If you are doing this for service based business clients how would you suggest going about starting out in terms of setting up a gmail address to do this? ...if you do it through your own gmail address should you have a separate gmail address for all businesses? My thought was to set it up for them and then transfer ownership to them and have them add you on as manager.

@rankingacademy Год назад

I usually create a gmail account for the business and set myself up as a manager. If the client no longer wants to work with me I can give him the details of the account and remove myself from it so he remains the owner of the listing

@AlligatorPools Год назад

Regarding company name - we have a search term ("Pool Services") in our business name and had used it in advertisements and even legally own the name in our state of operation. We got our account suspended so we changed our name to use just the term "Pools" and were reinstated. Is there a way to verify this was the change that got us reinstated? Being a local service provider GMB is critical to our business and we don't want to risk another suspension but would be great to have the search term in our name! Any tips/suggestions on this?

@rankingacademy Год назад

Hard to tell but if that's the only thing you changed It be possible this was the reason you were suspended in the first place. If you legally own the name and have the paperwork for it then make sure you rebrand your marketing material accordingly, that your business citations also include the name, if you run a brick and mortar business make sure outside signage is present and include the term too, then you should be able to use it on your google business profile

@rankingacademy Год назад

Hi Carl Unfortunately you can't prevent edits to a business profile. Google encourages updates and contributions to listings. The only way to combat this is to keep an eye on your listing daily to reject the edits and hope that the owner of the account s who does that gets flagged and any businesses that they are connected to get suspended. Alternatively you can use the legal route and take legal action against an unknown party.

@carl-md1qq Год назад

Excellent video with required infos. Thank you, appreciate your effort. I'm facing a problem with my listing. I went ahead with postcard verification. It's being more than 16 days but postcard didnt arrive. In the meantime "enter code" got replaced with video verification. And that's the only option available. Kindly help me what to do, I'm literally frustrated with this as my business is also getting affected

Make a video

@sologuitardeshchatterjee Год назад

@@rankingacademy thank you so much for the suggestion. It really worked, after making video it is now showing verified. But now the postcard arrived. Is there anything to do? Or I can simply ignore about postcard? Please suggest

I have spoken to Luc in the past, he is incredibly easy to talk with and a wealth of knowledge. He does not give you a cookiecutter response, he listens, analyzes, and is genuinely interested in helping your business in the best way he can. It is pretty obvious with the quality of his videos the dedication he has to helping others to succeed.

Hello, I am trying to set up a google my business account like you showed but I keep getting a weird pop-up that says "Sorry, we are having some issues at the moment. Please try again later." and doesn't let me continue after the first page. Is this normal?

Hi Luke, great videos, i already have a personal google account using my mobile number, and want to create a second google account for my business, if I create a second account it requests my mobile number but it then states I am already using this one. I only have the one mobile i use for both business and personal, is there a way around this?

What do we do if Google only gives us a video verification option but it’s a home-based business and we don’t allow customers to stop by. We choose the option that we don’t have a store front

The key factor to being able to claim a listing is to make in person contact with customers. If your business is exclusively online you won't be eligible to claim a listing.

It may not be available. Certain functionalities are only available to certain type of business. Check some of your competitors to see if they have the booking link implemented on their listing. If not, it's unlikely you have access to it
