SEO Mad Scientist 


Welcome back to another SEO Mad Scientist update! This week we are going to look at some weird test results and go over how we believe we are in the middle of a GMB update…
But first…
Let’s talk about our suspended GMB listing from earlier this week. If you didn’t see in the group, last week we got an email from GMB about our listing being suspended…
This is now the second test listing we have had suspended in over a year, and when we posted about it, one of the questions that came up was, “why was it suspended ?”
We hadn’t made any recent changes, hadn’t done any “weird” tests (like emoji names), and were on an account with other test GMBs that were obviously not legit. So why was this one targeted? Well, we believe it was flagged by a user…
The fact is when we look at the recent metrics for the site, it was gaining a lot of traction (another reason we wanted to dig into what was previously done)
It’s because of this that we believe the listing was most likely seen by someone who flagged it. There was a good possibility someone went to the address as we had the address listed on this listing.
The fact the listing was doing so well was odd, considering it only had an optimized description and that was about it. We were interested to why rankings may have gone up however because when checking our other test listing, we saw that things had gone a little crazy…
Here are just 2 of the listings…


This obviously makes it difficult to give any solid update on our tests.
The one thing we did want to note however is that all of the test listings that are currently doing this are on the SAME account as the listing that got suspended over the weekend.
So do you think this is due to an update or possibly Google targeting the account due to the suspension?
Be sure to look out next week for the update to see what happens and if any more listings get suspended. Until then…
Happy Testing!
