Anyone here thinking they could possibly get paid is a conflict of interest. I don't trust sales people, but I do trust people that are generous with sharing their experiences knowing they aren't getting paid.

We are considering hiring an SEO expert (it won't be you, so your honest opinion is appreciated) and was wondering how to go about sourcing for that service? I have used Upwork in the past for other "type" service with decent success. I haven't had success with Upwork for hiring SEO people. TIA!

so the address is my brokers address (I'm a realtor) so I have to use that address. I know we can do this because there are other agents that have a GBP using that address.

If Google rejects the address and that is YOUR address and that is not changing, then what do you do?

I got my last one done without having to do a video. That was like, 4 months ago.

was your question about attempting to get the GBP approved? Is it better for the approval process to have citations and other "markers" so that when the profile is reviewed, makes it more likely to get approved without having to do a video?

I know we have some real SEO pros here—your expertise is exactly what this topic needs. I'd genuinely value the insight only someone with your level of knowledge can provide. Don’t hold back; your input could make all the difference! ;)

My wife and I run a small Real Estate Team in a small city outside of Phoenix Arizona. We have come to dominate that city in the Google Map Pack for like 40-50 keyword (#1 for most of those), organically over the last 5 years. We are now wanting to expand, create a new website, new team, and...

I can't keep the old domain for legal reasons. I had to delete it. I understand that it'll take a while to get this new domain back to where the old one was, but are a few things I can do in now, other than onpage SEO, to get it expedited? I've already submitted to 50 citations. This is...

I had to rush and copy by website from one domain to another domain name. After doing so, I noticed that the new domain started showing up in the SERPS, but has now completely disappeared. I've deleted the old domain from my GoDaddy account and I'm awaiting it to formally be "pulled" from the...

This is confusing. you say no "sell my Houston house' wouldn't trigger the ad and this this is the reason why above in the quote; however you say, "in between the words of the phrase". it's either before or after the phrase or it's not. this indicates that it's not only before and after as...

nobody? really?
