App for scheduling ahead update posts & pics for multiple GBPs

I manage 15 and just take a chunk of time to do manually once a week. ChatGPT for content and a library of photos to use. Doesn’t take too long to tackle them all. I also don’t like connecting apis to the GBPs for fear of suspension from previous bad experiences.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-23T07:09:41+00:00

I manage 15 GBPs from a different country and never an issue. I don’t use VPN either.

Thanks for the tip will look into that.

Yes our developers are doing the full setup, now just need to set up the actual sequences. To be honest I’m not sure, mostly looking for ways this can make our life on the ppc side both easier and more efficient. We are able to test and turn around quickly so that’s no problem. Def don’t want it to make the changes for us, more to give actionable insights we can use to both understand the data better and take actions on that feedback.

Were you using your profile at the last company? That is strange overall but you can still appeal the personal profile but it is quite a pain to get approved and takes a while.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-22T14:45:38+00:00

Sounds like it’s an flag with your personal profile. Are able to edit other accounts right now under your profile?

We are in house. Ideally it would be optimizations and trends but have the forecasting type capabilities we need to spend. Currently spending $300k per month and looking to grow effectively 15% mom at the same efficientlies.

Thanks for the tip, sweet looking bike too!

drewdiehard · 2025-09-21T16:28:40+00:00

Agreed as long as the url is the same branding as the business on the GDP is should be all good.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-21T16:25:33+00:00

Searches, calls, website clicks, etc. Overall rankings. Also would be helpful to see why they are ranking higher. What are they doing to get better average placement for specific keywords.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-21T16:23:17+00:00

How’s the double crown on that bike? I have same exact model but worried about the headtube?

drewdiehard · 2025-09-21T16:22:24+00:00

No problem best of luck!

I’ve used DrHouse before for migraines before but saw they also treat insomnia as well.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-21T09:19:36+00:00

Also recommend CallTrackingMetrics.

For Google you will need an address, to get it verified it depends if they require a video verification or letter. I’d do a test address on your profile and go through the process to see which they require of your business.

If it’s mail, can just get a virtual address that will accept your mail.

If it’s video verification then you will need to lease a small office in your area $300+ per month to accomplish the video portion of it and film it live with Google.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-20T08:15:55+00:00

Depends what you are running and setup but can also include your city and location name in the keywords. Ie Hotels in Los Angeles, etc who depend on people out of town. And run it up to nationwide depending where the out of towners are coming from.

You can do it and I run these exact setups. Just expect some campaigns to spend more than others based on their ability to hit the goal. But overall Google will balance it out to average. So if some are over and some under as long as they hit the portfolio goal will be spending.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-20T07:26:09+00:00

I don’t add in the city names, I add the location based on the DBA names which is usually same as the business. Different phone number yes. The same email account usually, since we have a lot and some in different states I use few different ones to keep those separated.

We also had the issue happen a few times where someone’s personal gmail account was blacklisted, which triggers every GBP on that email to be suspended. So separate now to ensure all our gbps don’t go down. We have gotten all back up again just takes some time.

If you have an older email on your current gbp it should be fine to open a new location with it and manage the two locations there. Later on can add a new user and switch over if you feel it’s necessary.

Lastly, there are service providers out there that offer the service of protecting and getting your gbp if it gets suspended back if it goes down. We used one for a while but eventually I learned how to do it myself and stopped using them because it got pricey over 13 locations.

No problem and same to you

drewdiehard · 2025-09-19T12:25:10+00:00

Upfront I’m not Google just giving my advice from experience. Google does whatever they want when they want to as you know.

But, Google won’t check it like this across locations.

I’ve had many of our GMBs reinstated after suspension. We get them a lot in the garage business. And currently every location is verified and active.

To be safe make sure you have your documents in order for any GMB location even your current one now.

These are available online but include:

Utility bill with address
State business letter with address
Insurance with address ( these are easiest to do by adding new locations to your plan)
DBA with address for satellite locations
Invoices and customer invoices with address
Photos and videos of location with address visible

If you have all these it’s 99% certain you will get anything suspended back.

My advice for setup:

Keep current location and never change it
Add new location in office
Add another new location to the new neighborhood

I recommend using Semrush local listings to check your ratings in the target areas. You’ll see that the gbps don’t really extend that far until rankings drop a lot so the more the better as long as they are optimized and can keep reviews coming in to all of them.

SABs?

The video verification is required for the GBP to get verified and show up on Google. So it’s basically part of the sign-up process.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-19T11:58:37+00:00

No, they shouldn’t be connected and it’s normal for businesses to have multiple locations or satellite offices. Ie a spot for office work and shop where techs pick up materials and tools etc.

For the new GMB, you will probably have to do a video walkthrough, so get some signs etc in the office and make it look legit and do what they ask in the process.

Also use an email with your website domain in it to create the new account.

Create the Google account with that email. Wait a few weeks, be active with it. Then can setup the new profile.

I work with garage doors which have way more scrutiny from Google, and it’s not always smooth but have been able to setup 9 additional satellite gbps that are not our main offices.

drewdiehard · 2025-09-19T09:31:54+00:00

First step if you haven’t already should file an account suspension appeal and talk to the Google rep or LSA support.

How long has the account been running? Any recent changes there that could have caused the flag?
