I use GMB everywhere and Its a fantastic tool. Great job on the video!

Awesome! Thank you!

I'm from Brazil and I follow your channel, and I'm learning much more than the Brazilian channels, congratulations

Awesome! Thank you Eduardo!

[@MatteoCancian]

Luc I've loved your videos for years but the frequency of jump cuts, sound bites, transitions, cutaways etc in recent videos has made it more difficult to watch

[@rankingacademy]

I appreciate the feedback Matteo and will definitely take it into consideration in my next videos

I saw another GMB expert saying this will dilute your profile but im willing to try it because I rank number 6 in my city. THANKS

[@rankingacademy]

Why would it dilute your profile? Google is constantly adding services to your profile without even you knowing so I doubt very much they would intentionally "dilute" your profile

[@JohnGallie]

if you dont have the words listed you can never rank for that keyword unless you use LSI keywords etc. trust me this works!

My main business category isn't listed on Google. Problem #1 Problem #2 I have a service business that mostly caters to a higher clientele in a specific area different from where I live. Google Maps is treating my business like a restaurant with a specific location.

[@rankingacademy]

#1; Pick a category that matches as closely as possible to your main activity #2 To rank in a target location your business should be located in that location

Thank you god. Towards the end of the video what tool gives you the little map with all the ranking bubbles for each section of the map?

Hi Would you please consider doing a video on improving seo for an industry that is highly regulated?! Our business is a smoke /vape/cbd and it is frowned upon. We cannot advertise cigarettes , vapes, smoking, cbd, we cannot on newsprint, radio, tv, no where….so listing on Google maps is best allowed but even at that, it has to be primarily aimed at name and location. I know that society as a whole does not support this industry but there is a need / a niche and there is a customer base. How do we reach those customers? Any suggestions much appreciated.

[@rankingacademy]

Very intresting topic. I'll add it to my list

[@alantate25]

Hey Luc I greatly appreciate your channel, had a question for the GMB profile, if we change the business name and add a target keyword in it, do we now need to change all the citations across the internet?

[@rankingacademy]

I would at least update the citations in the main directories

[@TheAO84]

Nice. That find feature must be relatively new, or I just didn’t realize it was there before. Thanks so much!!

[@rankingacademy]

No problem!

I have purchased from you and can’t use because it needs skills also can’t find your videos in my email anymore 😢

[@andrewdowniephd]

Thanks Luc. How would you present the metrics from this sort of work to your client? I presume you'd provide a "Before and After" breakdown of changes in the search results for them.

[@rankingacademy]

Yes. I use the grid tracker results. It's visually powerful. Plus if you track conversion (which you should) you can tie the two together to prove your worth.

[@andrewdowniephd]

@@rankingacademy Thanks for the reply. I really need to get more involved with SEO and appreciate your tutorials and guidance as I compose a strategy for clients. Keep up the excellent work!

[@AlexHauk]

Merci beaucoup!!

[@rankingacademy]

Avec plaisir

[@JohnGallie]

I have a custom tool that writes the services. mix and match them with cities near you for optimal effect. some clients I have about 2k services listed in the maps, and its legit as they offer that service in that city take an Hvac guy for instance, boiler heater repair boston, boiler heater servicing boston, etc.

[@rankingacademy]

sounds awesome!

[@arikmetzger6012]

Plumber list?

[@ihabhashwa]

I don't understand. What does your tool do exactly?

[@TheProfitableDad]

So I did that and it happens that now looking at my geogrid thing, I'm much worse off than I was before ... Any idea why by adding services and secondary categories, the listing went down in the map searches ? For some it only went down by 1 spot but others went from let's say 4 to 12 or even worse 20+. Thanks

[@rankingacademy]

hard to tell. Are the services and secondary categories you've added relevant? How long ago did you make the changes? Did you change anything else?

[@livefromberlin2327]

They dont show up... predefined services...it only says I can add my own services....

[@rankingacademy]

Not all listing have predefined services as it is category dependent. You can add custom ones instead

[@moondustfox]

I thought that the more categories, the more the profile is competing with other companies in other categories. So does this mean that I can add as much as possible (that still makes sense to the profile), without fear of it disrupting the profile?

[@rankingacademy]

Absolutely! Your primary category is the main one. If you feel you can add 9 other secondary categories based on what you offer, go for it

[@jasbindersingh2441]

Created a new profile a week ago... using an a virtual address right in the middle of London. The same address has been on my website for yrs. All was fine for 24 hrs. Then I git a suspension. Removed map listing (I'm a service provider) and appeal against suspension. Got reinstated the next day Only problem ...my Google profile being a service business without a publicly viewable address (ie ...my profile no longer displays a map)...my impressions have tanked from 20 and a couple of clicks... to zilch and no clicks. Which I put down to having no map address. This sound about right ?

[@rankingacademy]

It does indeed. Also it takes a while for a listing to recover previous rankings after a suspension

[@jasbindersingh2441]

@@rankingacademy thanks

[@seo-dude]

Do you have any recommendations for businesses whose main category doesn't have any pre-defined services?

Add custom ones but sadly they won't help you rank

Hello sir, I have a question, I own a hookah shop and have a 6 month old optimized GMB account , but my competitors has not that much of information in his profile but its ranks at 1st how ??

[@rankingacademy]

There are many ranking factors to take into consideration, having a 6 months old GMB account doesn't guarantee you'll outrank your competitors. What about reviews, images, business categories, how old their listing is etc...

[@Nayan20]

When does gmb get verified with number verification only?

[@rankingacademy]

There isn't any particular rule behind it. Google decides
