    SERP Changes/Tests

    - Google Removes Safe Browsing As A Google Ranking Signal - This Comes From The Google Page Experience Update

    - Google Testing Discussions Carousel - Google Is Testing A New Design Layout For Displaying Forums In The Search Results

    Google Says

    - Google: Try To Use One Sitemap File For Google News

    - Danny Sulivan - Confirmed That Google Core Updates Can Sometimes Impact Both Image Search & Local Search Results

    - Google: If You Remove A Part Of Your Website You Will Rank Differently - John Mueller Confirmed

    - Google Says Coming Back In Search Is Faster Than Dropping Out In Search After Downtime

    Q&A:

    9:56 Do you know if it's possible to get a due follow link from my maps? Or did Google close that one? Is it still worth getting?

    25:02 Chaz - I'm linking my social profiles, my press releases, and my guest posts, should i link "web20" links? the links I find when i do a brand search?

    30:10 AP News - Is This US Specific?

    33:09 Chaz - I've looked at some past posts from you (Web20Ranker) regarding CTR manipulation. In some you indicate that it's legit, and it's something that web20ranker.com does, and in others you say it's overrated, can you clarify?

    47:28 Tier 2 links. How many tier 2 links to a GP and what metric do you use to decide how many you link to a GP; DR? RD? Traffic? Keywords?

    49:24 I have 3 websites, 2 of them i've used ALL of your GMB services (they were all pieced together), for my third website, what service/option is there to encompass all of them?

    51:47 A client has a car rental company near the Toronto airport (despite the airport address actually being in the connecting city of Mississauga). The client has an affiliation with a European vehicle rental company too. The problem is...a) my client's GMB address is in "Mississauga". b) the affiliate also has a GMB at the exact same address as our client - but with " - Toronto" added to the GMB name. If I search the area for "car rental mississauga" or even "car rental" my client comes up. But if I search for "car rental toronto" the European affiliate comes up. I'd rather my client show up for "car rental toronto" since that is a way more popular kw. Anything I can do to help get my client showing up for "car rental toronto" related kws?

    1:06:09 Speaking of YouTube when you put on the subtitles on your videos do you think Google is picking that wording up for keywords?

    1:08:47 Do you take a different approach ranking a local service business that is commercial only? But that does 0 residential?

    1:14:40 Is there any value in doing multi-language websites if you live on the border?

    Q&A:

    17:48 Hey hey. I have a question. I just acquired a new client. They are in the mortgage industry and have a GMB called Arizona Lending Group. When you type in "Arizona Lending Group" into Google, their business GMB doesn't show up and their website URL doesn't show up on the first page either. They launched both their website and GMB about 4 months ago. They have done almost zero SEO. My question is, how can their business name/website URL/GMB show up at the top of Google when you type in their business name into Google? I'm guessing domain age, proper indexing, and GMB optimization might play a factor. I plan on outsourcing their GMB SEO to you guys, so maybe you guys can look into it more when I send all the details. thanks, guys!

    23:25 is there any way of preventing others from suggesting an edit to our GMB listing?

    26:00 I'm seeing Google Map listings in some local searches with only 2 results in the Maps area... Is this something new? Are they gonna slowly roll out the Google 3 pack?

    30:50 1 More ..... Have a client. I have a strange one here.. Maybe someone can give some insight. When I go to the 3 pack for my GMB I don't show up, however when I click more I show number #3 yet I'm not #3 in the 3 pack on the Google search page

    35:49 hey, I have a client where an employee moved the pin with his personal email. I fixed it in the GMB but he isn't showing on google anymore. it does 2 things show driving directions or if I misspell it will show him. any ideas. he already had a gstack.

    39:37 Are citations still effective in ranking a GMB? How about using the CID as the web link? Any benefits? Also how important are citations with spun content? Is Google getting pickier about citation descriptions now? Are NAPs with a copy/paste description not enough anymore?

    Q&A:

    16:49 Question from the Local SEO Community FB Group: I am talking to a prospect that has 2 locations around the same big city, about 20 miles apart. He has 2 GMB's. Both link to the home page, despite him actually having some pretty nice location pages built out.

    The main location in the heart of the big city is coming up #1 all over a geogrid. I have not yet checked the other location.

    Should I leave the GMBs to point to the homepage if they are doing quite well?

    27:34 What are you doing to combat it?

    46:26 Have you seen the creation of a GMB site completely replace the companies domain in all the SERPs where the domain was previously ranking #1 for over a year

    Q&A:

    11:52 All USA OR any Canadian sites for the Press Releases?

    37:22 Were those GMBs that dropped using names with a dash like " name - geo" or words like "name in geo"

    41:38 Did the CTR test do anything?

    44:36 Lost ranking for a site that's brand is like "City Commercial Cleaners" ("City" being the actual word "City" and NOT the city name). I wondered if that was hurting them too. Being too generic, keyword-rich, even though it is their actual company name.

    46:25 Is it most ideal to set up a general location page or do you recommend geo+kw pages as the primary location page?

    50:48 Can you tell me, how to index citation links currently it’s getting really hard to index them naturally in Google/ using the indexer tool.

    55:21 Reviews seem to be a GMB rankers these days?

    59:25 GMB Spam Fighting as an SEO service for clients? Thoughts?

    1:00:50 What happens if a business on GMB moves to a new location that needs re-verification? Does the existing map with rankings get de-indexed during the verification process?

    Q&A:

    10:20 Where on the greyscale from White Hat to Black Hat do you consider your SEO services such as advanced GMB or Mini Networks (small PNBs) etc.?

    14:06 I've read that Google gives less weight to nav, footer, and sidebar links for obvious reasons, do you also recommend listing them in the body for full internal linking benefits or is sidebar fine?

    19:04 Has anybody noticed that when you're changing stuff in your GMB and you're on the mobile app Google my business it gets updated faster then say you were on your computer or laptop?
