This Week in the Lab with SEO Mad Scientist
What You Should Know If You Are Reopening a GBP Listing or Putting Up a New One
Hey there Mad Scientists. Glad to have you back for another week of updates…
This week we will start with a quick review of our “reopened” listings. Last week we went over the current results after temporarily closing the listing. I didn’t notice that rankings were being affected in areas where we were receiving traffic but not other terms.
Shortly after that, we reopened the listing, and in about a week, here is the current result…

So apparently, whatever suppression Google was doing because of temporarily closing the business was most likely not done, or something reset when reopening the listing and just wiped out all SERPs while it re-indexed. We won’t know for sure until the listing starts to rank again; if it does…
How long will it take if rankings return?
We will be sure to let you know if and when it happens.
But it’s safe to say we would not advise marking a GBP as temporarily closed, even if you are. Unless you are ok with losing all your rankings…
Moving on to our new listing indexation test, we are just now seeing some terms outside our brand name and category.

“SEO Consulting” has popped into the SERPs as of 9/8. The listing went live on 8/10, so it’s been 19 days.
Now “SEO” is present in a few places on the listing (not in the brand or category). However, “consulting” is only in one place…
Specifically, “SEO Consulting” is an inner page on our website and is present in the top menu on our website’s homepage.

It’s interesting to see an emphasis specifically on the top menu. We don’t know if it’s because this is specifically a link to an internal page, if it’s because it’s a menu item, or if Google simply crawled the page and it was one of the lower comp terms that it picked up and started testing Us in the SERPs.
Join us next week for another update and discover what we find out with our GBP tests. We will launch a new “Menu Link” test soon to test our findings today.
Until then, happy testing!
