Q&A
14:00 Do you think reviews in Google my business with keywords help increase prominence in Google?
16:00 I had some downward movement on Local campaigns. Your crew is doing an audit for me (I’m coming to the end of a GMB accelerated and for the first time the numbers dropped on the grid)?
17:56 Regarding the GEO Grid, what are the best strategies/tactics to expand your coverage area? (Aka, more green further away from GMB)
23:40 In addition to the tips on ranking, what do you see working for the best conversion rates once people land on the website?
26:26 Would also love to hear your best tips on CTR optimization. I have a couple of clients that are getting a lot of impressions but the CTR isn’t what we want.

34:05 Would your mini-network help with the off-page portion of that strategy?
