The Mixed Language Mistake Destroying Local Search Relevance I spent three months fighting a hard suspension for a plumbing client whose listing was nuked simply because they shared a suite number with a defunct law firm. Google did not want proof of a van. They wanted proof of a utility bill under the exact GPS…
Technical Fixes for Local Pages That Won’t Index I spent three months fighting a hard suspension for a plumbing client whose listing was nuked simply because they shared a suite number with a defunct law firm. Google did not want proof of a van; they wanted proof of a utility bill under the exact GPS…
The scent of diesel exhaust and burnt coffee fills the room every morning as I look at the dispatch board. In the world of logistics, a broken link in the supply chain means a truck sitting idle on the I-95 at three in the morning. In the world of local search, a broken link in…
