Q&A:

 

16:58 Do you have any issues with keyword cannibalization when creating blog posts like “10 tips for finding a roofer in Cleveland Ohio”? I love creating the geo-relevancy but sometimes worry it’ll actually take away from the rankings of a key location page.

34:03 Is anyone else seeing long-term rank drops from the June algorithm update? Couple GMBs with nothing spammy going on had drastic drops and since are struggling to recover.

37:50 When posting a new post to clients GMB using the previous post URL is still beneficial. And do you think those links get indexed?

42:28 I have a client who changed their address when they didn’t need to and now they’ve tried to get like six postcards and they never show up, and it won’t let her verify it in the app either, would you email support?

49:36 Client is ranking for ‘physical therapist’ + location. But for a relevant service eg ‘sports massage therapist’ + location they don’t appear in GMB at all. It’s selected as a GMB service and it’s mentioned on the location page.
