Frequently Asked Questions

  • What kinds of businesses should use local SEO?

    "Any business that offers a product or service to a defined area like a city, state, or even neighborhood. This applies to a single store/business and equally a division or branch of a larger company."

  • Can I remove bad reviews from my Google My Business listing?

    "Unfortunately, you cannot remove bad reviews from GMB. There is an option to flag any reviews you consider as false or inappropriate as inappropriate. You should note this process will not help with bad reviews. It's good practice to reply to reviews, especially bad ones, in GMB, making sure to show empathy, to sympathize, offer to resolve their issue offline, and demonstrate your superior customer service. "

  • What Is Local SEO & How Is It Different from Regular Website SEO?

    "Local SEO is a unique set of SEO work that relates to optimizing your website's performance and your Google My Business listing. These two assets are the key to success in Local SEO, and because of this, the SEO work is very focused on local signals to boost your website and GMB listing. Examples of specialized Local SEO work include citation building, geotagging images, and specific onsite edits that are not required with regular SEO."

  • Can I have two Google My Business listings within one city?

    "Yes, you can have multiple GMB listings in any area as long as they correspond to legitimate businesses. An ice cream chain might have several listings in one neighborhood because they have numerous retail stores."

  • Is Google the only local search engine I need to pay attention to in local search?

    "Google is by far the biggest search engine of relevance, but in Local SEO, you should also optimize for Bing and Apple Maps."

  • Will the categories I select in GMB affect my rankings?

    "Yes, the primary category is very important. Be sure to check what your top competitors have selected and then choose the best match for your business. You can also select various secondary categories, but the primary category carries the most weight."
