There is more valuable info in this 10 min video than any 6 week masterclass. Thank you for specifically addressing service based businesses. What is the website you demonstrated the location pages from? Genius! …………Congratulations on being included in the Whitespark survey! I imagine you will be doing videos about the important ranking factors.
Many thanks. The website I use for the demo is in the description of the video, and yes you are correct, I am currently working on a video about the local ranking factors ;-)
Great video! Going back to your other video about local seo is one of the best home-based work, can you please create a video on how to find local seo clients? Like how would you audit their gbp and website so you can provide value when you call/email the business? Thanks!
Bro you always crush these! I hope all is well. Hoping to get my channel for Momentum Digital as big as yours one day! Inspiration to all us SEO marketers!
Great summary!! Can i use both options for websites :google one page site from GMB and my own web page? I see both options listed , i am currently ranking only using the free page from GMB but I am worry that soon as i pot the name of the new website i will lose all i have gained using the GMB site. Or perhaps I still have the option to use both. I hops you can comment. Thanks
Hi alex. What do you mean by "my own web page" ? is it a fully fledge website? If so I would use it as the main link on your GBP profile. You can keep the free GBP website live if you want. It won't hurt
@@rankingacademy yes i meant fully fledge web site. if i use both, can i could i rank with both? meaning if i have a search keyword and my Listing is winning that word, it is possible to have two positions in the seep, one with the fully fledge site and other with the free gmb web site? thanks
Super helpful video! We are a service-based company. Currently we have our addresses listed on all our GMB profiles. Is it more advantageous to remove the address and show only the service areas? I also notice that Google has removed many of my service areas, even though I have pages for all of them.
If you're a service area you shouldn't display an address because it's against the guidelines. Having said that, listings with physical addresses tend to rank better than those who don't have a physical address so I wouldn't really change your listings right now.
I'm a service based business in a tourist area (photographer in Sedona, AZ). Most people search for me on Google from another state and find me through the map pack. Any suggestions on how to rank highest in this situation? Or could you do a video about these situations? Thanks, love your videos.
Hi Zach. If people are searching from another state for a "photographer in Sedona" it's not a problem because this is where your business is based therefore you will rank in the map pack. If they search for "photographer near me" however Google will assume the searcher needs a photographer in their location (their state) and show local photographers.
So if a customer wants to have multiple phone numbers on GMB that’s clearly possible. Let’s say they want to put a trackable number so they can see stats on how many calls it got. Which number should be listed first if there is options to add multiple phones? Or should they just remove all of them and just use the trackable one they bought?
What would you suggest for multiple real estate agents in the same agency with the same address- should they all use their home address or the business address in their individual Google Business Profiles. Looking for best practices. One location, multiple entities.
Thanks for the great video! I have a mobile bar cocktail business in Ibiza called Southside Bars, that I am trying to build in the UK now as well. It's a service business, so I don't have a location in the UK although I am based in the South East. Please could you tell me whether i need to create a new google business page for this, or can I include the south east of the UK in my service areas from the business account i have in Ibiza? I don't want to lose my reviews by starting a new account in the UK, but I don't want to lower my rankings by spreading the company too wide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Steve. You'll need to claim an additional listing for your UK business and start building it up (reviews, photos etc...) just like you did with the one in Ibiza
Hi this is such a great video can you show us how to reverse the business listing to show as a service provider and not a physical brick and mortar shop. I did this now I need to take the address out of the GMB and keep it as you said on this video.
@@rankingacademy hi yes I did. I just deleted my address so now it says under business location: No location; deliveries and home services only. Is that how it should be. We are an service provider business
Hey google is continuously not approving my number, even i tried another number, that was also not approved even i have indexed my website with same number, still google is not updating, please help, i am from india
Verifying phone numbers for Indian businesses is a little trickier than everywhere les. Check this thread for more information: support.google.com/business/thread/199145224?hl=en
I sent Google pictures of my business with 2000 square feet and a spray booth for my painting business and they erased my account. I lost everything. This is not fair that they have this Monopoly and they can just make decisions to ruin people's lives

Thanks Mac, appreciate it.
Thanks for the no BS video! Just a questions, when making citations, do we include the address or hide them for service-based businesses?
Depends if you want to show them. A lot of directories will force you to add. it otherwise you won't be able to complete the process
Great and helpful as usual. What about a video about Google reviews by customers that don't appear publically on Google maps / business profile?
Great suggestion! I'll add it to my list
Great video and content. If you have the website link to GMB should I still create one with google profile as you mentioned at the end of this video?
Sorry you've lost me here Gisell

Yes, I did that, many years ago, I'm a service based biz, and I used my UPS box. Suspended, yup!
Sorry to hear

Did not even think about linking our location pages on our service pages or even homepage 😮

Man ! Thanks a lot , You saved my ass over here !
Good to know
So if a customer wants to have multiple phone numbers on GMB that’s clearly possible. Let’s say they want to put a trackable number so they can see stats on how many calls it got. Which number should be listed first if there is options to add multiple phones?
Or should they just remove all of them and just use the trackable one they bought?
You can use multiple numbers. Make the tracking number your primary number and your official number the secondary number
What would you suggest for multiple real estate agents in the same agency with the same address- should they all use their home address or the business address in their individual Google Business Profiles. Looking for best practices. One location, multiple entities.
Each agent should use their home address. If they claim a profile from the same agency their listing will highly likely be filtered out.
Thank You
My pleasure
