SEO Q&A

45:35 I have a keyword "pros + target kw + city" that was used as an anchor. It represents 70% of my backlinks anchors or about 300 backlinks. My competitor's anchor text ratio is 80% branded or naked anchors. I'm sitting in positions 10-20 for money keywords. I would like to boost the rankings of this old site.

Does using exact match anchors, even more, will affect negatively the rankings? and what would you do in my position?

SEO Q&A

31:21 We have a site where we are seeing more and more low-level (DR 0) links showing up. Mostly these links are to photos on the site. It's definitely having an effect on our site rankings.

Is this some sort of new competitor attack? And if so, any suggestions on how to defend against it? I don't want to go disavow all these sites because I'm sure it will leave a huge hole in Google's graph, which would cause even more damage. Not sure how to handle this one...

35:50 How important is it to have accurate NAP on my website and other places where I build links?

Our previous guy did some link-building after that we changed our location. So now I can’t find him to edit them.

What’s the solution?

SEO Q&A

49:44 I'm having trouble trying to rank the landing pages on a client's website for "keyword in city". The towns I'm targeting are all very small with sometimes 0 competition for that keyword.

a lot of pages never even got indexed
some previously indexed pages are now starting to get de-indexed
the content was manually written (no AI content)
URL structure: website.com/locations/city-name

Does the "build a landing page for each location" approach still work in local SEO like it used to for new sites or was there a change that I am unaware of?

I have a couple of old sites with that URL structure that I have successfully ranked with this approach and that are still ranking well, but I haven't built a new site like that in a while.

Any feedback is appreciated.

SEO Q&A

18:42 I have a trucking client (my brother) that is in trouble with Penske (national company), where he has some trucks leased and serviced because somehow his name, "Gbyrd yard," got added to Penske's GMB. I know you can suggest an edit, but when I do that, I noticed the name is in the first line of the address field. Any thoughts, tips, or suggestions on how we can get this fixed??? Also, I have NEVER used this "Penske" address within his GMB or even set up his GMB yet...doing that soon. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated so I can get this FIXED ASAP.

28:03 I have a locksmith service site. One of the automotive services we offer is Car Key Replacement.

I have a page for car key replacement.

I have each page linked to the main Car key Replacement page and 6 other automotive services pages, Ignition replacement and car unlocking service.

Should I interlink the page with each other, or I should not?

40:40 What would you do for a GBP ranking around 4 or 5 for its main keyword to push it up into the 3 pack?

Should we merge all 3? Or "close" 2 and keep 1?

Google has suspended each one and states they are ineligable for Google maps. We have filed DBA’s and google will not allow them to go live. What is the safest way to create new SAB’s without getting imediatly flagged. Should we use a seperate email for each new GMB as we stand them up and consolidate through localviking.

28:24 Do you ever hotlink POI Images from Google?

38:23 I have a friend/realtor who is not able to get a google my business because she runs her realty group [compass realty] INSIDE another brokerage firm [ULTIMA REALTY] The agent my friend has been in communication with google even over the phone and google keeps saying because of the fact her ERRORS AND OMISSIONS insurance says she Works for Compass Realty which is a dba of Ultima realty. So as far as google is concerned, they are indexing ULTIMA REALTY AT that specific address I was thinking, she should get a virtual address in the town and work towards moving that google my business into the 3-pack. What would you say?

42:40 How do you know if you have an Agency Account OR Not?

SEO Q&A

17:33 I have a client that previously set up 2 GMB’s for his business with slightly different spellings for both businesses. He also created 2 websites for both, however, one of the websites inner pages are all pointed to the original site. Both offices are about 50 miles apart, so they are serving 2 different areas. Should he just rename one of the GMBs to the original name and get rid of the secondary home page and add a service area page instead?

31:40 Should every GMB Posting post contain new content all the time. Does it hurt alot to use the same 2-3 times

35:08 Are you still finding geo-tagging on images in GMB posts to work on areas where you want to rank?

38:54 We’ve noticed that some businesses lose their Google Guaranteed badge/checkmark on certain days and their LSA profile gets “”demoted”” further down the LSA results. Is this caused by them exhausting their set budget or maxing out on the leads they want to get from LSA?

Q&A:

24:55 Has anyone seen big drops in map views and searches in your GMB and this is with all my clients. They are all still ranking great but it looks like Google is cleaning some backend stuff up. Any thoughts?

41:50 I wonder how this will affect brand searches if employees are searching just to make edits?

51:30 a theme I am working with now has 2 sets of menus (HTML code has the URL for the navigation menu in the header twice) one for desktop and one for mobile. will this impact the rankings? as in the source code has more “words” containing keywords. any tests that can offer an idea? or should I run Cora or POP to see if this is a no-no or not? thank you

55:38 what schema would you use on a site like Zillow – a real estate portal site? the same as for a real estate agency?

59:08 In your GMB listing, for a service-based business, does it matter, for SEO purposes, what categories would you upload your photos to?

1:03:01 how do you appear in predictive suggested search in Google with a little logo?

1:03:28 Would you say that branded searches are more beneficial to product searches rather than service-related businesses?

34:03 Is anyone else seeing long-term rank drops from the June algorithm update? A couple GMBs with nothing spammy going on had drastic drops and since are struggling to recover.

Q&A:

9:56 Do you know if it's possible to get a due follow link from my maps? Or did Google close that one? Is it still worth getting?

25:02 Chaz - I'm linking my social profiles, my press releases, and my guest posts, should i link "web20" links? the links I find when i do a brand search?

30:10 AP News - Is This US Specific?

33:09 Chaz - I've looked at some past posts from you (Web20Ranker) regarding CTR manipulation. In some you indicate that it's legit, and it's something that web20ranker.com does, and in others you say it's overrated, can you clarify?

47:28 Tier 2 links. How many tier 2 links to a GP and what metric do you use to decide how many you link to a GP; DR? RD? Traffic? Keywords?

49:24 I have 3 websites, 2 of them i've used ALL of your GMB services (they were all pieced together), for my third website, what service/option is there to encompass all of them?

51:47 A client has a car rental company near the Toronto airport (despite the airport address actually being in the connecting city of Mississauga). The client has an affiliation with a European vehicle rental company too. The problem is...a) my client's GMB address is in "Mississauga". b) the affiliate also has a GMB at the exact same address as our client - but with " - Toronto" added to the GMB name. If I search the area for "car rental mississauga" or even "car rental" my client comes up. But if I search for "car rental toronto" the European affiliate comes up. I'd rather my client show up for "car rental toronto" since that is a way more popular kw. Anything I can do to help get my client showing up for "car rental toronto" related kws?

1:06:09 Speaking of YouTube when you put on the subtitles on your videos do you think Google is picking that wording up for keywords?

1:08:47 Do you take a different approach ranking a local service business that is commercial only? But that does 0 residential?

1:14:40 Is there any value in doing multi-language websites if you live on the border?

Q&A

8:11 in GMB is a mobile service-based business better off having a fixed address that services x amount of areas or just have it as a serviced area business with no fixed address. Will either option make it rank better or in more areas?

Q&A:

17:48 Hey hey. I have a question. I just acquired a new client. They are in the mortgage industry and have a GMB called Arizona Lending Group. When you type in "Arizona Lending Group" into Google, their business GMB doesn't show up and their website URL doesn't show up on the first page either. They launched both their website and GMB about 4 months ago. They have done almost zero SEO. My question is, how can their business name/website URL/GMB show up at the top of Google when you type in their business name into Google? I'm guessing domain age, proper indexing, and GMB optimization might play a factor. I plan on outsourcing their GMB SEO to you guys, so maybe you guys can look into it more when I send all the details. thanks, guys!

23:25 is there any way of preventing others from suggesting an edit to our GMB listing?

26:00 I'm seeing Google Map listings in some local searches with only 2 results in the Maps area... Is this something new? Are they gonna slowly roll out the Google 3 pack?

30:50 1 More ..... Have a client. I have a strange one here.. Maybe someone can give some insight. When I go to the 3 pack for my GMB I don't show up, however when I click more I show number #3 yet I'm not #3 in the 3 pack on the Google search page

35:49 hey, I have a client where an employee moved the pin with his personal email. I fixed it in the GMB but he isn't showing on google anymore. it does 2 things show driving directions or if I misspell it will show him. any ideas. he already had a gstack.

39:37 Are citations still effective in ranking a GMB? How about using the CID as the web link? Any benefits? Also how important are citations with spun content? Is Google getting pickier about citation descriptions now? Are NAPs with a copy/paste description not enough anymore?

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

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?

Google is shifting towards more authoritative and trustworthy brands, Google is attempting to get rid of spam listings
You must have a "consistent" presence online for Google to even verify you on GMB

Seeing improvements in listings that have built said brands
"Quick fixes" will usually lead to a suspension or filtering
Google considers putting "city" names in your listings as "keyword stuffing"; overall this is not a "good" "quick fix"

Q&A:

24:51 If you are doing working for a GMB national company do you stay away from putting all of USA as the service areas

30:10 Would it be a good idea to remove the phone numbers that are on my existing posts?

33:45 If a GMB location had a lot of citations to it, and another business came into that office/suite, does the new business have to get all of those old citations deleted for it to rank well for the new business

41:29 Do you think putting the phone number in the title tag will hurt the brand?

Q&A:

12:35 I manage a website that’s ranking number one for the main keywords - the owner wants to make some changes to the homepage.

15:45 What's the latest on naming GMBs (for results, not what Google says) for city modifiers? I've always jammed the city name in with good results - has anything drastically changed in the last couple of months with that?

17:48 Client with 3 locations has the same phone number. would you change to unique or leave them the same?

20:25 Moving from Hubspot to WordPress. Can you recommend a service that can do that?

21:30 Do you think years in business have any better results in rankings?

23:58 How can I find the address for a service location if I don't know where the postcard was sent?

27:22 What software are you using for CTR?

30:50 I use your link building service, custom signals, google stacks, authority stacks, pbn links, geo network, and link building service, what’s the next level next step?

35:20 Is it safe to point Web20 Mini Networks to main website page?

45:55 Competitor research is extremely important and time-consuming. Any chance of Web20 offering in-depth competitor research deliverables a la cart in the future?

49:35 What is the best use of PBN Map Embeds?

10:20 Where on the greyscale from White Hat to Black Hat do you consider your SEO services such as advanced GMB or Mini Networks (small PNBs) etc.?

14:06 I've read that Google gives less weight to nav, footer, and sidebar links for obvious reasons, do you also recommend listing them in the body for full internal linking benefits or is sidebar fine?

19:04 Has anybody noticed that when you're changing stuff in your GMB and you're on the mobile app Google my business it gets updated faster then say you were on your computer or laptop?

35:40 When building service page silos, do you like to internally link within the context to all other services, only to related services, or none to keep the silo tight and retain the link equity?

44:58 SEO Mad Scientist: CTR Test Update

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.

28:45 How much do you think Web Core Virtuals will affect SEO moving forward.

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

35:35 I changed my primary category and now last in the map pack for the old term. Revert?

37:52 Where do you see the Google Local Algo going/evolving in the future?

42:18 Can those Points of Interest citations be social citations?

42:56 Should you build citations, web 2.0’s and another online branding before creating the GMB listing?

46:50 Thoughts on GMB Messaging feature

32:55 SEO Mad Scientist Update: Closing multiple tests this Week

Q&A

11:50 The rollout of the custom signals as a stand-alone service has brought with it a whole bunch of options. When you add custom signals onto a campaign, those options are not available. Q1. Will those options be available when you add them to a campaign? Q2. Can you go into any more detail about those add-ons? I was pricing out a campaign for a client in NYC, so I was adding as much juice to it as I could. That was when I noticed all the new options for custom signals. A little more info would be awesome.

50:10 Has anyone else starting to see Page Experience in the search console?

52:06 My friend has a newer gun shop with a gmb, no website. Tons of messaging from prospects come in. People asking if stuff is in stock usually.

57:08 Have you tested if having gmb messaging switched on vs off has an effect on rankings?

1:02:15 CTR manipulation works for local SEO not sure for maps tho.

Is it good to get a separate website and fake GMB for that new location?
