In case you missed the last few updates, you can catch up on the previous updates here If you are familiar with the old school method of link swapping, the concept was simple. You would link to someone else’s website in exchange for a link from their website. Google has looked down on this practice for a long time and has penalized it, but we wanted to see if it had any value when it comes to local… What if GMB listings did a link swap? The first thing we needed to figure out was understanding the value of GMB links, which brings us to our first test. Using 10 GMB listings in a franchise, we created promotional posts with one of our listings NAP, keywords, CID and other citations. We then syndicated the post across all 10 GMBs which linked back to our target GMB listing. We began to see our initial results over the next few weeks. Below you’ll find the geogrid snapshots. You’ll notice we are zoomed in to try but that is to protect the location as we are still running tests on it. The first image was steady for months before and the second image is a couple of weeks after posting… We did see a spike in GMB impressions as well but need to continue with tests to ensure this isn’t just regular movement. We are currently working on repeating these tests with non-franchise GMB listings to see how it responds with completely different brands. Our final test will be “swapping” links on the GMB where each one will post to the other, to test the final effectiveness of this method. Outreach to GMB owners for link acquisition may be useful but only our tests will tell. Join us next week as we go over more of our current GMB tests and results!
