Wes, Thank You for all the information you've given! I started my DM Agency in DEC. 2019. I have been able to rank my clients GMB & Websites on the first page of Google, and keep them there for about a year now! They started with no online visibility. I used your video training and had them move to the first page in less than 3 months! To all that need a confirmation ... Yes! Wes knows what it takes to rank on Google! Thanks Wes, keep up the good work! 😃

@PremierAquarium3 жыл бұрын
Any suggestions if the business category options do not fit a niche business? For example: Our business install and service aquariums at customers businesses and homes, google options include: Aquarium (public display type), Aquarium Stores (we are not a retail location), Pet Services (really things like dog training, poop pick up, groomers). Feel like starting out of the gate on the wrong foot.
@WesMcDowellInc3 жыл бұрын
Yea, that's frustrating, but remember, your competition is working with the same disadvantage, meaning, there's really no disadvantage. So it sounds like aquarium store might be the CLOSEST fit, and I might use pet services as a secondary.

How do you fill out hours inGMB when I don’t have set open hours?
@WesMcDowellInc3 жыл бұрын
I assume you don't really have a physical location where people come in? In that case, either put down the general hours that you work/answer phones/emails, etc. Or if that doesn't even apply, you can skip it, but keep in mind, the less complete your listing is, the lesser chance you have of ranking. So its generally best to put SOMETHING in there even if it isn't exact.

Hey, can you elaborate on the different pages for different cities? I live in Tampa Bay and do serve all the various cities that entails. Are you suggesting that I make 5 different homepages?? (homepage clearwater, homepage for St. Pete, etc) or do you just mean Optimize the home page for Clearwater, optimize the info page for St. Pete, etc?? Thank you! I just subscribed - these are too helpful
@WesMcDowellInc3 жыл бұрын
Thx Whitney! You'll want to make location pages for each city + the keyword phrase you wanna rank for. And you basically want to TREAT them like they're homepages - with persuasive text, benefits, etc. Most ppl just treat these pages as afterthoughts but you need to remember this will be the first impression your customers have with your brand... so don't drop the ball on that!

Extremely helpful information as always, Wes! The small agency I work at uses Moz Local to maintain consistent directory listings or "citations" as I think you put it. Would you recommend this as a way of making sure our citations on all the different directories that Moz Local pushes information to stay consistent with what GMB shows.
@WesMcDowellInc3 жыл бұрын
Thanks Dylan! Yea, the thing about citations is that it doesn't really need to be an ongoing effort in most cases. Get as many as you can get, making sure they're as consistent as possible. But you shouldn't need to keep going after it month after month after month. Make sense?

It can. Just anecdotally, ppl do report that their listing got demoted when they no longer had an address to show, even though google denies this. I always recommend showing your address IF you feel comfortable doing so.
