Q&A:

16:49 Question from the Local SEO Community FB Group:I am talking to a prospect that has 2 locations around the same big city, about 20 miles apart. He has 2 GMB's. Both link to the home page, despite him actually having some pretty nice location pages built out.

The main location in the heart of the big city is coming up #1 all over a geogrid. I have not yet checked the other location.

Should I leave the GMBs to point to the homepage if they are doing quite well?

27:34 What are you doing to combat it?

46:26 Have you seen the creation of a GMB site completely replace the companies domain in all the SERPs where the domain was previously ranking #1 for over a year
