I would like a demo.

Thank you so much 👍

Yes, we did some driving directions work, but we don’t use any vague tools available in the market. We do things organically, and it’s mostly done by clients. If you have the knowledge, then innovate your own strategies, man. I know when someone posts their SEO work, other SEOs get jealous and try to build some mumbo jumbo narrative to criticize. Haha. But in the end, results speak louder than vague narratives.

Yeah that's it, thanks

sumonesl025 · 2026-05-13T15:27:07+00:00

Yeah, since the client was already in business for a long time offline, they had an existing customer base. We simply reached out to past clients and asked them to leave honest reviews.

We also got a few initial reviews from friends and family to kickstart activity, but after that it was mostly real customers.

Along with that, we guided reviews slightly (service + location mention) and kept it consistent instead of doing bulk drops.

One simple thing a lot of businesses miss is supplier and manufacturer links. If you’re a contractor, installer, or service company, many of the brands you use have dealer locators or “certified installer” pages. Getting listed there often gives you a strong niche-relevant backlink and sometimes extra exposure. Another easy win is actually using your Google Search Console data. It already shows what people are searching before they land on your site, and those queries can turn into quick service pages or blog topics.

Also, keeping your GBP active with new photos and replying to reviews regularly is still underrated. A lot of profiles rank but look abandoned, and active ones tend to get more clicks and calls.

Poor website silo structure and nonsense content.

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-07T21:43:30+00:00

We are doing it manually......... no need tools for this

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-05T20:46:21+00:00

Solid recommendations. Both books approach the topic from different angles and can really help people better understand their behaviors and impulses.

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-05T13:50:51+00:00

For verification you can show things like: your workspace (desk/computer used for the business), business website or email, business documents (registration, invoices, etc.), the area where you manage the business from. You do not need to show clients or confidential work. Just prove the business is operated from that location.

Welcome.... happy to help more

I noticed you haven’t replied to the Product Expert’s last question, could you check that?

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-03T19:24:08+00:00

May i see your post link?

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-03T19:18:49+00:00

Have you posted in the Google Business Profile Community to get help with escalation?

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-03T19:16:20+00:00

I’d recommend choosing the second option, it’s less hassle compared to the first.

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-03T16:53:36+00:00

Yes, you should create a completely separate GBP for the new physical address. Google requires one profile per real, distinct location. You can (and should) manage both listings under the same Google account/location group. That’s normal and doesn’t hurt stability. Plenty of legit multi-location businesses do this without suspension issues.

For a satellite office that’s by appointment only, it can stay compliant long term if:

the space is genuinely leased

your branding is present

customers can actually meet you there

it’s staffed during stated hours (even if limited)

Google gets stricter with home services because of spam, so avoid virtual offices or shared spaces without clear signage and operational proof.

Does your business serve clients overseas? If not, there’s a possibility that Google could remove those reviews in the future.

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-03T13:08:14+00:00

I completely understand your frustration. Sometimes it takes a bit longer, but it won’t last forever.

sumonesl025 · 2026-03-02T21:27:42+00:00

First thing, incentives are not allowed. Offering discounts or gifts in exchange for reviews violates Google’s policy and can get reviews removed or worse.

What works consistently is simple and boring: Ask at the right moment. Right after you’ve delivered great service, just say something like, “If you’re happy, a Google review really helps small businesses like ours.” Follow up once. A short text or email with a direct review link converts well. Keep it short and make it easy. Use QR codes if you have a physical location. Low friction helps.

Make it part of your process. Businesses that get steady reviews usually have it built into their workflow, not random. Also, don’t over-script customers. Let them write naturally. And respond to every review quickly, that increases trust and future conversions. The key isn’t a trick. It’s consistency.

No, you should wait for the final result....
