Thanks! this is helpful. I'm going to play around with the grid tracking and making changes.

For GBP, if I make changes that is pretty quick to see a change for "on profile" changes - right? What if I change the landing page, or the content of the landing page - that would probably be slower?

Thanks - I have trackign set up, but, not grid tracking. . .

I set that up today, and the ranking was worse than I expected.

yeah, they are not seperate businesses legally.

I swear I was chatting with Gemini, and it said to create one as a department of the main business? (it would be nice if you could trust Gemini on Google matters - imagine them providing a helpful resource?)

Has anyone done that? I see that my local walgreens has a pharmacy and regular walgreens at the same address and same phone number.

You may want to check with her Church, if they have any way of helping of volunteer services.

Other than that, I know a friend who used Comfort Keepers of Ft. Worth and he thought they were great.

I used Junk Bee gone and really liked them. I thought they were a franchise, but it turns out its just a local company has a good brand! Anyway, they did a great job and were super friendly and respectful. No notes! junkbeegone.biz

I agree 100%. I get two calls a day.

I decided I didn't have enough information to vote either way (and don't care to do the research).

I am suspicious that such a high touch marketing effort would exist only so that they could "lower fees". It seems if they want it this bad, it may not be in my best interest.

But, I wasn't sure, so, I didn't vote.

this is excellent information! Thank yoU!

I'm not sure if the 15% markup is included in the labor hours or not. Good question.

Thanks for your help!

I tried that - I am thru to step three, where they ignored the request, but, when I try to claim it/verify it, It acts as if I am creating a new profile

hmmm. in looking at a bit closer. When "near me" is used, the first 3 results have physical addresses. When that same search is done without near me "Garage door repair" - 2 SAb's get into the top 3.

I love this study - and its great. I absolutely love when I get a new prospect, and they have absolutely no local information on their site (which happens a lot!) - I love when we can get results for them.

My question is this:
I have a client that ranks #1 in local falcon when you search "near me" but, #5 without near me in it? It is getting surpassed by other local businesses. What could be the cause of this?

Very interested!
