Hey! I just added products to my Google My Business page. The company I work for does experiential entertainment so you cant actually buy the products but you can buy tickets to them on the website so I added them as a product with a Learn More button.

Is there a way for me to see how many people clicked "Learn More"??

HI,

Easiest way is to use UTM variables in the links you declare for each product and then check in google analytics.
For an overview of UTM see: https://neilpatel.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-using-utm-parameters/

You could make urls for example like
https://example.com?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=GMB&utm_campaign=Product1
https://example.com?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=GMB&utm_campaign=Product2
https://example.com?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=GMB&utm_campaign=Product3

Hope it helps!

Is it legitimate to both ask and answer question in GMB

I've got a list of FAQ's that my manager would like to see in GMB. Is is ok to simply ask the question and answer them? I thought I'd be able to add them, rather like a photo, but realised, being Google, it's not that straight forward.

Creating multiple GMB listings same address?

Hi Guys, We have a medical centre which has different services like medical, dental, pathology, mental health and 3-4 other services. They are all at the same address within the medical centre. Currently, we have a GMB listing just for the medical centre. But we're looking to create separate GMB listings for each service. I was wondering if anyone has done this before and can speak from experience of the pros and cons of doing this? It seems we will have a lot more GMB listings to manage, but we should benefit more from relevant GMB searchers and this will improve our visibility. Cheers, Mark

Best Approach for GMB/Local Optimization for Central Office with Multiple Locations

Hello, Our site is designed to place people in different locations or houses. We have six locations total; each one has its own name, physical address and landing page. We also have a central office for the brand with its own NAP. All addresses fall under the guidelines of Google My Business (i.e. people visit each location and our office...etc.). Unless it’s ideal, we most likely wouldn’t be running a full-scale local campaign for each location due to restrictions on resources and wouldn’t want to spread ourselves too thin. Our question is; would it be best to set up a GMB listing for each location including our central office, only use the central office or just the 6 locations? – We know multiple locations is not an issue for GMB but we weren’t sure if that’s the ideal way to approach it in this case. Essentially, would it be better to focus on our central office for GMB/local efforts and just make sure that our other location landing pages are the highest quality possible or better to use GMB for every location (including the main office) and over time start local work on all of the above. Also, if we do only use just the central office; should we be avoiding listing the other addresses on each landing page to avoid confusing Google as to where we are located? Any help or insight on how to approach this would be very much appreciated. Looking forward to hearing from all of you! Thank you. Best,

→whats the"Tier 1"?A site that everyone knows? ・GMB Primary Category Matches a Broader Category of the Search Category (e.g. primary category=restaurant & search=pizza)
→In Japan, the size of the category is not set. Italian restaurants are only Italian restaurants. Should I set a restaurant instead of an Italian restaurant? ・Quantity of Inbound Links to Domain from Locally Relevant Domains
→Is this an LP inbound link?
What is the locally relevant domain? ・Quantity of Inbound Links to Domain from Industry-Relevant Domains

Places.SinglePlatform.com "Menu" links on your GMB listing?

I just experienced this and after lots of frustration was able to figure out how it happened and how to fix it (keep reading). **HOW: **So apparently Google did a deal with Constant Contact which owns Singleplatform.com that allows them to publish edits to ANY local business and they have used this to SPAM entire categories of local businesses by adding in a "Appointments" and/or "Menu" link to the Google My Business listing for search/maps and they have done it in such a way that it is extremely difficult to remove/fix. (NOTE: they are not listed in Google's list of 3rd parties which automatically add info to your listing....https://www.google.com/maps/reserve/partners) **THE PROBLEM: You have a link to a menu or appointment page that you did not add and can not edit. **The options for setting a URL for "Menu" and/or "Appointment" (and a few others https://support.google.com/business/answer/6218037) are tied to the Primary Category set on your GMB listing and are only available to certain categories. FIXING: You would think if you are a verified owner of your GMB listing, it would be simple - but Google/SInglePlatform.com have gone to great lengths to make it more difficult.... Step 1 - Make sure you are a verified owner of GMB listing Step 2 - Change your Primary category on the business to one of the categories which supports the link in question (no definitive list, but I know setting Primary to "Restaurant" will get you Menu and "Interior Designer" will get you an Appointment link) Step 3 - Save the new category Step 4 - Now you will have the option under your "URLs" section of GMB listing. Step 5 - Change the URL from the SPAMMY link to a relevant page you control and Save Step 6 - Change Primary Category back to what you want.

GMB listing not showing for local searches

Hi all, I've optimised an existing GMB listing that has been in place for over a year. The client is a yacht/boat broker and marine repair outfit based in Mallorca. When I search for terms that they 'should' be ranking for on Google and on a Maps search, they are nowhere to be found, yet their listing does show when you type in their company name. I've read lots of Local SEO guides and followed their advice but I'm not sure what I'm meant to do next?

Address consistency issue between GMB and directories

We have a mortgage broker client, ABC, who shares an address with another business, XYZ who is a loans company. A previous SEO agency created GMBs for these 2 businesses using the same physical address and recently, we had to resolve this issue of duplicate address with Google. ABC was happy for us to fix the issue up by putting a unit no. "A" thus making their address "#7A Smith Street" and business XYZ now has #7B on their GMB. Our question is will this affect consistency if we were to build citations without "#7A Smith Street" but just using "7 Smith Street" which is their REAL physical address? Business XYZ has also just contracted us for SEO which means we will end up building citations for 2 businesses with the same business address (but different phone numbers). Should we actually continue using "#7A" and "#7B" for citation building even though that's not what their address is? Thank you in advance for your response!

Image names, product names, alt tags the same. Image names with various sizes the same?

I am rebuilding my site and wish to provide the best and complete information about a product and the image, and alt tag for the user. Is it ok, good, to use the same name in a image file name, alt tag, title tag AND product name? It seems to me they should be the same. Why change the product, name , image name, alt tag, and on the product page the title tag? I am working with a product that has the same base name but with more options and duplicate image file names but with different sizes of the image. Example... SLR Camera Strap with a dependable grip pad and nylon web is the core product. Options are kevlar web, rapid releases and then rapid releases with vectran cord or kevlar web. slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-nylon-web_1500p.jpg, slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-kevlar-web_1500p.jpg, slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-large-rapid-release-kevlar-web-ends_1500p.jpg, slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-large-rapid-release-vectran-loop-ends_1500p.jpg, slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-large-web_1500p.jpg, Then... there will be the same image but with different sizes of the same images being built internally and held in the images folder for various devices such as slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-nylon-web_400p.jpg, slr-camera-strap-dependable-grip-pad-nylon-web_100p.jpg and on and on.... As a secondary question the file names are long but that is what it takes to describe it. If I remove the key yet repetitive base name XX camera-strap what I end up with is dependable-grip-pad-kevlar-web What to do? What to do?
