The location stuff now moved to TOOLS => Location Groups in the new UI, it seems. Overall the process is still similar, the video stages are applicable. Thank you Stewart!
Thanks for a great video Stewart. If you select "location group" instead of "all synched locations", what address will show up in the extension? Would be a bit weird if your ad showed up in a city in your group and your actual location was in another city?
So basically there’s no way to guarantee your ad will show up under the “Places”/ Map Pack. You just connect the GMB and follow video instructions and you’re just hoping for the best?
Hey! You will show up. Then you just need to optimize further to improve your position over time. Usually, you do not have to optimize the extension asset and you will appear no matter what. However, this also varies based on your competition.
Hi Stewart, great video, what if you are usually in the top three of the Map Pack. Is it worth the expense of running ads to guarantee a place on top? I assume running an ad would mean that you appear on top with the ad and your "organic" map pack listing would be filled by a competitor instead. Or can it happen that your listing appears as an ad and as one of the three pack?
Thanks for that Denis. Yes correct. Your organic map listing, paid listing and paid text ad can all appear at the same time. You can see the potential as you can dominate the first page.
Hi Stewart, So what causes, my listing to be above others? If there is only one paid spot on Google Maps, how do I ensure its my ad? Is it the amount of spend? Or what are the factors that decide whos ad ranks in the Maps?
If i want to connect my clients GBP to my MCC do the emails still have to match ? And what if my clients GBP doesn't have an address as they are a service based business. can I still link and run ads to it with my mcc?
I need some help here... I am under the age of 18, so apparently since my birthday age is too young it won't let me continue and payouts are paused. I looked it up and it says I can still receive payments as long as a legal guardian signs off on it. I can't find a place anywhere to do that in Stripe. Can you help me out?
Hi Stewart, I have a RUclips channel and have some videos posted. I would like to link the videos on my RUclips to my Google Business Profile. Is there a way to do this?

Hello

Welcome!

Thanks!
Thanks for a great video Stewart. If you select "location group" instead of "all synched locations", what address will show up in the extension? Would be a bit weird if your ad showed up in a city in your group and your actual location was in another city?
Welcome. Depends on the geolocation of the searcher.
Thank you Stewart! Do I need to have Google Ads in order to have a sponsored spot in Google Maps?
Yes you do.
Hi Stewart, thanks for that great info !! I have just set this up now. Is there a way to test it to see its working ?
The best way is to ask friends to have a look. You should also keep an eye on your analytics.
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. I'm a service based business with no brick & mortar location, is there a way to add a location?
Hey!
You will need a GBP with the location to use this.
great vedio but my google ads not showing ads asset
Welcome! Are you sure? Can take a day or two before you start seeing results.

Hey,
The way that your ads and website is optimized. There are many quality factors that come into play.
Ok, I agree... What are they?@@StewartGauld
What about locations in Performance Max? isn't that the one that will show on the map?
No you will need the location extension for locations on Map.
Does this work with both search and pmax campaigns?
Sure does!
If i want to connect my clients GBP to my MCC do the emails still have to match ? And what if my clients GBP doesn't have an address as they are a service based business. can I still link and run ads to it with my mcc?
Yes they do. You can still use this method. The ad will just show the service areas instead.
Can you help me on this sir. I cannot follow the step by step 😢
What was your issue.
Is there a way to set up the campaign where the ads run exclusively on Google maps only?
Hey mate,
Unfortunately not as it's an extension.
can I add a GBP (which Im not the owner) as local extension to my Google Ads Campaign?
No unless you have your email connected to it.
what if you don't have a location it is a home based business can u still set it up cuz i tried it kept asking me for location
Yes you can. Just make sure that you select the option in your GBP about delivering services to your clinets.

Hey Isaac,
Sorry mate, I cannot help you. I suggest following stripe guidelines.
Hi Stewart, I have a RUclips channel and have some videos posted. I would like to link the videos on my RUclips to my Google Business Profile. Is there a way to do this?
Hey,
You can do this to your GBP posts but thats it.
Hi, Stewart, does this apply to service based businesses without brick and mortar stores such as plumbers?
Hey Billy,
Sure does! Super important for all service based businesses.
The guy in the video never gets to the point till the end so skip
Thanks for the feedback.
