Steal My GBP Checklist

+ important Darren updates

Hi there!

Here’s your weekly dose of local SEO stuff 👇️

1. Steal this list of regular GBP tasks that we do for our clients

  1. Post Google Updates Weekly: Share Google Posts to keep your Profile active and engaging. Create them to be more like ads, NOT social posts.

  2. Add New Photos Weekly: Upload fresh photos regularly, as they can boost both your rankings and conversions.

  3. Add new Q&A Weekly: We are always developing new Q&A for our clients and upload them 1 per week to their GBPs.

  4. Upload Videos Regularly: Share videos whenever possible to enhance engagement and visibility.

  5. Manage Reviews Regularly: Respond to reviews as they come in to show engagement and improve customer trust.

  6. Update Services Section Monthly: Review your services monthly and make updates to reflect any changes and stay relevant in search results.

  7. Monthly Profile Check-Up: Review your Profile monthly, especially to see if Google has added new categories or attributes. Adding new, relevant categories/attributes can help improve your rankings.

If this sounds like too much work, we have a team that can do all of these tasks (and more) for you 👇️

2. Everything you need to know about GBP Justifications

What are they? Why would you want them? How do you get them?

I answer all of these questions in this carousel 👇️

And a bonus tip ⬇️

Add emojis to your service titles. They'll help your listing stand out and draw more clicks when you get the "Provides" justification:

  • Provides 🚗 car accident lawyer

  • Provides 💇🏻‍♀️ haircuts

  • Provides 🚴🏻 bicycle repair

See the LinkedIn carousel here.

3. Do Google Posts impact rankings?

Google Posts are not a direct ranking factor, but they can help your rankings indirectly.

5. Some news about my socials

You can now get all my Local SEO content on Instagram and Threads too. I tend to post different things on the different channels, so be sure to follow me on all the places.

I’m thinking of creating a Facebook account too, but is anyone still there? Do they want my local SEO tips on Facebook, or do they only want photos of cats and babies? Let me know!
