Hey Stew, from a quick glance, here were some of the things that jumped out to me:
Photos: There are no photos. This is the place to show off how great your cleaning service is. Maybe some before and after photos? Try to get some photos from every job and consistently upload them to your GMB listing.
Reviews: 12 reviews is pretty good for only being 4 months old :) Try to ask every happy customer for a review.
Questions and Answers: There is currently nothing here, which is wasted opportunity. Google lets you ask questions, and then answer your own questions. Add a bunch of questions that people may be wondering when looking for a cleaning service: Can I book one-time cleanings, or only recurring? Do I need to be out of the house? How long does a cleaning normally take? etc. Just spitballing here.
Posts: Google My Business has a "post" feature that is kind of like a social media post. You should definitely be posting on GMB at least once a week.
Hope that gives you a good start!

Hey everyone! Love the content I'm seeing on here so far. Excited to contribute and learn.
Anyway, can I get some feedback on my client's GMB? Thank you!

Hey David, first of all I think your client's website is amazing! Taking a quick look, it seems like J&R Garage Door Repair Co. is your client's main competitor at the moment, and outranks them in the same area.
You might want to do a check to see if there is any flagrant spam going on in the surrounding area. When I look at J&R, I see that they're using what's probably a fake address.
This might be the owner's only listing, or it could be part of a network of fake location listings. I'd suggest reading over the GMB rules -- if you believe your competitors are in violation, it might be worth reporting.

Is there any harm in hiding the address? Using your extension, I just found out my client listed his home address on the GMB.
I'm also finding that the 3 other garage door companies in the area are likely using some black hat techniques.
Garage Doors Mundelein: possibly invalid address. goes to some parking lot with no storefront in site
Peach Garage Doors: USPS has marked this address inactive. Their address actually goes to a marketing service business address..
J&R: Like you said, doesn't look like a legitimate address.
Am I crazy or can I potentially knock out 3 competitors from the local pack?

Hey guys I have stepped in to help my aunt with her business pretty blind.
Check out the website and see if there are any red flags that would be better to sort out in the first instance potentially! your advice is much appreciated: collineige.com/
**Ideally, we want to show up well if someone googles: Chamonix Chalet**
I'm a creative so no trouble stepping up social media and blog posts but the core issue may be the SEO...her webmaster has recommended a blog post every 2 weeks, is this really helpful or a myth?
Also, I have been using "OneUp" to spread the social posts out across platforms from an RSS feed of our facebook account (I know it's not as ideal as native content but I'm only helping out after all, better than nothing and I happen to spend way too much time on facebook such is life)...anyhow am I missing a useful opportunity to feed to Google MyBusiness? Is this significantly helpful to SEO?
We also started a youtube channel as I know google owns youtube now I thought that might help!

Hey Chamsteen, I would recommend focusing on optimizing your Google My Business listing. That is how you can show up in the map-pack when someone searches "chalets in Chamonix" on Google.
I found your GMB listing, and have some tips mentioned below.
Photos: I think you could have more photos. There are only 2 from January of 2019, and then after that, they are mostly from 2015. The website has a lot of great photos, so why not add some of those to the Photos section of the GMB listing?
Reviews: There are only 10 reviews, and the most recent review with any comments is from 3 years ago. Try to ask every guest who stays there to leave a review on Google.
Questions and Answers: There is currently nothing here, which is wasted opportunity. Google lets you ask questions, and then answer your own questions. Add a bunch of questions that guests may be wondering when looking for a place to book: How close is it to the ski slopes? Is there a restaurant there? Is there a minimum stay?
I'm just throwing those out there, but your Aunt probably could tell you the questions that she repeatedly gets via phone calls. Take those questions and add them to the Q&A section, with an answer as well.
Posts: You mentioned GMB posts, but Google does not allow hotels or B&Bs to post on their GMB listing, so you need not worry about it.

Hi everyone, Based in Brisbane, Australia. I have a home building inspector client.
https://g.page/cameron-sims-building-and-pest. Their category is "Building Inspector", however many of their competitors are listed as "Home Inspector" (used Pleper to check). When I have looked at the GMB Categories and changing the primary category to "Home Inspector" the "Home Inspector" category is not available in the list of categories. Can anyone shine any light on why that is? Especially when competitors are all in this same location with "Home Inspector" prnt.sc/uwh0sw Or am I looking at this the wrong way? TIA. Megan

GMB is constantly changing. Best to hit up GMB on twitter or contact support to see if you can get home inspector.
However, I would check your current analytics for keyword and find out what one is of more value Home or Building.

Hi guys,
I’ve been helping a client out with her website for her cosmetic business located in Southampton, UK.
Her website has improved in the rankings thanks to the changes I’ve made. However the GMB listing for her business has been dropping for particular keywords she is trying to rank for such as “Botox” or “laser hair removal”
The profile has lots of 5 star reviews and she’s pretty active on it so I’m not sure why it’s dropping.
Have I missed something? Any help appreciated!

Hey Jim, proximity has a huge effect on local rankings, so it's normal to see very different results if you're searching from another city. With some business categories it's not unusual to get different results going from block to block in a downtown area.
Here are some example grid scans I did that show the importance of proximity:
To add to that, even the time of day makes a difference! Google wants to show businesses that are open, so keep that in mind as well.
And finally, results can "pop" up and down randomly -- we could stand together with our phones and see different results for the exact same search term. This is just my theory, but I believe it's best to think of the rankings in terms of "visibility", and not as a static list, so your visibility is an average over a large number of searches.
That's why I built Persuaded.io's rank tracker to sample over a large grid of points, so that you're seeing both the effect of proximity, and also taking into account some of the innate randomness.

Also I’m looking for someone to do gmb optimization to increase my ranking for keywords and website seo.

Not too bad. Still some optimization opportunities:
- Adding "best realtor" the business name will help you rank, but carries a small risk of getting your listing suspended.
- I would add more products (they can be services) and I would suggest adding a bunch of questions and answers. All your frequently asked questions. You can ask and answer your own questions.
- Add more content to your Google posts. The text content from Posts can get pulled into other areas in the search results.

Experts: Trying to get one of my car dealership GMB listings to show 'Departments' instead of 'Directory' -
Can't think of anything I did different between the two that would cause this. Thanks for any insight!
Listing that shows “Departments”

I agree with Darren. I work with hundreds of Car Dealer GMBs and this is the first time i have seen this. Let us know if anything changes.

Hey Glenn,
I ran a few scans on your GMB in Persuaded.io, and came up with this result for your ranking coverage, when I search for "home inspections."
When I take a look at where your rankings start to fall off, I see that several of your competitors are putting "Brisbane" in their title.
Putting terms like "Brisbane" in the title might be what's called "keyword stuffing", depending on whether or not Brisbane is really part of their legal business name. A lot of folks are keyword stuffing these days because despite being against the rules, it's effective.
I would recommend first trying "Suggest an Edit" to remove Brisbane from their titles. If your edits are rejected or not applied after a few weeks, you could then try the Google My Business Redressal Form -- here's a guide to using that form. If you can get any keyword stuffing removed from your competitor's names you may see a shift in the rankings that would give you a bump.
Hope that helps!
