Local SEO is a tricky business. Ranking high on Google maps is what everyone wants, but unfortunately, there is only room for 3 in the Google snack pack.

This really works. I did it with a large corporate company. It was changed within 5 minutes. The permanently closed suggestion works too. A no longer in business company was still in my way. I don’t know what they do to check, but it has gone. Thanks for all your videos. Did I mention that I got to 1st place in google maps, not for my town, but the whole county. Cheers 👍
when i searched 24 hour emergency dentist london. Kings Cross dental is still #1 . This would 5 months after you did this. Your comments?
Love it. I will be doing this for my clients.
Great video, any idea when Local Falcon will update to make SAB’s with no permanent address enabled?
Tried…worked…thnx
That helped a lot!
If we making any changes does it reveal our googal profile or identity to them ?
Amazing content!!!
Poor dentist lol
Another fantastic video. Used it once already!
Hi Luke, so what if I am ranking legitimately, can my competition then change my name as well in the "Suggest an edit section" to lower my rankings?
Great video, removed close to 50 spammers..
Great video – Stirling program – I will be using that daily
So we should pr shouldn't include a key word in our name? Lol
BOOOOMMMM!!!! Wow!
Why, if I enter English breakfast on google business,s do restaurants that do not serve this get a higher ranking than myself when i am the ony restarant here in Alicante Spain that serves this?
Learning a lot from you Luc and enjoying watching my business go from strength to strength with your tips but have a couple of questions. Are businesses notified when someone has made an edit to their listing? Can businesses find out who is responsible for the edit to their listing?
I have been watching a lot of Ranking Academy videos to help my little business get a better presence online. I have used a number of tips for my new (to be released soon) website, added my company details to a number of local directories, added posts and features in my Google Business and Facebook pages. My company is a bookkeeping business located in Bondi Junction (Sydney) Australia. Today I googled "Bookkeeping Services Bondi Junction" and my company since December has slowly gone up the ladder… from no 9 we are now number 3 on the Google Snack Pack. I have learned so much from these videos and very thankful for Luke's generosity in sharing all his knowledge.
Luc, I am giving this a try myself now.
One other thing that I noticed is that some of my competitors actually don't even have a Business License. I searched some of my competitors on the Better Business Bureau website where I am an Accredited Member with an A+ rating, so I'm now wondering how changing a "so called company" name listing would work?
Hello,
I have tried reporting to google about the spammers, when i did report it .. It shows as your edit is under review.. Its been more than a week now. Havent got any updats since then.. Any reason behind it
Great Video! I just discovered your channel and super impressed by your delivery and content. I found several businesses spamming WordPress and Website Design in their titles for my competitors and promptly suggested edit to the business name and they did update almost immediately. Kudos for all the responses you give to the comments on your videos… especially to the few that dissented. Google deals with millions and millions of listings it takes crowdsourcing sometimes to report spammers. Many know what they are doing with these spammy company titles. A+
Not a hack. Not going to get you to #1 it removes competitors. Click bait bullshit.
Hi. I am really enjoying your videos and getting a lot of value from them. I am keen to learn enough and be confident to offer ranking services to other companies, but not sure what I need to know, how to show them evidence of what I can offer them and, what to charge. Do you have any advice?
How do you find out what keywords your competitors rank for?
subscribed! 😊
I like your hint, but these guys can rename it again and again. How can we reach a longterm benefit by doing this? Greetings
Very useful. Thankyou
So anyone can edit the name of other businesses…what would prevent someone from changing the name of a real business, not just spammers? Sometimes you cant tell which one is real. What can Google do about it? Its becoming a wild west!
Hi, thank you so much for this video. After watching it, I've looked around to see what businesses near mine are doing on Google Maps and oh boy, so much cheating. I proceeded with the name changing suggestion for one them but it's been a few days and Google doesn't show the update. Is that normal? Also, one business has three different listings on Google Maps with domains redirecting to their main one. Is this something I can report as well? Thanks for your help! This info was totally new to me and I am so glad I came across your channel.
You replied all comments that's the tactics of good SEO
QUESTION: I have a question on a non-topic, but important. When you geo-grid photos to put on google plus, it allows you to drop a pin for the location OR put your address in that you have registered with google plus (your business location). Being that I am a service company, and build outdoor living areas in the field, can I pin the photo at the location the job took place, or must I only pin the photo for geo-gridding at my business location Google Plus has on file only? I would rather pin each photo to the job sites, thus spreading my pins throughout my service area. This way over time once the 100's of photos I have on G+ are all pinned and named ie: "landscaping Toledo Ohio" over time I will have my entire 40 mile service area covered with all of the keywords I want via photos. I HOPE THIS MAKES SENSE. Thanks !!!
this is ridiculous, SEO is basically a Google hack, they state in their terms and conditions that if you go out and seek a link that is against what they say to do. This is like negative SEO.
Also what about service businesses that you know don't have an address & only see customers at their home but who show their address on their GMB listing which we know Google gives an advantage to? Can that be modified too in the same way or is that a different process?
Is there any comeback on you from Google for reporting it? I am sure I read somewhere before an agency type guy said his listing was suspended instead. Would you advise doing it annoymously?
After 2 weeks i am able rank my business at no 1/2 spot in local maps within 3kms radius.. Earlier it was at 13/14 number ….Thank you….
thank you, great video
Smart video and you said to a comment:
nice to you that you answer comments"however there will be a notification in his google my business dashboard" right? At that notification also says Who made the change? Our name is protected?Hello again, and thanks for your response. Perhaps you could post a response to this question? What is the most effective manner to share videos to Linkedin? I like the Youtube analytics, however if there is a better way to promote my videos on Linkedin, I'm appreciative for your help.
Thanks,
Delfino
Great video! tks
