Q&A:
11:52 All USA OR any Canadian sites for the Press Releases?
37:22 Were those GMBs that dropped using names with a dash like " name - geo" or words like "name in geo"
41:38 Did the CTR test do anything?
44:36 Lost ranking for a site that's brand is like "City Commercial Cleaners" ("City" being the actual word "City" and NOT the city name). I wondered if that was hurting them too. Being too generic, keyword-rich, even though it is their actual company name.
46:25 Is it most ideal to set up a general location page or do you recommend geo+kw pages as the primary location page?
50:48 Can you tell me, how to index citation links currently it’s getting really hard to index them naturally in Google/ using the indexer tool.
55:21 Reviews seem to be a GMB rankers these days?
59:25 GMB Spam Fighting as an SEO service for clients? Thoughts?
1:00:50 What happens if a business on GMB moves to a new location that needs re-verification? Does the existing map with rankings get de-indexed during the verification process?
