Another Excellent video Luc! Many thanks for sharing with us small business owners. You give us plenty of great tips that are practical and easy to apply. Really appreciated. I'm sure you have plenty of ideas for future content but if you are ever stuck for ideas then I and I'm sure many would love to see something along the lines of best practices for multi-lingual gmb management. Murky waters indeed. Thanks again!
Thanks, this video is great fuel to motivate clients to get on a monthly GBP plan. Quick question - are there any studies of the return on investment justifications make?
Thank you Luc, very helpful, will add this to my list. Do you have videos on Yelp (not a fan) and say Bing or Yahoo my business? I feel that Google takes up all my free time but was hoping to spend a little time on Bing and Yahoo. Thoughts please
The reason you should spend most of your time on Google is because it's where people search for local businesses. The simply dominate the market. Make sure you create a listing on Bing. If you've optimised your website for SEO it should rank well in both Google and Bing.
Another excellent video and one that explains everything clearly and provides everything you need with practical demonstrations. Thanks heaps for the continuous great quality videos👍👍
Hello. Thanks to you, We learned a lot from your videos, and now we have started setting up our GMB. I want to ask, in the results of the google search display, at the very bottom there is "Profiles" which contains links to social media (facebook, instagram, twitter). Can we change the social media link? Because the link leads to old social media accounts that is no longer used. We want to replace with new social media accounts thank you.
You can't replace them. Google includes these automatically. But you can make it easy for Google to make the association. Add the social media profile to the footer of all your pages of your site using j-son coding. I would also delete the social media accounts if there are no longer in use.
Are we certain that GMB POST justifications will only be from post 60 days or newer? Can a post that is older than 60 days old be edited a bit and be found as a post justification? For example, add a keyword or two to an old post?
@@rankingacademy I will test it out and let you know 👍, happen to know how long a post last before google deletes an update post? I think you may have once said 6 months, but I think I heard someone else say a year....? Thanks for your videos, they have helped immensely!
Hi Luc, excellent content as always, but I have a burning question. I'm the owner of a dental practice and I want a review justification appearing on my GMB and all I got is "online dental care" which I'm not sure how it got there...I have more than 100 5stars reviews, but how do I get this review justification to be "live"? Hope you can help me. Thanks,
Hey Luc, Thanks for these awesome tips! How would you handle local SEO for 3 dental clinics owned by same person but with 3 separate business names and domains? They are all within 10kms of each other. The content is written and approved by the owners for all 3 clinics. How to avoid duplication of contents when they provide the same services at 3 locations?
Hi Vijay. I'm not sure I follow. You're initially saying the dental clinics are owned by the same person but the content is written by the owners. Is there just one or multiple owners?? In any case, it sounds like three different distinct business entities. If they all have different names, different addresses and different phone numbers I would create 3 different GMB listings along with three different websites. Make sure the content is different on all three. I would recommend commissioning a different copywriter to write the content. It will help the content be different on all three.
Great content Luc. Do you know why on some searches the map pack only shows results by "hours" and not "ratings" & "hours"? For the same keyword but different area, it displays results by "hours" and in the other area it displays them by "rating" & "hours". Thanks.
You are one of the great trainer that i gladly follow on TH-cam. More and more people should follow you.People are following many fake gurus and at the end most of them get frustrated and stop doing SEO.

Not that I know of, it would be difficult to quantify

I am learning so much from you. Thanks for making such great and concise content (with no horrible soundtrack).
My pleasure Derek. Glad you like the videos.

As far as I know 60 days is the threshold. Not sure about editing old post. Best way to find out is to try

You amaze me.
That is great information.

@@rankingacademy Thanks Luc that makes sense. Would paraphrasing the same content across the 3 clinics be seen as a duplicate content issue?
Merci Luc pour la vidéo ! J'en sais plus sur la justification maintenant !
No Problemo Mario
Thanks for your last tip that I implemented back in the spring. My Google Listing now has 75 Five Star Reviews.
