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!

[@christianlecuyer6380]

Super video Luc!

[@rankingacademy]

Thanks Christian

[@m3lvin888]

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

[@rankingacademy]

Great stuff 👍

[@aldinetree]

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

[@rankingacademy]

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

[@Jeditilt]

This was very helpful! Thank you!

[@rankingacademy]

My pleasure

[@CheshireCars]

Easily actionable Luc, great advice 👌

[@rankingacademy]

Many thanks David

[@doughannan]

Luc. Great content as always. Do posted photos in GBP affect the ranking at all?

[@rankingacademy]

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.

[@josephdimartino5675]

super helpful. thank you

[@rankingacademy]

Great to hear. Thanks for watching Joseph

[@mke1984]

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

[@rankingacademy]

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.

[@kindstakepool8185]

Nice vidéo as usual

[@rankingacademy]

Many thanks

[@elizabethdunn-hall9109]

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?

[@rankingacademy]

If it's the same business why would the categories be different?

[@stevenintexas6947]

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?

[@rankingacademy]

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: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWTLhnSZdsqVg80

[@seo-fan-lead739]

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.

[@rankingacademy]

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

[@Simon_Portillo]

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

[@rankingacademy]

Hi Simon. I use a tool called camtasia

It's generally fairly quick

[@allthingsboudoir]

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.

[@rankingacademy]

Check what your competitors are using with the GMB everywhere extension

[@sonusaha9052]

Sir, Can I select the primary category as my service name like Dental Braces Treatment/ Cosmetic Dentistry. Please cleare my doubts

[@rankingacademy]

Categories are predefined so you'll have to choose the closest possible one.

[@thewelloiledk9]

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.

[@EzekJohnson]

Great video. We have car parking available for customers. How do I add that on my business profile, please?

[@rankingacademy]

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

[@MJPlebon]

What about the Q&A section of the GBP? Adding Q's and A's here - does it help to rank, in your opinion?

[@rankingacademy]

Nope it doesn't. Only the 6 editable elements I cover in the video do

[@FastandFriendly]

Do you know how to get a GMB page for a California cannabis business to stick? We’ve been online for a few years then got kicked off. They won’t reinstate us after multiple attempts and as you probably know, they won’t tell you exactly why.

[@rankingacademy]

I am not a specialist in the cannabis vertical but when it comes to Google Business Profile I believe the restrictions are a tighter than normal businesses. This article should help: www.dailystory.com/cannabis-marketing/dispensary-google-my-business-for-cannabis-marketers/ Make sure you abide by the rules then apply for reinstatement.

[@JoyousRuhul]

dear i am not clear about using keyword my client wants to rank on 7 keywords in Gmb but how is it possible? where i need to use 7 keywords? my website home page or gmb description make it clear please

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