SEO Q&A

18:25 I have a GMB for a window replacement business that is a residential home located in the main city I want to rank for. We dont work out of that house its just for the GMB and it is steadily in the 3 pack. We opened up a showroom in a town about 10 miles away and I want a GMB for there too. I dont want to give up the other one in the MAIN CITY. But I would also like one if I can get one for the showroom 10 miles away. When I bought the showroom building 7 months ago, I tried to get a GMB under a different but similar company name, with different gmail but as soon as I verified postcard Google suspended the listing and I have not done anything else since. Should i try to reinstate that listing? I did this because I assume I cant add another location to my main city listing? Need some help.
42:40 Is it possible to rank 1 page sites that contain quality content? Or do u recommend service pages or blog posts to complement them?
47:12 Can you talk a bit more about your anchor ratio strategy and its effectiveness?
50:25 How do I rank for a city in organic results – no GMB. I want to create locally oriented sites and flip them
