I'll add some more from my own experience. Keywords in business name - Wes correctly mentioned that it is against Google guidelines to use those. Yes, and if your competitor is doing this, you can do something about that. Just edit their listing, Google will usually accept your change. Worked 8/10 times. Are you not appearing in Google Maps, due to the competiton sharing the same address? According to Google guidelines you can differentiate your address by adding a door number or a floor (in case of a multi-level building) in to the address field. It truly does help.

You can change your business name with a simple DBA and submitting that to Google. Don’t need to change everything. Also if you build citations with the DBA name; when the Google employee looking at the change request checks, they usually will just approve it based on other sites and the DBA which cost like $99.

Dude, I've done all of these steps, plus more. But it seems that there is a local competitor near me, who : 1) Doesn't have their GMB profile even complete. 2) Doesn't have the city mentioned anywhere in their GMB profile 3) Has a 3 page website, mentioning the city once 4) Has less reviews than my business (with the last review being over 2 years ago) yet, they are still not only outranking me, but also majority of the local competition here. I genuinely am lost at this point.

I liked this style of video, it reminds me of a KZbinr who rates different foods from A-F. Unfortanutely, I have to disagree with you on KW in GBP & Geo-tagging images. While geo-tagging can be time consuming (without even mentioning optimization, and adding brand, description, etc) it is definitely worth it. On both GBP and on on-page content. I would also probably put Internal in A, but I feel like this is a more advanced technique for people who can visualize and understand how linking works and how to properly do it in relation to the hierarchy. Lastly, I'm glad you put Backlinks so far down, it really is so time-consuming, difficult, and after Google's update - as they said - kind of irrelavant & a waste of time. I hate it 😪😄

Hey @WesMcDowellInc great video! Quick question about dedicated service pages for each service. If a multi-location service area business (SAB) has a dedicated landing page for each service area (IE LA, New York, Austin, etc...) does Google only crawl that landing page attached to the GBP's website link? Meaning each location (let's go with Austin) should have it's own dedicate Austin [service page] - something like /location/austin/austin-tire-repair or would Google crawl the generic service pages not attached to the GBP landing page like /services/tire-repair? Been something Im trying to figure out - can't get any solid data on it. Either way, keep up the great work, videos are always informative and helpful!

Google would crawl it and undestand it from website perspective, but would not help the GBP ranking if is further from the zone. GBP attached to GBP should be consider only up to 20 mile radius even lower if high competition.

The word Shell Oil is also a key word if that helps or matters.

I’ve seen things like Relume but it’s a monthly cost. Is it possible to use this for a month or so and then cancel once I’ve built my website with it? Or does it disappear when the thing ends? I can’t keep an upkeep with that. As I’m not a web designer. I feel like I should be with tools like that haha. Unless there are other solutions for this haha.

It might sound confusing, but you can never truly outrank local businesses on Google, and they can’t always outrank you either. Here’s why: Google promotes local businesses based on proximity. Even if your Google My Business profile isn’t the best, if a customer is just 100 meters away from you, Google will likely promote your business, maybe not first, but possibly second. For instance, if Marta is only 100 meters away from me, I might appear in the first place in her search results. However, if Roger is 2 kilometers away at the same time, I could appear much lower, maybe around the 6th or 7th place, or possibly even lower.

@@WesMcDowellInc that's not the point of your video... backlink is one of the major backbone in ranking your website, and you just make it like an "option", in a way like you're regurgitating what Google says, and any true expert know this is such bs info Google feed to many people.

i dont know what the username is? After filling out business email, im asked to make a username and password. I'm like a vulcan and it appears illogical to need a password to access an email thats public to everyone but you. Totally rediculos, the illusion of safety. The seatbelt user name.

Disagree with backlinks in D tier. If you don’t have enough backlinks and weak domain authority, you will never rank high for your location landing pages. You even say to do this in your other video on optimizing GBP.

Social networks have 4x'd their organic traffic in the last year or so and you're claiming they don't help you rank... Even though EEAT is a validation factor you need in order to rank and social is part of EEAT. But ok man... Not to mention content syndication to your social networks def helps it rank better

@@WesMcDowellInc How about the recent leaked documents and NavBoost being mentioned 86 times? Once you understand NavBoost and how user engagement influences higher ranking you'll understand Google doesn't care where those user engagement metrics come from. We've been using referral traffic for 5 years to boost ranking. Split testing between not using social and content syndication vs. using content syndication to social networks. Results were night and day between the two. (I Hit enter too early) To address the eeat comment. EEAT was specifically mentioned, in that, although EEAT isn't a ranking factor per se, it is a validation factor. YMYL niches were specifically mentioned
