@@brianpierce6083 Hi Brian, Good question, You are correct. What you should do is upload your RUclips thumbnail image but change the size to 1200 x 900. Then link the post to your RUclips video in the description, or in the Call to Action button, eg - 'Learn more' Hope this helps!
Stewart Gauld Stewart Gauld wow! And you reply! You seem very knowledgeable and care about interacting with your viewers. I’m in love with the concept of seo and google my business. I want to learn everything there is to being on top of the front page. But there is alottttt of people who teach seo and I don’t know whos alpha out there. As a matter of fact, I got scammed because I’m naive. I want to be as good as you. The point I make is the fact I searched up, with exact words, “ seo google my business” here on RUclips and you were on top. Therefore, your know what your talking about!
AOM has actually definitely done miracles for my organization. Our company were actually having issue receiving brand new customers as well as our current SEO company was actually certainly not performing what they vowed, which is actually why I made a decision to switch. I'm therefore happy that I did given that AOM was capable to get my GMB webpage ranked amount 1 for all of my neighborhood key phrases, which has actually helped our organization develop enormously
Fantastic work, especially for an SEO-challenged simpleton like myself. Well presented, in a mentally-digestible, easy to implement format, kudos and thank you very much!
*How do I fix this? "Your access has been suspended because this profile doesn’t follow the guidelines. Edit your business info, and learn how to regain access."* (All I'm doing is trying to change my address, and I did almost 300 citation changes first before even trying)
Hey Stewart, Just a quick tip mate! You have used keywords in your business name, which is against google policy obviously it will help in ranking but not relevant in the long run.
Hi mate! Yes you are right. That's why it's a good idea to have keywords in your domain/business name THEN it is more appropriate to have those keywords in your GMB name.
What is the importance of geotagging? What if my business doesnt have a storefornt, does deliveries only? Your video is verfy informative, useful and practical. Thanks!
I have video on my home page... but it's embedded in vimeo. I like it cause I can maake it look cleaner, and there's no potential for ads, distractions from the rest of my site. Question: Does it help for me to add tags and meta-data in my unlisted vimeo video? Does google pull from that too? or is that only beneficial if linking from youtube?
Hi Chris, It doesn't hurt to add these. That way your video have information Google can use to identify the video and the relevance to your landing page. Not a big thing you need to worry about. All the best!
AOM has actually done marvels for my organization. We were actually having issue receiving brand-new customers as well as our present s.e.o company was actually certainly not performing what they vowed, which is actually why I decided to change. I am actually therefore pleased that I carried out given that AOM was capable to get my GMB page ranked amount 1 for each of my nearby keywords, which has assisted our service expand greatly
Hi stewart Thanks for sharing a informative content. Insightful, descriptive in a short span of time. Keep updated your audience like this way. Thanks bro.
Great video! Got a question. If I’m trying to rank a local website for rank and rent purpose, what should I do with the business address? I believe now we can verify our GMB without using a physical address, but what should I do about the address that I put in my NAP?
@@StewartGauld Hi Stewart, Just so I understand, I verified my GMB with my personal address (I have a service based business...I go to my clients) BUT I want to build citations to increase my SEO rankings. Do I have to use my personal address on these citations, or can I use say my PO Box? Thank you!
Question? How direct does the nap have to be So some of my information has N. Instead of North will the make a different I'm in the beginning stages should I ho back an change them all ?
It is better to be as consistent as possible but it's not going to impact you much, but if you have the time, I would double check all your citations and directories.
Did you use solely google my business(I.e. WordPress)? Because my website looks completely different and I don't have some of the features that you have
I have over 100 photos already uploaded to GMB, all without geotracking. Is it better to just start adding it going forward, or deleting the photos and upload them again with the location. There doesn't seem to be an option to edit or add locations after uploading.
What helps a google business listing rank better? I assume this is not the same as SEO based on their website? Would you do anything SEO related if they didn’t have a website or if they did have a website but their SEO is not great, do you suggest changes to whomever created the site for them to make? I don’t do websites so I wouldn’t know much on building one... Also - how can you help two or more of the same companies rank better ie: plumbers within the same areas? Would you use different methods for tags or descriptions? I hope my question is making sense lol.
Hi stewart Can u pls clarify my doubt, i have created business listing and it is verified as well ,but ratings are not displayed under business name on Knowledge graph(on right side).Please let me know why it is not showing up?
your vid is legendary. When I do service work in the field, and I upload photo to google page, do I geo tag photo coordinates? Or just geo tag my photos with the same geo tag as my google maps location?
Hi Stewart Thank you very much for your video. Its, indeed, helpful. I have a question for you. The address which is shown in the search result is slightly different from the address that I actually filled-up in my GMB. So for citation, which address should I use? The address which is shown in the search result or the address I actually filled up in GMB?
Hi Haris, thank you. Good question. Match your citations with the address on your GMB dashboard. However, it's more important to match the exact address that's on your website with your citations. Hope that helps!
White spark is great. I think that is a good idea. If you can get someone else to do it for a reasonable price.. this will save a LOT of time. Citation building is a long process.
Stewart, awesome video; I just subscribed! You obviously know what you are talking about and you get it done in a concise and easily understandable manner. I seems you've only just begun to grow your channel, so I am very happy to have found you early on. I have just started Lead Gen PPCall. I would love to know what you think about the business model and, hope to see some future videos touching on it if you are so inclined. Just a note, my sister's BF is from NZ, and I dig the accent, especially when you say "step", haha, the Wholesale Ted channel hostess is from NZ and people often comment on that particular pronunciation of hers, haha. I think it's cool. It seems folks often have a tough time figuring out where it comes from. It seems having hobbits is not the only magical aspect of NZ , it's also your ability to have an indiscernible accent as well, ha! God bless and looking forward to learning a lot more from you.
Hi Peter, Thank you for your comment and welcome to the channel! Sure, I would be happy to have a look at your business and see what it is all about. Oh nice! We do have a strange accent don't we haha. It is hard to tell sometimes, most of the time people think we are Australians! Thank you, appreciate it! God bless. Happy new year!
With GmB posts. On one account my posts are showing up fine. On another, it seems the images are not. Any idea why? I have done a number of posts already for this account but now this started happening.
Sir I have one question please don't ignore, and I hope you will find answer of this question even if you dont know. You have a large circle and some one answer you instead of me. I saw one gig on fiverr , Some people claim that verify google my business without post card in 24 hours or may be in three days. They verify business without post card and even without website. I have searched a lot but not found how they are doing this. I have listened a lot of video. Can you ask or post question in your circle when you have time and find answer and share with others.
Hi mate, Yes good question. Depending on your business type sometimes Google will offer verification via email or phone. However, most often then not you will need to verify via post card.
@@StewartGauld sir check on fiverr people claim for all type business and they claim in 24 hours.. how ? I think you ask in your circle and share secret.
I'm having issues getting found I'm getting some calls but not as nearly what I would like I'm using a a buddy's office address in a city an he pulled it up an I was #2 How do I rank in other city's? Do I actually need an address in the city I want to show up in? I'm fairly new an would greatly appreciate any information that your able to help me with

Your address will still be listed on GMB, you can just choose to NOT let it show. The NAP still applies.

I'm glad Stella!
Did you use solely google my business(I.e. WordPress)? Because my website looks completely different and I don't have some of the features that you have
Hi mate, your website will look different and you might have used a different website builder or CMS.
Did you build your website by yourself?
You can use drag n drop site builder to make your site look cooler

Hi Shalini,
Your reviews? These should show up below your listing. If your GMB listing has just been approved, give it time.
your vid is legendary. When I do service work in the field, and I upload photo to google page, do I geo tag photo coordinates? Or just geo tag my photos with the same geo tag as my google maps location?
Hi Shane,
Thanks mate.
Yes, thats good, your images will already be geo tagged if you are taking them from your phone.
What if we are using name and phone number?
Yep got it!!! I'm listed whoop whoop
Exciting!

Hi Rose,
You don't need a GMB unless you do operate locally. However, you DONT need to add your address as visible. All the best!
Is Geo tagging still important in 2020 ? I recently heard it doesn't do much. Thoughts?
Hi mate,
Everything counts! It's not super important but does benefit local business ahd helps with SEO and local SEO. If you can, still do it.

What are your thoughts on paying companies like white spark for setting up citations?

Hey mate,
It can take time. Make sure you go through the optimization steps I discuss in this video.

Thank you for your comment.
Can we hire you for local seo?
Hi mate,
You sure can.
Send contact info please
Is there an email or contact I can send info to ?
Can we just hire you to do this for us
Hey mate,
You sure can. Head over to our website to get in touch.
Bad info. Keywords in the GMB description have no impact on ranking.
Agree to disagree. This helps google identify your Busienss. Keywords embedded through your GMB listing work towards improving your listing.
Where are you from? Can’t recognize your accent )))))
Hi! I'm from New Zealand. Kia ora!
Can I have you do my google ads I can pay you sir..
