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.
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.
@@mindymanda9065 I can't get it linked either. i have godaddy as my host and my gbp is already verified so I have no code to link it ... i am glad you got yours resolved.
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
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
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
Quick questions my business is over 2 years on gmb listing as service area with no address finally I got my address passed but find my ranking is lower now thank before any input on this
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?
? 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 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.
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!
Not knowing what i am doing , I hit the back button and it showed as submitted. Why cant google assist small business owners - I need someone to help me manage my account any ideas?

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!
Would it be helpful to add the following tags? Identifies as male owned Identifies as white owned Identifies as hetero owned Identifies as sys-normative

Omg I'm so glad I saw this video. I really thought I was ready to file my appeal smh
Glad to hear it
Is there an SEO tool that does all of these things for Google Business Profile?
There are some tools that can help but you'll have to implement most of it yourself
@@rankingacademy Great channel. Very grateful
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?
Not sure the AI content will move the needle but the link to the page you've chosen will.
Cant seem to find -White. -Straight owned in the attributes 🤔
I don't think that one is available 😉
That's what I was thinking. I hope Google ends it racist policies.
I swear! 😂

Make it easy for Google reviews with custom own link.
👍
you are a boss
😊Thanks
Awesome
Thanks Michael
? 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 ?
What is your most profitable service? Have you followed the advise from tip #1?
@@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.
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
Woow, Thank you, sir Luc.
You're welcome
I do not see social media linking option and ask question option in my GMB account. Kindly help.
Which country are you in? Sometimes certain features aren't available in certain countries.

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!
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
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.
I don't think the feature is available in India. It's likely your competitor's social media links were automatically added by Google
Not knowing what i am doing , I hit the back button and it showed as submitted. Why cant google assist small business owners - I need someone to help me manage my account any ideas?
Most of it is automated as Google wouldn't have the man power to handle all thee queries. What did you submit exactly?
How can I use a keyword tool without having to start a Google ads account
You can't. You have to create an account first but you won't get charged for it
On my GBP the messages icon dont show
Google Just removed this on the 31st of July 😔

Can I add my city name to my name without changing my DBA company name?
You can try
@@rankingacademy better to ask for forgiveness than permission? Haha
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!
I dont have messages on my page
sadly google remove the feature shortly after this video was published
Would it be helpful to add the following tags?
Identifies as male owned
Identifies as white owned
Identifies as hetero owned
Identifies as sys-normative
If they are available and they apply to your business, yes
And I could not upload a 3mins 30secs video????
Really? It might try multiple attempts
Plz make one proper step by step video u making confusion , i know that u need post videos more to earn more from youtube . But plz make one full video from start to finish
Plz brother
A video of what?
@@rankingacademy local seo for taxi websites and GMB
I'll add it to my list
Im surprised snapchat is so high up on that brightstar list.
Snapchat? Not sure what you mean
@@rankingacademy I think they are talking about the brightlocal link you have for the top directories. Snapchat is around position 5
@@rankingacademy I think they meant Snapchat being on the list you shared at 17:26 that is snapshot from Bright Local. Great video as always Luc!
