    What do you do when a page has good content but still won't rank?

    tbh I will look at the GSC stats, then check the SERP. sometimes the actual page is great but just need some internal link or authority.

    Are there people using the GSA SER these days?

    I think tbh, the gsa is still there, although the configuration is way more imprtant than getting all the addons. I would suggest that you go small to begin with becuz I would have done that.

    How long it takes a manual action to be removed from Google?

    two weeks appears to be quite standard for me. I would simply wait until my review is concluded and not send any more applications until then.

    Which SEO metric matters least?

    Keyword rankings can be quite misleading in my view. having a top position may not mean anything when the particular keyword is not getting any click at all.

    Products being promoted with AI videos

    yes, definitely the most difficult part is to maintain the consistency of the shirt/product despite the motion of the model. I would start from image of the product and try some short video before doing the complete video.

    Imo, social traffic is great for exposure nd conversions, although I would not necessarily consider using paid traffic to drive up a GBP. rankings in local SEO depend a lot more on reviews, relevancy nd proximity.

    social media recovery

    Ofc, all of them have their distinctive aspects, which is why it would be much more reasonable to deal with them first of all. when speaking about the services offered by those marketplaces, I do not believe the possibility of succes at all.

    for me, staying away from my mobile phone is far more helpful than any productivity application available. once that is sorted, it becomes easy to concentrate on the task at hand.

    How long does it take to see SEO results?

    this time span, imo, seems appropriate, but then again, one must begin evaluating the impression nd keywords well before that. after all, when one does not see any change in some months, then it is time to change the approach.
