50 Tips That Will Change Your Google Business Profile Forever

[@McTaz343]

took nearly 6 hours to get through (taking notes, backing up, signing up etc., etc., etc., - off the charts excellent - thank you

[@rankingacademy]

wow! That's impressive. Glad you made the most of it

[@mindymanda9065]

Thank you for sharing this information. I initially thought it was exclusively my issue setting up their business page on Google, as the linking of my domain took a considerable amount of time to confirm.

[@drichardbilly2141]

McTaz did you by any chance do that six hours consecutively? Reason I'm asking is just figuring out what the average would be to do this for small to mid size business.

Hi there, firstly a huge huge thanks, I'm learning a lot from all these videos & subscribed instantly. As budding digital marketer, I want to start my own agency. Could you tell me how can I package my services or deliverables to my clients and keep them on a monthly retainer, So that it gives me & my clients ample amount of time to drive traffic & revenue ? Could you please be as elaborate as possible ? Thanks in advance

[@rankingacademy]

If you haven't even started your agency yet I would suggest you start working for a couple of clients for free. It will give you a pretty good idea of the work that is required and how long it takes so they you can price your services accordingly. Once you get decent results use them as case studies and reach out to potential clients showcasing what you're capable of doing. Don't charge the earth as they will run away otherwise. Don't try locking them into a retainer either. Tell them it's going to cost $xxx every month but they can get out of it at any time. Deliver outstanding results and continue building your reputation which you can lean on to charge higher prices. Rinse and repeat

[@teammemberx4214]

Great video thanks!!! Hey tip 18 link to the right landing page. Are you sure 100% when linking to another page on your own website that you will not get a suspension or re-verification? have you very heard of anyone getting a suspension or re-verification from doing this? I am sort of afraid to do this but I think it will help I can risk suspension

[@rankingacademy]

Yes I'm positive that changing the URL will be ok.

There are some tools that can help but you'll have to implement most of it yourself

How much lower? Is it for all keywords? How do you know? do you use a tracking tool to check your visibility?

[@usmanmughal9580]

Hey! I've noticed that my Google My Business listing is currently ranked fourth. I've added AI content to it and linked it to my homepage. However, I also have a specific landing page dedicated to it. I'm wondering if these changes will have any impact on its ranking?

[@rankingacademy]

Not sure the AI content will move the needle but the link to the page you've chosen will.

[@DavidMoskowitz-USA]

? I have a local business directory dedicated to dog services (groomers, trainers, vets, etc...) I'm having a problem picking a category -- what do you suggest ?

[@rankingacademy]

What is your most profitable service? Have you followed the advise from tip #1?

[@DavidMoskowitz-USA]

@@rankingacademy Thanks for the reply, well if I have over 200 listings everything from grooming to dog training to vets .... I would have to say grooming is most active.... Dog Groomers category, eh? even know I don't provide the service... it's just a business directory service. I was looking at business services categories.

[@mariomaro7]

If it's just a business directory that doesn't provide a service then I don't think you can have a GBP in that case. Focus on your site's normal SEO

Hello Sir, Social Media link is not showing for my business profile . I am living in India. but my competitor added to it's profile.

[@rankingacademy]

I don't think the feature is available in India. It's likely your competitor's social media links were automatically added by Google

[@blueprintrenovations9729]

Ran into a problem with tip #33 I ask a question and it doesn't show up in my business account. but when I log out I can see the question in the Google listing unanswered... DOH!

[@blueprintrenovations9729]

Barry Schwartz posted on seroundtable that this is a bug on Google and he's having same issue. guess I'll have to wait and see if they fix it.. .

Really? That's odd

[@oukastoukast]

Can I add my city name to my name without changing my DBA company name?

[@rankingacademy]

You can try

[@oukastoukast]

​@@rankingacademy better to ask for forgiveness than permission? Haha

[@MrCleverFox]

I would not recommend doing it without a DBA. However, if your listing already has strong signals (lots of reviews, traffic, etc), Google may let you pass and your local performance will improve. Just keep in mind that a competitor can also use the redressal form to report your listing as inaccurate/misleading or they can edit the listing back to your actual name. Luc has covered this topic in some of his other great videos!
