. Is this possible? And how or when would you suggest outsourcing services offered?
Super helpful video Chris. Is GMB only for local physical businesses? I have a blog and was told to sign up to GMB to establish EAT but most of it applies to physical retail businesses only.
You can use A Gmb to validate any entity regardless if you have a physical address or not but you will still need to verify an address but you don’t have to show it
HI Chris: With the new Google Business look, where do we find our old posts aka old offers? Before we could pull up all old posts and see how the old posts are doing as far as number of people looking at the post? It appears that it is all lost. All we can do is to put up new posts. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your video! I went through every detail you explained and edited my BP. Question: how do I change my photo that shows up on my GP? I have a photo of a condo and I would like to change it. Any suggestions? Your video was so helpful.....you're very generous for sharing. Suzanne
Hi I was wondering if you could help me? I want to improve my local seo strategy but using Google my business but I don't know if its possible. I've seen that googles guidelines claim that they don't allow virtual offices to be used for Google my business. I'm sure there are people out there that are using virtual offices in some way for registering a Google my business profile that fit the criteria but I can't find a way of clearly doing this. Do you know how I can use some location in the UK that I'm not physically located but can visit to get registered on Google my business? Thanks
I've always wondered how I can rank on google our business focuses on solar, and we do bathroom and kitchen. But those are all categories of their own. How would you structure the business in my scenario?
Hey Chris, this was a wonderful video and very informative. I have been trying to find information on how to rank my mobile business in other towns and cities. Does it matter if I use counties instead of cities? Also, does using keyboards in post updates help me get better rankings? Thank you in advance.
So happy to help and share SEO tips , thank you for taking the time to watch and to comment means alot to know I'm helping. thank you again #chrispalmerseo
if you’re going to do this for another business that isn’t yours but you’re going to optimize it, can you access it by another email that isn’t related to the business, or would i have to ask the business for the log in information?

Just making sure I understand, if I have a website with a longer address "the actual domain" and I use a redirect domain name, you're advising to use the actual website address and not the redirect domain which leads to the actual website, correct?
Hi Chris, I didn't see this covered in the video. Did I miss it? The caption under your stars: "Internet marketing service in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania". How do I add a caption like this to my listing? Thanks for any help!
Hi Chris, thank you for your content and knowledge. Question regarding adding products for a service business. When I go into add product it wants me to put in price, shipping, tax, etc. Without the information, it states that my "product" won't be displayed in the US.

What if you have a broad category like consultant as a primary category? Should you specify the type of consulting you do in services? The type of consulting I do is not listed as a primary category. Also, how does a company get a Provides check mark on their GMB listing? I have seen competitors with this and cannot figure it out.
No mater what I try, the picture I add to the product for my service business becomes "not approved" and I can't add them because the issue is "Generic Image- use an image that shows the product". The images you are using in this video are completely unrelated but they are still approved, how did you do this?
Are you recomending not to use custom services ? I have a service as consulting but there is no option for consulting in food handling , so i created a custom one , that is even the keyword i want to ranck . Should i just use the listed service categories provided by google even if they do not represent fully my service? Thanks for your comment!
@@chris-palmer ,thanks for the clarification, i have no experience at all, i was under impression that the more exact service description the better ....but i have no basis for that. You have done tons of test to see what work and what does not....i choose to take your comments. thanks for answering my question!!!
@@chris-palmer - Interesting. I would think their systems know to expect UTM tags on profiles. Would it not still pass the same ranking signals? Many larger agencies add UTM tags to the web address to separate their organic traffic from GBP traffic.
@@iamdadsquatch i thought you where specifically asking about link building or running traffic in that case no ........if you want to track then yes sorry for my confusion i was reading and answering questions fast

i add the primary service , because all others are custom . Google even lists out your primary .
