If anyone ever has a desire to demonstrate to a younger generation what it was like to use dial-up, I recommend using Google’s Local Service Ads dashboard.
Has anyone ever had a great client who used the phrase, “I paid good money to….”? I feel like that is a red flag phrase. Anyone else have any red flag phrases from clients that they’d like to share?
When posts first rolled out to GBP section, I tested their ranking impact extensively. They had little to no impact on rankings. Pay close attention to the cities and industries Google rolls changes out to first. Post’s ranking impact may be worth retesting in select markets.
