He said Local SEO Guide doesn’t really rely on the company’s GMB page for leads, but sent a note to GMB support for help. According to GMB, he moved and opened a hotel, all in the midst of COVID-19. Not only did GMB somehowĬhange the location of this business, but said the company apparently opened a hotel, as Shotland wrote in a post. MediaPost about search, I’ve learned that Blumenthal and Local SEO Guide Founder Andrew Shotland are two funny and smart SEO guys. Thank you, Mike Blumenthal, Near Media co-founder and authority on local search, for calling this to our attention in a tweet. Well, not so funnyīecause Local SEO Guide, an SEO agency, was never located in Kansas, but Google My Business believes the Pleasanton, California, company has been located in Fawn Creek Township, KS, since November I have even had some customers call me from KS.A funny thing happened on the way to Kansas.


If you search "Locksmith Matthews, NC" I am nowhere to be found. You can search "locksmith Independence, KS" and I am now on second page (Was first) This is for my own business and I am literally OUT of business with this. If you have any suggestions or someone you could ask to help I would appreciate it very much. I do not understand if everything is correct in my city/area how I show up in Independence KS and nowhere in "Matthews, NC" They are saying to post pics and posts to help me rank in my city. I did notice before I contacted Google it had " Independence, KS" next to my listing.Īfter my emails/calls it says "Independence, NC"

I have had numerous emails with Google along with a phone call. Ĭlick to expand.Ben could you help me out. Now all of a sudden it Only shows up in a totally different state and with exact name search. Is there something I could do to send signals to Google to show that I am in Matthews, NC?Ģ months ago my listing quit showing up at all unless you typed exact business name
What could possibly cause my listing or Google to do this? I have been without my listing for a few months now and have NO calls coming in from it. If you search Locksmith Independence, KS it shows up on the maps. If you search Locksmith Matthews, NC my listing does not show up at all. Keep in mind the GMB is in Matthews, NC All my service areas and the actual map show the correct areas. Now if I search my business name under the auto populate I see it with Independence, KS on the listing. I pretty much do not have any traffic, views or calls now. Posted about my SAB listing a few weeks ago about not showing up in search only when you entered the exact name.
