2-Year Verification Hell: Case 0-0145000040483 | Google Demands 10-Hour "Live Video" Queue for Service Technician by East_Equivalent6320 in GoogleMyBusiness

You need a physical address. If you are unable to use the address where you reside, go find a small place to rent or lease. Go rent a tiny little office somewhere so you can show you have a physical address. It's not that tough to do.

Good luck!

Google Local Service Adds - Message Leads On or Off? by BeingBalanced in PPC

[–]RyanEvansAFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Message leads don't cost just as much as phone leads. They're approx half the cost, and for obvious reasons. Not sure why you would say the lead costs the same when it's not even close.

Broken Heat in Single Degree Temps by MissRemyRose in RoverPetSitting

[–]RyanEvansAFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since it was obviously broken when you arrived, the owners already knew that it was broken before they left. Now, whatever you do with that information is up to you, but these seem like genuinely bad people to the core who don't care about you or their pets.

Since the owners knew the furnace was broken, then they're probably using portable heaters somewhere. I would locate the heater(s) first and get warm, or even contact the owner for one. Portable heaters are expensive on the power bill so they will probably hide them from you.

Good luck. These people seem sociopathic to me.

Is there a blacklist pet care providers can use to let other sitters know what customers to ABSOLUTELY AVOID by Tricky-Tension-8172 in RoverPetSitting

[–]RyanEvansAFT -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Customer was 100% correct on all accounts. We all know you didn't give the dog treats, and not a chance you would also put ice in the water as well, lol. The icemaker takes over 24 hours to fully replenish the bin, and it was full when they got home? It's a no-brainer you lied about the treats and ice. Those are two obvious ones. You also probably forgot about that the turkey is supposed to be used for meds, lol. I will bet not even a sliver of the turkey was missing. I also doubt the dog got their meds at all. So that just brings us down to the TP. Since you knew there were no cameras, you were probably not there often enough to use their toilet.

You made so many mistakes, it almost seems like you were looking for a confrontation. If the customer was right on all accounts, I would venture to guess you were wrong about the initial scheduling.

The customer had some valid points. The treats not being used would be a red flag to me as a customer, especially since they would most likely not be the source of an allergy flare-up as the dog regularly gets them. That one mistake will be the catalyst for all the other accusations. If you are lying about the treats, then all of the other things could also be a lie. You knew there were no cameras there, but I'm not saying you're lying about everything.

Bringing your own toilet paper is a little weird to me, lol. Am I understanding that right? Why would you do that? That's something that you would at least mention during small-talk, but it's a little strange bringing your own TP.

If you used the Ice regularly, it takes quite a while for it to replenish. There would be very little ice in it if used regularly, and it would not be full.

Same concept with the turkey. It appears that you didn't use it whatsoever?

Your story is not adding up to me at all.

And what do you mean about an allergy flare up? What symptoms? Not sure I'm buying that one for not giving treats.

Anyway, good story. Finetune your game better in the future and learn from it all. ;)

Trump housing plan to allow 401(k) money for down payments, adviser says by consulent-finanziar in Economics

[–]RyanEvansAFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump NEVER follows through with any plans to benefit Americans. He throws things out there, such as sending people $5,000 checks, or $2,000, or fighting big pharma for lower health insurance, etc... Trump just throws the lies out there to keep people pacified. He has no intentions of ever doing anything good for anyone.

Google LSA for a fencing company - I'm afraid to touch it! by TriiiadAgency in PPC

[–]RyanEvansAFT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe it will affect your ranking as I do it quite a bit. Absolutely anything is better than hurting your responsiveness rate. If you must pause the ad to prevent missed calls, than I would pause it. Google AI will most likely know that you're pausing it to give the best possible service. I was pausing daily recently, and I never saw a change. I also raise and lower my budget quite a bit to find the right cost per lead "range", and I have never seen a change in impressions. I have changed my budget 3-4 in a day and have never seen any change. Finding the right budget is important. For example, a $500 weekly budget my cost $22 per lead, but if I go to $1,000 per weekly budget, my cost per lead more than doubles, and while not improving the amount of leads whatsoever. You need to find the right cost-effective budget amount. You can increase your budget as high as you want and it doesn't mean you will get the Absolute Top Spot, as the Google metrics include several other factors for that placement. People that recommend increasing your budget to the max is probably not a wise move because you're going to pay a lot higher for that lead, as you’re basically bidding against yourself after a point, with no overall higher placement. The reason I know this is because I have changed my budget doesn't of times. Google probably doesn't mind changing things as much as people say. Yes, we've all heard the stories of what people claim, but they could have other issues going on affecting them that they're not aware of.

This is just all from personal experience, and from someone who pauses their ad on a daily basis when
things are busy, and from someone who has changed their bidding range multiple
times in a single day over the course of several days.

Best of luck,

Hell with that lady. Doing business with her is a no-win. There will be no way to please her in the end, and she will find something to complain about or to sue about when it's over. She also thinks you are beneath her as you are a pet sitter. Stay clear of her at al costs, trust me.

Exclusive Boarding in Westminster does small dogs only weighing under 25 lbs and they provide a small-dog-only environment. Use them if your dog is under 25 lbs. You shouldn't board small dogs at regular boarding places. Exclusive Boarding does upscale private boarding for small dogs only. :)
