If you’re a #localseo or manage GMBs you need to listen to this interview!

πŸ’‘One actionable takeaway: I’m going to test reporting fake listings from their location

Great post and thanks for the shout @whitespark.ca & @miriamellis.bsky.social - I’d also like to h/t GBP Diamond PE Helmut - I’m pretty sure I learned this hack from him? I can’t remember…

Either way: you can find all sorts of gems like that buried in the Google Help Community!

Even competitive categories like PI law can get leads fast and cheap if you get location right.

I helped a brand new firm run lean and go from ZERO to 12 cases in 90 days for less than the cost of a few LSA calls.

Right location + right message=☎️

A significant change to Google's Business Profile Guidelines!

Businesses selling products/services with minimum age requirements (e.g. alcohol, cannabis) MUST have a storefront.

No more restricted product SABs.

When searching for kitchen remodeling on Google, what do searchers actually click on? We think you will find it surprising.

#SEOtip to 10x your SEO sales close rate: just say the word β€œmetadata” as much as you can.

Nothing assures a prospect more of your abilities and deep technical prowess!

Can’t say I’ve tested in these scenarios but certainly worth a try! I will say some categories this may not work, such as duress categories, certain healthcare categories, etc.

A variety. Past 3 months this has worked with Personal injury, a vehicle dealership, and construction equipment

2/3: You need an indexed online presence. Set up GBP last!!

First, set up:

1. Facebook
2. Yelp
3. Bing
4. Apple Maps
5. Other random listings, 5-10 of them. Eg. Yellowpages, Super Pages, etc
6. Aggregators (Data Axle, Foursquare, Localeze)

You can do this various ways. I use Whitespark

You can avoid video verification for Google Business Profile (most of the time) if you have two weeks' notice.

It costs me $216 but it's worth every penny to avoid video! #localseo 1/3 πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
