Tysm for the free GBP class, but overall I have a question I've been studying GBP for some time, do you have any idea how much I can charge for the service of 1 - make an optimized GBP and manage it for 1 month, 2 - Make a website for the business (both separate) I live in a small town and there is no competition here
It depends on what people are willing to pay, if you face any competition and what they charge. Just look around. The amount of money you can charge will mostly correlate with your expertise and what you're capable of delivering
Thank you so much for providing this wonderful information n such a long video for free.....it helps me a lot....And your content is so organised and clear about the point... fantastic work!
My Google business profile is 10 months old, I am a pool cleaner. I originally put my home address AND a Service Area. I only show up for and get a few calls from my city. Can I remove my address now and will it make me appear for more cities or should I leave it.
I have a client that gets 3-400 calls through GBP page. I was wondering if it is legal to use the numbers that can be identified as mobile to do SMS text marketing to. Can you give me any insight to this idea whether it is something which should be pursued? Thanks!
I guess it would depend on the law of where your business is located. Generally speaking you'd need consent from the customers so I would be inclined to say no.
Thank you so much for this valuable course!!! I truly appreciate you 🙏❤ I also have a question, do you think having the free Google website helps with ranking as opposed to having a regular website?
It’s funny. I have a GMB, with reviews, pictures updates, post etc. I have a web site, set up on social media… but still can’t get out of 20s in rankings. A lot of business ahead of me have no pictures, no reviews or if they do it’s poor reviews with no response. Seeing this the owners of these businesses aren’t even engaged online. But yet they out rank me. Why is this? How can a business with no website, no online engagement in GMB out rank me? I’m about to pull my hair out trying to figure this one out.
If I search my area for my business on google maps. I’m not even in top 20. Yet have businesses ahead of me, who have no pictures, no web sites etc. Even a few that have multiple businesses listed. I have all keywords for my business and all services I provide. I’m in USA.
This is so helpful. Can you please advise with an ecommerce online store do I follow the same procedure when it comes to hiding my physical home address and phone number as you explained here in the "Service Area" ? Thank you
Thank you for your answer to my question. So what happens if I choose instead to make my address visible to the public as well as my phone number, would my business then be elegible for a google listing? Also, I have had my google business page listing for my online store for a while now, but never had any problems with Google in terms of violating any rules. Please advise. Thanks so so much. You are AMAZING AND SO FULL OF KNOWLEDGE. YOu are a Blessing!!
High level quality videos, the most professionnal so far. A question for you : I do cold calls to offer business owners to better rank their GMP listing. But very few of them are interested. They have the feeling to be sold advertising. What recommendations would you have to improve my closing rate. I do that in Canada. Thank you.
Are you trying to close on the first call? If so you might try not to. Reach out first and tell them what they are missing out on then ask if they'd be willing to receive a video that shows them how you can improve their visibility and how much more money they could make. Then try to close. Watch this short for more tips : th-cam.com/users/shortsxEd5qA3ERtY
What page do you link your GMB to? I have a local service company. My home page targets a specific keyword (Window Replacement Company), I feel it may be better to create a city page to link my gmb to. My address is in a suburb, so do I link the GMB to the suburb city page, or the actual big city page that is 15 miles away? Does a GMB landing page need to briefly cover all the info covered in the GMB listing, like the categories, services, and locations?
Hi!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I tried getting your email template, and it gave me an error. "Your submission failed because of an error." I used dif browsers to test too :(
Hi there Ranking Academy, love your content. I watched your video which gave the suggestion to improve reviews by sending an sms to customers with a photo of the item purchased and they click on the link which then enables them to comment straight to your business profile, I thought this is amazing, however, I have a friend whose main customer base at his restaurant is foreigners who do not have a local SIM card in their mobile phone which makes it impossible for him to send an sms to them. Do you suggest an email in this case....Please help
If you are talking about photos you uploaded yourself just log into your profile. Click on the cover photo from your panel then scroll through the photos and locate the one you want to delete. Once you've found it just click on it. In the top right hand side corner you should see a bin icon. just click on it
Could u please tell about languages in the website. I wanna make 3 languages. Is it important to write the seo and all the steps in each language? Or seo only in main language is enough? Also thanks for this information ❤
I had personal account linked to my website and my google merchant account is suspended. Can I now create a different business account and request a review for same website?
@@rankingacademy sorry, my bad. I guess I asked something out of context. The thing is that I am looking for the solution to get my Google merchant account back which is suspended.
Can a webshop be sdded as loca 3:50 l business, without visiting address, and entire coutry ot multiple coutriesas a service area? And how about mulriple niche shops running inder same legsl company and same business address ?
When my customers give me a review and upload photos of my work on my google business page the photos are not visible to any one, only to the one that uploaded the photos. The reviews are visible to everyone but not the photos. Help please.
@@rankingacademy photos of my work I did, I work on their cars and they posted on my reviews but none of them show up to me or the public only to the person that posted it can see it. Don’t know why.
Thanks for the great video! As I a new to this field, I'm looking for tips on how to get more followers for my startup website using Facebook social media marketing. Any advice or best practices you can share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
A free 2-and-a-half-hour SEO class? Massive value in here. Thank you sir.
You’re very welcome Steve
Sorry but here is the best where to learn seo
How does this only have 24k views. Should be 1m + with how much value you bring! Great work!
Many thanks Jeremy
Hi, how do I link my website to my Google profile? Can you please advise here. I don't quite understand it on the video. thanks
In your Google Business Profile Management interface under "edit Profile" there is a field called Website: Add your website link in there

Hi Juan. No it won't. The service area is simply used by google to display where your business operates. It has no impact on where your listing ranks
@@rankingacademy if I schedule a call with your firm, are you the one I would get or a staff member?
Best in the game, if you're not doing seo, you're missing out on tons of clients/money!
Thanks so much
This is the video I've been searching the net for. So much value in one video, I really appreciate this.
Glad you enjoyed it Krystal

thank you so much for sharing, this has plugged a number of 'holes' in my understanding and I found it exceptionally valuable!
Glad it was helpful!
Super useful video, especially the products to use to create the various items such as colour palette, logo etc.
Glad you think so
Thank you so much for this valuable course!!! I truly appreciate you 🙏❤ I also have a question, do you think having the free Google website helps with ranking as opposed to having a regular website?
A fully fledge website is 10x better than a free Google website
Hi, what if the customer leave a negative feedback and post up on Google? Any way to hide or delete it? Thanks Tim
You can’t delete it unless the review goes against the guidelines. Just make sure you collect more positive reviews
It’s funny. I have a GMB, with reviews, pictures updates, post etc. I have a web site, set up on social media… but still can’t get out of 20s in rankings.

For what keywords? In which location? How are you tracking your results?
If I search my area for my business on google maps. I’m not even in top 20. Yet have businesses ahead of me, who have no pictures, no web sites etc. Even a few that have multiple businesses listed. I have all keywords for my business and all services I provide. I’m in USA.
have you had your profile and website and been in business longer than them?
I'm from Germany & created my profile for Germany. Now i want to rank in the United States, Japan , Canada. Can i add this place as my service area ?
No, A google business profile is for local businesses not international ones
This is so helpful. Can you please advise with an ecommerce online store do I follow the same procedure when it comes to hiding my physical home address and phone number as you explained here in the "Service Area" ? Thank you
Hi loretta. Unfortunately if your business is exclusively online you're not eligible to claim a google listing
Thank you for your answer to my question. So what happens if I choose instead to make my address visible to the public as well as my phone number, would my business then be elegible for a google listing?

First and foremost, do you rank n#1 for your main service in the area where your business is located?
How can I contact you?

Hey MrGaroli, many thanks. Yes I would suggest you use email instead.
WOW Longest video to date
Indeed. Thanks for watching
Can you please tell me, how do I remove stock photo from GMB. I am not getting any option. Thanks for creating this amazing video.

Sorry you've lost me. Are you talking about google merchant or Google business profile, because I don't know anything about google merchant.

Unless you’re willing to pay for advertising, Facebook and instagram are not great to reach an audience. Consider TikTok instead
@@rankingacademy Thank u, sir
My humble request, Could you please create a video for promoting small businesses on TikTok?
Other people would charge thousands for this lol thanks mate
My pleasure
Great course - You deserve all the best!
Many thanks Ariel
Thanks for this. But my business is in USA and I haven't receive postcard for several time. Is there a way to bypass that.
