Web 20 Ranker founder and Google My Business Optimization expert Chaz speaks at 2017 LCT Live about Local Proximity as a top GMB Ranking Factor.
Outsource your Google My Business – GMB and Local Maps Optimization to Web 20 Ranker and we guarantee we will increase your client’s online visibility. Our strategic approach produces GMB and Local Maps results: We use a variety of means designed to increase a business’s local online presence by improving the brand’s relevance and prominence. No longer can you rely on citations alone, those days are gone. Instead, we create powerful signals that create trust and authority for your brand. And trusted, authoritative brands rank higher, both in the 3 pack and organically.
Because we are so confident in our Google My Business optimization and local maps SEO strategies we offer every campaign a rock-solid guarantee, we will increase your client’s online visibility. And while no one can guarantee 3 pack rankings the vast majority of our 120-day and 180-day campaigns do garner spots in the coveted 3 pack. We measure online visibility two ways, first, using our local SEO audit tool we monitor and rank the brand’s presence on top local listing sites like Google Maps, Bing Places, and Yelp, and monitor and rate their visibility on the top directory and review sites, and second, we monitor GMB Insights to determine increases in views, searches, and actions.
Scale Your Agency. With enough time spent testing what works and what doesn’t, anyone can develop their own GMB optimization system that produces results. But then you either need to do the work yourself, leaving you no time to actually grow your client agency, or you need to spend the long hours training a team of assistants to do it for you. Or you can just click the button below for a high-quality, done for you solution
Efficiency. And for large established agencies, outsourcing makes sense because it eliminates the logistical and costly nightmare of either having a large office for your staff or the expense of employees. Your project managers can suddenly handle 4 or 5 times their current client load and improve the overall customer relationship journey allowing you to scale much faster and quicker than if your team had to deal with fulfillment. We already have the systems and processes in place to handle your growth.
Experience and knowledge. There’s no agency in the world who can match our vast experience in all things Google My Business. Over 600 GMB Campaigns completed in the past two years gives us a tremendous advantage, we can definitively see which tactics produce results and which don’t. Combine that with our constant on-going testing in areas such as local link strategies, My Maps and driving direction maps, geo-local networks, Google Authority Stacks, which citations and directories actually matter, semantic research and where and how to use your local keywords for relevancy, and many other areas designed to increase a brand’s prominence and relevance, and online visibility.
Value and ROI. Our core goal is to provide an ROI not only to you the marketer and agency owner but also to your client. Even though your client will never know we exist, we do care about each GMB listing we optimize and rank. We understand that this listing is probably the lifeblood of the business. It needs to be protected and nurtured to ensure lasting rankings to produce a great ROI for your client. With our wholesale price structure agencies are easily reselling our GMB packages at 100% to 300% mark-ups and it is worth every penny.

Here are some reasons you may not reach the 3 pack: Not having an address in the city you are trying to rank for (Local Maps reward local businesses), Not ranking high enough organically in blended algorithm maps results (Rank = Prominence), Previous spammy link building to your business G+/GMB listing (Don’t spam Google!!), Multiple Businesses with similar names, associations, owners, or addresses in close proximity.

You receive a view key for the duration of the project that you can share with clients and use to monitor and measure performance KPIs.
Can You Verify the GMB Listing For Us?
No, this is not something that we can help you with. Our Google Optimization campaigns require a verified GMB listing prior to beginning any local SEO work.
What are my options for giving access to my GMB account?
We cannot work on your GMB order without access to your account. The easiest method of granting this is to make us a manager of the page. To do this, log in to your account and access the Google My Business page. Select the three dash menu icon in the upper left corner and select Managers. Select the Plus icon and add our email address: maprankingservice@gmail.com, then select the plus again. There are two other options for allowing us the access we need to optimize your account. First, you can choose to supply our team with your Google login credentials associated with your GMB account. You may also choose to create a new Gmail and make that a manager of the page and then provide us with access to that Gmail instead. Additionally, please make sure that your two-step verification is turned off, as we cannot start an order with this in place. No matter how you choose to give us access to your account, don’t forget about supplying the recovery info!
What is recovery info and how do I supply it?
Recovery info is a Google security measure, which allows you to provide a backup email and phone number which you can use if you are ever locked out of your account. As a security measure, it adds another step for anyone trying to access your account without permission. Recovery info is important for our team, as much of the work will be done from locations that are generally not where your last login occurred, causing Google to enact the security measure. To find out how to locate your recovery info for your order, check out our Recovery Info sheet. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mViKMWlFpOVbnCnH2N56PA881wo6k9ptU7NOZzGXjZ4/edit
How do I view the progress of my order?
Once your order has been set up by our team and we have all of the login and recovery info needed to access your GMB account, work can begin on your order. Once work has started, you will be sent an email from our GMB Team, which will include a direct link to your workbook, a baseline visibility report, a competitor citation audit, and the view key to the local SERP tracker.
How do I know when my order is complete?
Through your workbook link, you will be able to watch the full process we use to optimize your GMB listing. Once complete, you will be sent a Final Report Package for your GMB order.
What if the NAP Details Change During the Project?
A consistent NAP is still very important to local rankings. If your client’s NAP details change during the course of the campaign there will be an additional fee required to change or update any work already completed.
What Happens if I Cancel My Monthly Subscription?
Nothing will happen to any existing optimization that was already completed. Your links, social accounts, citations, created content all belong to you after they are paid for. If you cancel we simply complete any existing tasks for that month that you may have outstanding and close your subscription.
What is the turnaround time?
There is no stated turn around time. The Gantt progress chart shows the work that we will perform and the order that we will perform it in. We will progress through each task listed for the month – barring any delays due to account access issues or 3rd party platform issues that we can not be responsible for – otherwise, the stated tasks will be delivered promptly.
What is Your Refund Policy?
There is no refund after work is performed, otherwise, you can contact us anytime for a full refund on any tasks not started.
How Long Does It Take to Start Seeing Results?
Most clients are reporting seeing gains within only days or weeks of campaigns starting, but there is no way to pinpoint an exact date. But because these are some of the best methods, the results always outperform anything you would get from lesser quality providers.
Can I Call or Skype for a Consultation? Can I do it before I place my order?
You can schedule a call via the GMB department’s email listed below if you are a current white label GMB client. We can provide you with one complimentary 15-minute call each month. Calls must be scheduled by email first and it is only available for existing white label GMB clients.
Which Email Do I Use for if I Have Questions?
If you have any questions about your order please email gmb@web20ranker.com.
