Good information. : Last 15 days gmb asking add logo your business 85% message showing. I already added my logo and cover photos again I add 15 times but I couldn't solve the issue. Can u check once your side in GMB???

[deadringer]

Hi Zane, Thanks for all your informative videos. Do you think I will get banned if I add a few keywords to my business name? I see a lot of the competition doing this especially in the property sector, and they never seem to get removed, even though it's against Google policy guidelines ?

Dear sir
Thank you for the precious information
can i adjust my business name after verification?

[Caralaramay]

Great video thank you so much!! I have a question - I can’t get my GMB profile pages to complete to 100% it’s stuck on 80% and keeps asking for a logo which I have already loaded. What am I doing wrong? Thank you 🙏

Sir, love from India!

I have a veterinary clinic in, India! But I provide my services to different parts of my city. This year I am going to launch my second veterinary clinic in the same city at a distance of about 13km. Sir do I need to make one more GMB account for my second business or is there any function in GMB to host new expanded business?

Thank you!

I am in the US and I have done the video toolkit. The video completed but it will not load on GMB page. Is this something else I can do?

[benmonter]

Is it for physical locations only? I can’t find my business.

How do I get google to recognise that my business is a UK 🇬🇧 company and not a US company. My domain ends in .co.uk
