Optimizing your google my business listing or, what is now known as your Google Business Profile, is actually quite simple.

    Probably the most consistently helpful and descriptive YouTube channel there is when it comes to the tactics that really matter. There's always a full explanation, so you're not left scratching your head as to what should be done next.
  • @l31fos15
    The first video I've ever watched about local seo and someone from the UK as well. Will be watching more - Keep up the great work
  • @JimAlbers
    I've watched a lot of guides and tutorials on many topics, but few are as clear and concise as this! Amazing!
  • when you combine theory with practical it just becomes a great video to learn from. Thanks
  • Your content, as always, is well-researched, well-organized, and well-delivered. I went from knowing zero about SEO to getting my wife's small business to the top of local search in 9 months following many of the strategies that you suggest. The GMB Everywhere tool seems incredible, and I will download it as soon as it's available again. Thank you!!
  • @frankbazadier
    I'm going to continue to shower you w/ praises, and share your videos with all my friends who have business and are willing to put the work in to improve their rankings on Google maps. Your videos are so practical and effective, therefore I am forever a RA subscriber and pupil.
  • Excellent content as usual. You are now my go to guru! Love how you clearly present the detail and provide resources such as this cheat sheet! Keep it coming.
  • To anyone looking for how to really do SEO - this is it. I've done the same exact things with great success for over ten years. Very well presented, very solid info. And he's right that most agencies don't want to do this manual work. It's not magic and there are no tricks. It just takes work and a little knowledge. Well done sir!

    Finally caught up. I can confirm how important reviews are to an online business. Not just the number of stars but how you deal with the reviews. Many business do not realise that they should reply to reviews, especially the one and two star ones. Firstly a review is part of a conversation. Someone is talking to you. So reply to them. If you get a bad review how you deal with it can make or break your business. I know of a local food outlet which decided to attack one of its reviewers personally because he gave a poor review. That business is no longer in business. If they had apologised for his experience then asked for him to contact them privately to deal with it that would shown that they are a business which cares. That reflects well on the business. That means other customers are more likely to use your business. Yes a customer did not have a good time. But you are taking steps to resolve that problem. As a quick tip. Each reply does not need to be more than three lines usually, unless you feel more needs to be added. And no stock phrases.
  • @MakinMoves
    Yet another great video, Luc. You're absolutely spot on with all your suggestions. I must say, if you're looking to rank your local business on Google My Business in 2022, the information you provide will get you there. Great job and thanks again for all the hard work you do in this community.
  • @Solopraneur
    Thank you so much for making this clarification between Google my business and Google business profile. I am in the process of setting up my Google business profile and I have watched so many YouTube videos trying to figure this out and I could not even answer that simple question. Period. I know there had been changes made but people just weren’t explaining it. Thank you so much. I am definitely about to watch a bunch of your videos. What I found out was instead of telling people how to do things most videos give you just enough information to figure it out on your own if you want to spend countless hours but they really are just steering you towards their ownonline marketing service
  • killer vid. I was able to move from 5 to 2nd in less than 5 min thank you so much. Correction 8 min later I took 1st !!! and he's got 5 times the reviews
  • @premas2981
    I can't thank you enough. I'm heading a marketing team for our food chain franchise company. We hire a SEO agency to do a SEO for our franchisees. We wasn't that satisfy with the agency efforts and the end result. Therefore, I have decided to understand SEO myself better and here I am landed on your video. You made my life so much easy by providing detailed step to step guide in a short video. I have been cracking my head for past few days on the same topic but the information I gathered wasn't that detailed and on point as yours. I can't wait to try and test your guide. Thank you πŸ™
  • @Frtgpo

I am studying your advices so I have a huge advantage over others who don't make the effort and soon I am going to offer this Profile optimization as a service here in Switzerland. I think the results will be overwhelming and I look forward to it. Thank you for making this possible
