Hi Luc, I hope you're doing well! I'm experiencing an issue with my Google My Business rankings. While I currently rank first in a broader area like St. Tammany, I find myself dropping to eighth when searching for my business in a specific location within that area, such as Mandeville. I appreciate any insights you might have on how to improve this. Thanks
We have given up. I have a negative review and a company is trying to extort us to remove it. It clearly violated google policy. Despite hours of opening and escalating cases, google could care less. These reviews are clearly unreliable.
gold content as alwyas, I have one question though, I was alywas afraid to replay to nigtive review because I feel like google might give it a little bit hidden "authority" seeing as I have helped that review by getting replayied at.
I'm guessing that connecting social accounts works the same?...or is that connected to the organic social in GA4 channel? (awesome video. All this time all I had to do was reorder haha. much thanks!!)
That's a good question. I'm not sure this will work with your social media link because if visitors don't end up on your website it won't be tracked by GA
If you have set up up correctly it should show. Just give it 24 hours and check if you can see it in the normal reports. If it does show it means you've set it up right
I have a client wanting to open multiple locations internationally. The listing we are focusing on is based in a co-working office, but they pay for their own private office space within the building. Will Google auto-flag this location because there is already a company operating as a co-working?
Do you offer a service by chance I just set mine up and immediately was suspended I then appealed with business license and waited then finally then they sent me a denial email
I don't know what I did wrong to begin with!!! Decision • Business Profile disabled Business Profile doesn't exist "To keep data on Google as accurate as possible, Google uses information from different sources such as user reports and licensed content. If we determine that your business doesn't exist in the location you claim, Google will disable your profile." What does this mean? I have a catering business with a service area and not an address so how can it be that it doesn't exist in the location?
I didn't think Google Analytics cookies were classed as ‘strictly necessary’ under PECR exemption? e.g. When installing GA4 on your "London" example company shouldn't you also advise installing a cookie consent plugin as well? If so do you have any recommendations, preferably for one that includes separate "Video Player" cookie consent like the one used on the I.C.O. (Information Commissioner's Office) website?
You're right, and I should have included that in the tutorial. I believe Cookiebot, Complianz, and OneTrust all offer video player options, though I’m not entirely sure since I'm not an expert on the subject.
@@rankingacademy Thanks I'll have a look at those 👍- "Cookie Control" by Civic as used on the ICO website was too complex to set up & was only free for personal use. > I'm not an expert on the subject. Me neither - I learned a little after coming across a company direct marketing their "compliance services" by warning that any website which didn't follow EU cookie policy would be liable to a fine & implying they would report them to the ICO - it led to a few folks I know removing all analytics from their sites. The crazy thing was that most had only ever installed GA because "everyone has it", or because they didn't realise that the basic info they wanted was freely available via their hosting control panel - and with no need to jump through any legislative hoops Re. cookie compliance, OR analytics Co.s passing & storing data outside the EU / etc. etc.
I am looking for people who share the same story as mine. Google suspended my business for nothing after 5 years of everything being just fine. I have the news coming here in a week and I would like to show them other stories. We get no help. We get no phone numbers. We get no email address for help. We get no chat option. This is not fair, and damn it, I'm going to change it. ABC news is coming to interview me, and I also spoke to senators. Google should not have this much power over the local economies. Google is the only game in town for getting customers, and they do not play fair.
I completely understand and share your frustration, Jamey. It's truly disheartening to see all the hard work you've put into building an online presence vanish without a valid reason. I've had clients in the same situation, and it severely impacted their business. While I get that Google needs to maintain the quality of its results, the lack of direct support can be incredibly infuriating.
Great video! Can responses to Google Business Profile reviews be automated using any AI software you know of? This would be so handy for my clients if I can implement a solution like this as i can save them time. Thank you!
I don't know if you use a software to manage your client's profile but SEM rush has a feature that automates review responses. You don't have anything to do. As soon as a review is posted, the response is generated automatically
@@rankingacademy yes im looking for software to manage multiple clients Google Business Profiles. I will look at your recommendations of whitespark and SEM rush - want to be effective as possible with reduced time. Your videos are helping me a lot to understand fundamentals and software is next step :)

Thank you for the feedback! While this may seem basic to you, it can be quite valuable for those just starting out. I’m always open to any suggestions you might have.
Do you know if google groups the years for example 5+ 7+ 10+ years etc? I cannot find anywhere online that would tell me. I have a business that's been open 9 years but shows as 7+ so I am curious.
its showing no ways to verify. earlier i had unloaded video. then it showed to verify on video call. i tried multiple times, but couldn't connect on video call. i am ready for video call or uploading, but no option is showing.
