Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thanks so much Ramon, very helpful

Hi there

I specialise in helping Local businesses with their online visibility through SEO. More recently I have been thinking about delving into Google AdWords so i can offer an additional service to my small business owner but was wondering what the best approach would be.
Should I use Google AdWords express or just Google AdWords? Should I set up individual accounts for each of my clients so they are somehow "portable" or should they all sit under the same master account?

As you can see my knowledge is somehow limited and any help would be welcome. If you can point me in some easy to follow tutorial directly aimed at PPC for small businesses that would be awesome.

Many thanks

Thank you so much Miriam. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Very helpful indeed

Thanks for taking the time myriam.

I have responded to the questions below

• 1. Is the name of your business different than the name of a given train station. Yes

  2. Do you have your own phone number at each train station, or are calls to you being routed through an answering service/desk belonging to each train station? Calls are rerouted via a call centre

  3. Would you consider your business a "department" of a train station? Yes

Hi Miriam

We run train services between several countries. We sell/exchange tickets at the stations from our our ticket desk facilities which also include VIP lounges, departure lounges etc.. So it's all brick and mortar stuff. It's pretty much the same as an airlines within an airport.

Hi

I have a client who has created multiple GMB listings for his business using the same address, post code and phone number and I am trying to sort it all out.

2 of the listings have 1 review and 1 of them has 13 reviews.

Obviously i want to keep the listing that has 13 reviews and delete the other 2. Keeping the listing with 13 reviews means I will have to update the business name in Google my business because it was originally entered wrongly.

Will the profile need to be verified again? Will my client be able to keep those reviews or will they be deleted?

Thanks

Hi There

I work for an international train company which operates in multiple locations across several European countries.
I have been asked to claim our Google my business profiles for each location so we can manage reviews, images etc..

The problem i have is that our physical location (ticket desk, check in area etc..) in each country is in a train station (obviously).  We share the same address and postcode with the train stations ( i have personally phone them to make sure that was the case)

My question is, can i claim our business in GMB using the same details as the train stations?
If i can, it is literally  impossible for me to verify each profile through the use of coupon as I can't travel to each destination. I heard i could do bulk verification if we own more that 10 properties but I am not quite sure how to do all of it

Any help on both these questions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks very much Miriam

Hi there

I have been contacted by a small business to help them with their <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym> effort. 
The business is a children's club offering drama classes, music classes etc...

Looking at their online visibility shows they don't even have a Google my business profile which is where i was going to start however, they operate from a local school after hours. The local school already has a GMB profile, obviously with the same address and postcode.

Is it possible to set up a GMB for the children's club anyway?

Many thanks

A friend of mine runs a B&B and asked me to check his freshly built website to see if it was <acronym title="Search Engine Optimization">SEO</acronym> compliant. 
The B&B is based in France and he's targeting a UK and French audience.

To do so, he built content in english and french under the same domain:
https://www.la-besace.fr/

When I run a crawl through screamingfrog only the French content based URLs seem to come up and I am not sure why. Can anyone enlighten me please?

To maximise his business local visibility my recommendation would be to build two different websites (1 FR and 1 .co.uk) , build content in the respective language version sites and do all the link building work in respective country sites.

Do you think this is the best approach or should he stick with his current solution?
