Why Google WONT Approve Your GMB (Google My Business)

In this article, we will discuss the reasons why Google may not approve your Google My Business (GMB) listing and how you can overcome these challenges. We will also explore the importance of engagement and reviews in improving your GMB ranking. Additionally, we will address the question of whether WordPress is a suitable platform for your website and introduce an alternative option called Footbridge. Let's dive in!

The Importance of Engagement and Reviews

When it comes to ranking factors on GMB, engagement and reviews play a significant role. Increasing engagement and obtaining more reviews can greatly improve your business's visibility in Google listings, particularly in the map section. If you have more reviews than your competitors, even if you are located further away, you have a higher chance of securing a top position in the map pack.

Changing Address on Google

If you are planning to move your office to a new location within the same city, you may be wondering about the correct protocol for changing your address on Google. The decision to change your address on Google depends on several factors. If your current location is performing well and generating good leads, it may be best to hold off on changing the address immediately. However, if the new location is more ideal and you believe it will attract more customers, it's worth considering the change.

When changing your address on Google, it's important to do it properly to avoid any negative impact on your business. One effective way to ensure a smooth transition is by using a tool like Yext, which allows you to distribute your new address information across various directories and lock it in to prevent it from being overwritten by outdated data.

Additionally, the use of multiple plugins can slow down your website's load time, leading to a poor user experience and higher bounce rates.

Footbridge offers an alternative to WordPress with its proprietary platform specifically designed for local businesses. Unlike WordPress, Footbridge's platform is optimized for speed, both on mobile and desktop. It provides an ecosystem that is proven to be effective for local businesses, with a monthly cost of $199.

The Benefits of Footbridge

One of the key benefits of using Footbridge is its ability to handle Google My Business (GMB) suspensions. If your GMB listing gets suspended, Footbridge can appeal on your behalf, saving you the hassle and increasing the chances of a successful resolution. This is particularly valuable as GMB suspensions can be challenging to navigate and can negat
