Thanks for making this. Your video was mostly a refresher for me, but it gave me some new ideas. I’m going to use my 3rd party appointment url as the appointment link. I add a UTM parameter to separate the GMB visits from regular organic Google visits in Google Analytics. I disabled the messaging feature because I was getting too much spam, but I may ask clients if they want to use it. For e-commerce stores, would you recommend adding the products on GMB with a link to the product page?

Hi Tom. Thanks for watching. Yes I would add a link to the product page.

That was the most comprehensive tutorial I've ever wathed on any subject. Lot's of new tips and info I had no idea about. I was surprised learning that the listing's description has zero effect on ranking. I thought that it was there where you add the most important keywords for your profile. And the question arises, if not there where? Where do we add keywords in GBP?

@rankingacademy Жыл бұрын

The only place where you can add keywords to help rankings is in your business name. Anywhere else will be a waste of time. For more info on this topic watch this short video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqugeMWKlp2bY4U.html

GREAT content as always Luc - Another Masterclass! Question you may be able to answer for me. If I am to dedicate some time each month to "push reviews" for a client as part of an overall service I provide to them currently and lets say that day I am proactively requesting customers to give the business a review & they start getting a number of reviews in on the same day, does google have a "review limit" which they look at as " review spam". I don't want to do the hard work to end up getting penalised because of the amount of reviews I got in though my hard work? Thanks in advance.

Try getting some links from somewhere that point to your site. If you have a google listing hopefully it links to your site. Try other popular directories to. Google will crawl those sites and eventually yours.

Great video! For the business locations I was thinking of getting an office with its own suite number that has a common area with shared front desk staff, and does receive customers at that location. Are you saying this won’t rank? So if I don’t have signage then GMB will not rank that office? Does the signage have to be exterior or interior? We would have signage on the door where it’s allowed.
