    2021 Wishlist for Google My Business?

    Happy holidays all,

    I work for Google and on GMB in particular. I recently discovered this forum a few weeks ago, and I've been really impressed with the wealth of knowledge within this community.

    Given there are a lot of GMB experts here, I'd like to just ask point blank if there are any features or changes that you'd like to see us make in the product next year? [Disclaimer: I can't promise we'll implement all suggestions, but we'll certainly do our best to make any reasonable improvements.]

    I look forward to hearing your suggestions!

    Link building Strategy for keywords ranking

    My question is that I am doing off page activity for local business in Canada USA, Australia. Actually I am doing 5 to 6 offpage activity. Those are blog commenting, business listing, profile creation, bookmarking, directory submission, link wheel, blog posting. Since from 4 months I am doing such activity but I couldn't find any change in keywords ranking. All projects are based on local seo. So should I focus more on local business listing? Keywords rank are dropped. What should be my strategy?Β

    Have you set any guidelines or ground rules for E.A.T.?

    Google recently came out with some new guidelines for ranking. The acronym is EAT which stands for Expertise, Authority and Trustworthiness.Β 

    It’s difficult to really hammer down the metrics of what makes this algorithm tick.Β 

    Have you come up with any best practices to follow EAT guidelines?Β

    Do you reply to every review on Google My Business?

    It's crazy how often I see businesses that literally never reply to reviews on Google My Business.

    Additionally, there are quite a few businesses that just reply to negative reviews, but don't respond at all to positive reviews.

    Do you reply to every review on GMB?

    And if so, do you think it has any impact on rankings?

    Keyword Research

    Hey everyone,

    I’m curious, what you find the most useful when choosing keywords for a new client. I’m not expecting to find new information as much as I am curious the ratio of who uses what.

    Please share with me what your using and possibly even why that’s your top choice. If you use different platforms for different reasons I’m curious about that too.

    Don’t not answer just because someone else has already answered though. I would really like tog at an idea of what tools are most helpful to the community.Β

    What are your thoughts on buying backlinks for local SEO?

    What are your thoughts on buying backlinks for local SEO?

    I come across so many competitors that have backlinks that seem almost certainly bought.

    I mean if a website has no backlinks one day, and then the next day they have 20 backlinks, Google can certainly tell that these aren't legitimate backlinks, right?

    Changing host

    Hi guys,

    Does the website transfer to a different host will affect my SEO, ranking or loading issue. Will my site break?

    My website is slow. I need a host who is based in the UK.
    Now I'm hosting with GoDaddy. When I contact them they always say everything is fine.

    I checked:

    Hostinger UK 80 pence/mo 99.97% β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    HostGator $2.75/mo 99.92% β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    HostPapa Β£1.14/mo 99.89% β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    SiteGround Β£5.99/mo 99.93% β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…
    BluehostΒ 
    20i


    Any of these are good?
    It is hard to transfer the site to a different host? There is anyone here who can do it?



    Thank you


    Godaddy wrote to me these. Don't understand a word? Any meaning in this text or it is written in Chinese?
