Seriously CTR for GMB is killing it right now. Here are the results of one client in less than a month for a very competitive key term.
As you will see ranking was achieved in approx. 3 weeks
JUNE 04
JUNE 22
This is all from CTR manipulation. Here are the methods I used which are no longer working. So I'm currently looking for a way to get geo targeted traffic and also share some insight with the community.
For all of my methods you use the URL string to the GMB with a keyword embedded in the URL. So basically the URL would look like:
Can you find the keywords?
1. Facebook ads. Was running Facebook ads and the destination URL was the gmb profile with a keyword embedded in the URL string. This was working and you could really get refined with radius and zip code targeting, ultimately increasing your CTR for locations quickly and easily. However, now FB keeps banning my accounts. Fuck the Zuck.
2. Was using crowdsearch[dot]me. Worked for a little while, now it just doesn't work at all and their support staff or whoever is answering tickets is a gigantic bag of dicks. Would not recommend.
3. Bought CTR Booster a few weeks ago. The Geolocation feature thats supposed to be in the tool isn't there for me. I've tried contacting support and haven't got any response.
4. Here's what is working. Creating blogs on wp sites and setting up a script to pull in content and spin it, then publish on the blog. Local keywords like "plumber in san francisco" rank easily when you spam the search engines. It drives tons of traffic. Basically you cloak the entire site with a 307. The 307 allows google to crawl and index the results, but any traffic will be redirected to the GMB with the keyword in the URL string. Currently this is all I can get to work for CTR manipulation.
Let's talk. What ideas do you have to drive traffic from a local area? As you can see the traffic doesn't need to be very targeted. The keyword in the URL string handles that. But location does need to be targeted.
