You are massively helping my business to rank higher...I watch all your videos and within a month I can see an increase in local enquiries and clicks. I run a security firm in woking. .

[forwardmotiononline]

Great video Luc! Very helpful and thorough. This information is gold. Keep them coming. Thank you!

[barcidstudios]

To me it's actually somewhat terrifying how much of the market google owns, it's not a free market if one company completely dominates 85% on deciding if businesses actually exist.

[numerounoweb]

Amazing tactics for GBP. Had read the key factors information earlier but your insights made it even more valuable. GMB Everywhere and Plepper are amazing.

[henrythomas]

I am learning so much from watching your videos. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing source of information. This one is quite helpful.

Another excellent video, thank you so much!

[brandnewpromotx]

Thank you for the video. How can I see those colored dots when I do my research pulling up my business? Ex: Time 0:15-0:20

[yoosafularshad]

From my personal experience only giving blank reviews doesnt work but when the review includes mentions and keyword relating to the business it helps in ranking up the local seo profile

[lloyd-brc]

Great video, straight to the point with expert tips! I have a question, if you were to try and rank a business that offers a wide range of services is it sometimes better to split this into multiple google listings? E.g. a Medical Clinic that offers dental services, psychology, acupuncture and much more!

[CharliePonders]

This was so helpful! Implementing today!

I'm a commercial photographer. In my GMB there are services and categories. How should we structure these? For example, My categories are: Photographer, Portrait Studio, Photography Studio, Photography Service, Arial Photographer, Commercial Photographer. The pre populated services alco include aerial photography, commercial photographer, studio portraits, and many others.

Should Services be repeated under each Category?

Should I add pre-populated Services that are also listed as a Categories?

Thanks, your Google Business Profile videos are fantastic.

[MultiServicesCA]

Bravo. And thank you for encouraging. Thant's what I was thinking. I think it's better to get a new dba with your current business name and add forward slash and category name. To be save.

[alecsliemers]

Hi, great content! How do I add keywords to my Google business profile. I want to rank for certain keywords and am sitting in the 4-6 spots with better reviews than competitors.

[scriiv]

⭐A Ton of value, went straight away to update some things on my BP!

[cheskacheskie]

Thank you so much for this information

[jessicacramer]

Have just watched your videos for the last 4 hours- incredible!! thank you for sharing your valuable insights! I've had a GBP question for years now, so I have to ask. For home businesses that choose the "hide address" option and just do a service area, is it better to keep this option or put in "something" in the address field- like use city name for street address? I've seen a few listings do this, but always wondered if it was ok. Also, for the pre-selected services- should we delete the ones that aren't a perfect match for our business? Or is more better, no matter how they match up?

Do these methods replace expensive SEO tools like Ahrefs?

[teambushhomesoldguaranteed]

Do you know how to get the Google Business Q&A on mobile? We want to share a link to our client base to ask them to go to our profile and leave us a question, but we are only finding that this is available on the desktop and not accessible on mobile.
