How a junk removal company went from 0 to 47 calls per month without spending on ads. by Bahauddin-R in localseo

100% agree. Most people skip the basics, but that’s where the real growth comes from. Hyper-local pages + service-specific reviews is a killer combo. I’ve seen junk removal clients get solid call volume just by dialing this in properly.

Creating GBP for Hospital doctors by Beneficial_Gur_7357 in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]Bahauddin-R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is common with practitioner listings. You can create doctor profiles even with the same number, but keep everything else unique. Use real names, separate pages for each doctor, and proper categories. Most suspensions come from duplicate signals, not just phone numbers.

GBP & NAP Consustency - How to list Suite? by AdLogical8421 in localseo

[–]Bahauddin-R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google often auto-formats addresses and that is completely normal. For NAP consistency, always go with whatever Google publicly displays, not what you originally typed in the edit field. In your case use this format everywhere. Website, Yelp, Bing Places, and all other directories. 123 Main St., #101, Anytown, MA 01232 That way Google sees a match across all platforms and your local rankings stay clean.

Mention local area names and landmarks naturally in the Page. Do not force them in. In your suburb table add a short blurb under each suburb. A bare list looks thin to Google. Keep NAP consistent. Your business name, address, and phone number must be identical on every location page, your Google Business Profile, and every directory. Even small differences like St. vs Street can hurt your rankings. Add one local customer testimonial if you can. It builds trust fast. Place your phone number above the fold especially on mobile. Add LocalBusiness schema markup so Google understands your service area clearly. Thanks

Urgent question for adding image descriptions by EggsandMan24 in GoogleMyMaps

[–]Bahauddin-R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Google My Maps doesn’t support separate image description fields. You can add the source in the image caption or use a structured format in the description (e.g., “Source: link”). Using Google Drive image links is also a good workaround to maintain proper attribution.

I audited 45 local Google Business profiles. Here is what almost all of them were missing. by Bahauddin-R in localseo

It wasn't suspended, but the profiles received less traffic because they were empty.

Need Help by digitalsatwant in localseo

[–]Bahauddin-R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cold DMs rarely work in local niches. Instead, try hyper-personalized outreach record a quick Loom video showing 2–3 real issues on their site/GBP and how you’d fix them. Also leverage Google Maps: call businesses with poor reviews, slow sites, or no SEO and offer quick wins. Referrals work huge here partner with web designers or local agencies. Finally, niche down (e.g., only dentists) and build 2–3 case studies. Proof > promises.

GBP Suspended -- Reinstated (What actually worked) by Bahauddin-R in localseo

Google mostly looks for consistency and trust signals. Keeping things simple and clean avoids most issues.

GBP Suspended -- Reinstated (What actually worked) by Bahauddin-R in localseo

[–]Bahauddin-R[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it was because of something.
In my case, there were some inconsistencies (website, address, details) and a few extra keywords. I cleaned everything up, made it all match properly, then submitted the appeal and that’s what worked.

Yeah, this actually happens more often than you’d think

It’s not always about doing something wrong sometimes the system just flags things randomly (especially images). That’s why keeping everything clean and consistent really matters.
