I didn’t forget about link velocity- I never asked during last conversation with Ben so I cannot answer the full questions but what I left out I will ask. The point he drove home is you need to have natural links.
As a google platinum member ben gets to see google products 6 months before they are released, so he can influence them.
I would love to get some gmb questions to ask!
Ben said last time if you get a non relevant link that looks natural and has Authority than it’s a great link to have
relevant better because links tell google who you are. But it would be unatural if all my links were pest control so a varied link profile is also important.

Why are google suspending merchant centres for no reason, and how can I get around the suspensions and get back on the shopping platform?
Also, what does the AI look for besides the basics such as not dropshipping, matching business address details etc

I have one for you.
I've created a legit GMB 5 months ago, but Google never shows it unless I type the exact company name.
Let say my company is called "Super SEO and web design company" (just an example).
If I search the exact name "Super SEO and web design company", my site obviously ranks first, and the GMB panel appears on the right.
If I only type "Super" or "SEO and web design company", my site still ranks first, but there is no GMB panel on the right, as if Google didn't recognize the company.
Is this normal, and if so, is there a way to make Google show the GMB panel?
The GMB is verified, all information are correct and up to date, and it even has several legit reviews from actual customers.
I also have a couple of aged GMBs and Google always shows them even if I don't type the exact name.

Two of my competitor website has a lot of spam back links but they are in the first position for most of the keywords. How does google rate a website?. Does it not penalize a site for having spam back links even though they have a few good links.

1. Is it interesting to build a site on an old expired domain that don't have many links, or better start with a new domain?
2. To improve onpage seo is it good to link to authority sites (wikipedia,etc) and how many times is too much?
3. Is it ok to repeat a kw multiple times per page? What's the ideal kw density?
4. Does google devaluate a site containing affiliate links? Should we hide them by cloaking?
5. To improve internal linking is it ok to add a list of internal pages at the end of an article? For example:
"These ressources could interest you
- internal link 1
- internal link 2
- internal link 3
- ...
- ...
- internal link 100"
Or is it too spammy?

1. How do posts on GMB influence the ranking
2. Which are the major factors for ranking with your GMG in Google Maps
3. Are „questions and answers“ a major ranking factor in GMB?
4. Do 3rd party reviews benefit your GMB rankings?
5. Are pictures by users or pictures by the owner more relevant to GMB
6. Why do the products by our merchant center sometimes disappear, even tho the data quality hasn’t changed

I do not see anything of any value searching online as to a google platinum member but I'm no Rhodes Scholar as to searching.
What is that and what value, other than a preview of things to come, is that and how does one achieve or apply for that?
Noob questions as to to that I am sure.

Ask what is the quickest way to index Google sites nowadays. It is taking over a month to do so and Google sites does not use sitemaps.

A lot of other members have been in the same situation and we still can't find solve the problem.
This is happening with aged websites aswell. I have few websites got affected by this. The websites are ranking well in other serps but not on Google.

Thank you all for asking some very good questions.
with my own questions I will make a list of the most important to least important and than I will list all the answers to everyone’s questions. If your questions were not answered by me tomorrow ask and I’ll tell you it was because we either did not get that far or because I knew the answer already. Or I forgot to list it and here is the answer.
I will probably do this with Ben every week
Social signals and core vitals are my primary upcoming questions. Last week it was on link building and I can help almost everyone out on that topic. I was wrong on half my link building thoughts last week. If we run out of time the remaining questions I’ll ask next week. Consultation only last an hour but save me thousands of dollars and months of time and I am greatful Ben does these consultation for me which I am going to share with all of you. I wasted a ton of money buying spam links that I am gonna pay to dissavow now on Ben’s advice. I wish I Did the consultation sooner.
I also have 1 company that out ranks me using spammy PBN and shady links and it’s a new company ranking both top spot organic rank and in maps so that question will be the first one I ask and than how to proceed since last consultation was on building natural links as his main point yet than why does this company benefit from doing the opposite and I’ll see what next steps are and why does this still work? Many of the links visible are in a different language and not relevant. if I get them taken down with a penalty I’ll pass along what to do. I also know how to get any legitimate gmb out of suspension if you want to know how I can walk you through the process.

What is the real secret, "the step by step" to achieve positioning not only in G, but also in YT, which after all are "the same company".
Can a normal site really rank on the first page without having to invest hundreds of dollars in backlinks and this kind of stuff?
When you are in a niche dominated by companies with financial muscle, how do you compete against that when you don't have the resources?
I have read and put into practice I don't know how many tutorials with the "secrets" to position oneself in G first page, without any result, that I honestly doubt that one can position oneself in a competitive or moderately competitive niche, without having to mortgage the house to be able to achieve it.
That's what I would ask this guy if I had the chance.
