seen the same, a lot of it is proximity and category match, if the searcher is close and the primary category lines up, reviews matter less than people think. the new profiles jumping up does look like google testing them, and the ones that stick are usually the ones getting real engagement in...

the hours one is underrated imo. open now acts like a filter, ive seen listings fall out of the pack in the evening just because they show closed, so if they really take calls late set the hours to match. second is the services and products sections, fill them with the exact wording people...

the ip rotating thing is probably why nothing moved, google mostly ignores proxy clicks with no real session behind them, and if the article is sitting on page 3 or deeper there isnt much search behaviour for a click to attach to anyway. first check where it actually sits for the main keyword...

40k indexed pages vs a competitor with 400 is the thing id look at first tbh. thats usually a lot of thin or near duplicate pages splitting crawl and internal link equity, so your money pages dont look like the strongest page on the site. id take the target keywords that are stuck, check in gsc...

geo fencing basically just means the searches come from inside the area google expects real customers to be in, so if the GMB is in dallas the clicks need to look like they come from phones around dallas, not a datacenter in germany. mobile proxies help because they use real carrier IPs that...

that spike then drop is pretty much the classic pattern with proxy setups, even mobile and residential. google sees the clicks but the sessions look samey, similar fingerprints, short dwell, no real history behind them, so you get a temporary lift and then it corrects, sometimes below where you...

id be careful pumping fake visits just for the report, if the client ever looks at leads next to the traffic line it falls apart fast, and junk sessions in ga4 are pretty easy to spot, zero engagement, weird geo, all hitting the same landing page. first thing id do is check gsc for what...

since you cant touch the page, ctr is one of the few levers left, and 6-9 is honestly the best spot for it, youre already getting impressions so the clicks can actually register. what usually fails is the tools, bot clicks on datacenter or cheap proxies, same pattern every session, no dwell...

the drop after stopping is real, but its usually way worse when the clicks came in as a big block and then went to zero overnight. if you taper it down over a few weeks instead of stopping dead it holds better, and it holds best on pages that actually satisfy the search once people land, dwell...

rapid indexer having it as a side mode was always gonna be shaky, when the main product is indexing the ctr part is the first thing that gets dropped. id stay away from smm panels for this, most of that is bots on cheap proxies, google either filters it or you get a spike and then a drop. ive...

lol yeah half the replies in here read like chatgpt. tried the ads route on a couple listings. you can get clicks on the profile pretty easy with local search ads, but paid clicks dont really count the same as someone searching normally, finding you in the pack and clicking through. what we saw...

microworkers for gbp search/click can work but pacing and qa is where it usually falls apart. listing drops after a burst are pretty common if geo or session quality is off. ive been using jake lam's click farm for maps style ctr instead of diy microworkers on listings that were already...

for maps/gmb the call button + warm up stuff is hard to get right with pure bots. microworkers can cover some of it but quality jumps around a lot, especially on geo. if the listing is already close to the pack, slow geo matched engagement usually beats dumping volume. phone tap actions help...

Recently been using my CTR tactics after reading about the google leak (doesnt mention everything but you can piece it together somewhat) Anyone getting good results with it? Just started my new campaign for a grey-hat niche client and fingers crossed it works out
