Q&A:

15:03 My question is about Google LSA, Google Guaranteed, I have a client that is using LSA, has a fairly high budget but doesn’t show in LSA when looking for “service” or “service + city”. If you look for “service + zip” they’ll show every time. What would be the cause, and resolution?

18:51 Question regarding the recent case study (“How We Achieved Map Pack Rankings For A Multi-Location SAB“) can you be clear regarding the postcards, once the postcard is received and the listing is verified, you do not change it to a SAB, nor block off the address, correct?

19:15 Did an accelerated GMB service get done on every GMB listing?
21:59 How did you determine how often you would open up a GMB?

36:48 What Is The Best Strategy To Compete With Competitors In A Super Competitive Niche From A Brand Perspective?

45:09 I just created a GMB, it auto verified it? does that happen?

53:45 Has anyone noticed that when a client is running Google guaranteed ads is it harder to get them into the 3-pack?
