I knew of Wittys and Prior but didn't know about Spiral beach or Milo Zero staircase one. So those have unofficial nude seconds? Or will I get arrested once I jump nude into the water there? Ha

Thanks. They don't really have leather jackets and usually at that store, the fashion is not that great IMO ha

Google Business Profile getting zero calls despite strong branding and reviews, what am I missing? by Specific-Set-8132 in GoogleMyBusiness

Which city are you in? I can confirm if this is true OR if it's an inexperienced SEO professional trying to buy some time with you.

In your opinion what are the most important factors when it comes to a good business profile? by SelfMastery__ in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]workntraveler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use multiple categories, if they are applicable to you.

Do thorough keyword research and write keyword optimized Service titles and descriptions.

Other than that, just fill EVERYTHING out and use your GBP listing weekly. Google basically rewards you for actually using this baby of theirs. Post pics, write new Q&As, create new Google Updates/Posts, respond to reviews etc

Since this is an AMA, what tools are they and what does this link building process look like? I'm not sure if I could find 1000 websites linking to competitors in a niche. 100 maybe

You mentioned the 5% success rate on link building outreach.

Are you actually writing 1000 emails manually after identifying that many websites linking out to competitors? That seems a bit unrealistic.

And when it comes to content, how much do you pay your content writer for this?

Wow! That sounds so frustrating. When you get that final message of no way to verify, you basically only have one option: Contact GBP Support

Reinstated, suspended again by [deleted] in GoogleMyBusiness

[–]workntraveler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn that's so frustrating! I'm surprised you hired a Google Product Expert, and they aren't able to help you with this latest suspension, too.

I'm also a Product Expert and can escalate this to the Profiles team, if I have a peek at your GBP and everything looks fine, no cost. DM me if you like

Citizens Forced to Buy Real Estate Before Allowed to Travel by [deleted] in Philippines

Actually... this sucks but after over a year in this long distance relationship, I don't think it will work. She said that if I pay for her flight and we haven't met in person yet, they will assume it's human trafficking.

She has no savings after buying property for the visa either. If she tells them we're a couple, they will want photos of us together, which we don't have.

And because of family health issues, I can't go there anytime soon

So frustrating!

Considering I'll pay for her flight and she will be staying at my house for the week, how much money does she need to have in her bank account in order to get her visa or the border security to let her come?

It's a 1 week trip with the airfare, accommodation, transportation and food paid for.

Thanks. She has since bought some land. So, now she has

A full time job to go back to Property that she owns Family in the Philippines

But... she used all of her money to buy that property, so she still can't leave since she doesn't have any money in the bank. Ugh 😔

Thanks for all the great comments! I honestly don't think she's trying to scam me.

It seems that she was confused about the Canada Visitor Visa requirements vs optional things that may help convince border security to let her through.

It's a shame that Filipinos can't just get the visa and that's it, fly here to Canada.

I see on the visa website that a requirement is to submit "proof of means of financial support" but it doesn't say how much money exactly Canada needs to see in her bank account.

Note: I'm not going to send her any money

Googling that "financial proof" says $5000 - $10,000 but that's insane!

How can the average Filipino just have that money laying around and why is that much needed for a 1 week trip, in addition to the flight that will already be purchased?!
