Hey everyone, hope this all finds everyone well. I need help — I’ve been stressed trying to figure this out.
I started a Local SEO agency and got my first client, and man, it’s been rough. Re-reverification after re-reverification, suspension, reinstatement… since I’m a little new to this game, I was really just trying to get hands-on experience.
The main issue I’m encountering is this:
Originally, I wanted to add the client’s home address, but I got rejected. I noticed there were no options to verify through phone, email, or postcard — nothing like that — just video verification. And that’s when it began. Trying to bypass it, being sneaky, but Google just caught on.
I ended up saying “f it, we’re doing a SAB,” and I bought citations about a month ago and didn’t really see anything — still terrible rankings. So then I’m going to PBN them, hoping I see a jump. I also dont know if im getting ahead of my self. I am getting consistent reviews though for the client, finding random people, friends, and family. Also, GBP post automations I built to keep it fresh.
I’m just hoping someone can point me in the right direction, and whether I should try doing a home address for the next clients — but how would I even do that without getting clapped by Google with video verification?
Is that the only way I could’ve gotten this client results faster? - And if it is, i want to learn what i can do better for the future.
