Hi guys,

I want to generate as many leads in a specific industry in my country. Its a local business.

Should I focus more on ranking GMBs in each big city or just trying to rank pages for keywords?

Whats better return on invest for time and money?

I have tried ranking just the website and while it's #1, it barely gets leads.

Ads + GMBs are still the best.

GMB is great, but don't underestimate the power of ranking for specific keywords through your website, it's better to make a content strategy that targets keywords relevant to your niche and local areas. This might take longer to yield results compared to GMB, but it's a solid long term strategy to establish authority and capture organic search traffic.

For local businesses, GMB often offers a better ROI, especially for targeting specific cities. It's quicker for local search visibility compared to traditional keyword ranking. However, don't neglect your website's SEO – it complements your GMB efforts.

GMB in comparaison with ADS offer the higer ROI. Local website doesn´t get you leads. No GMB no local leads.
