    Thank you very much for your video. I will create single page Google My Business website for my electrical engineering services office. But, I also need a business email with same domain name as my one page Google My Business website. I want everything on Google platform. What should I do? Thank you.

    For the list of categories, you need to go to zanet.co.uk/gmb then use the Find in Page function. So Control+F function for a PC or Command+F on a Mac

    Great video! My clients travel to my business from all over the UK as the service that I offer is only offered by a handful of other businesses in the uk. Is there a way to show up on a listing when someone from the opposite side of the uk searches for my service?

    • @ZanetDesign
      @ZanetDesign  4 года назад +1

      Yes it can work that way. The local search is only one factor.
      If you watch this video in its entirety you will see that their are 3 factors
      Relevance
      Distance
      Prominence
      So I would imagine if you have strong relevance and prominence the distance is less important especially if you are a rare service
      Hope that helps - if not let me know

    Hi I have 2 different businesses. Do I open 2 different goggle my business accounts? Secondly, one of my business is print on demand. I am not staying at the print on demand's co country. But GYB is
    local based. Will there be any problem? Thanks

    • @ZanetDesign
      @ZanetDesign  4 года назад +1

      Lets split this up
      1. For different businesses you can enter different google My Business listings as long as they are clearly different. So you would need different numbers addresses etc for this not to be an issue. Google is clear , that there should only be one profile per business, as this can cause problems with how your information displays on Google Maps and Search.
      2. For a print on demand business as long as it meets the guidelines and you are able to verify ownership then im not sure i understand the question. As far as I know you don't have to live at the address if its a service, is that what you mean?

      Below the primary category, you can add additional categories - only do this is it is accurately displayed on your website and your business does offer the service - I've a new tool called "GMB SPY" you can download and a list of every category here for you on zanet.co.uk/gmb/

    Super helpful, Zanet! Just got a question, I'm working for a realtor and his business name is already listed and he wanted to list additonal business name. Let's say his company name is JohnDoe Real Estate, and he wanted to list another business name "JohnDoe". Is that possible to have 2 business names listed? If it is, what could be the process for him not to be penalized by Google? Thank you much.

    • @ZanetDesign
      @ZanetDesign  4 года назад +1

      Hi Anne - unless its a different business then you definitely run the risk of being penalized. You can have more than one business, or even if you have more than one office that could work. But are you saying its one business and you want 2 registrations on GMB?

      Thanks for your Google My Business question. Yes your Gmail account can manage and access any number of GMB accounts. Its pretty intuitive, so just follow a standard registrations process.
      Either register the business after logging in, or ask the owner to enable management on your Gmail account under users if they want you to manage a business on there behalf.
      Is there a reason you ask?
