I agree with Mikelhill
I also used that strategy to put more keywords previously I have only 1 key word Legal translation Dubai in Google My Business. and good search map volume i was receiving. then I used tens of keywords and i lose my ranking and search volume

Hi, I have some experience with my Heating in Scarborough Google My Business. I applied too many keywords for optimization and SEO ranking. The listing was on the 7th number before optimization with too many keywords. After that it de-ranked and went on 9th/ Then I used main and a few keywords. Focused more on location I worked now it is in 5th position.

Hi,
You can add some keyword to the name of your GMB, but you have to be very careful. Google will consider this technique as spam and your listing might get suspended.

Keyword ranking verse all other data
Hi there I have just joined Moz so I am not sure if i am doing a good job of analysing all the data, but from what i can see i have a few questions: 1. I seem to have a fairly high visibility compared to a few other competitors 2. All the other competitors i am looking at have a much lower domain authority 3. I win the link metrics in all categories compared to my competitors 4. I have a page optimisation score of 94 5. I dont have any crawl issues (except that i just changed to https and i believe there is a synching issue with Moz and cloud flare..) YET I barely rank for any of the main keyword in my industry.... Kitchen, New Kitchen, Kitchen Renovation etc. I also have a page optimisation score of 94 for related keywords. I feel like i am really missing a big point and was hoping I could get your expert thoughts on this 🙂 Thanks so much! PS my domain is www.bluetea.com.au

Question about duplicate listings on site for product listings.
We list products on our site and suspect that we have been hit by Panda as we are duplicating listings across our own site. Not intentionally, we just have multiple pages listings the same content as they fall into multiple categories. Has anyone else had the same issue and if so how did you deal with it?.. Have you seen a change in results/rankings due to the changes you made?

How to NOT appear in Google results in other countries?
I have ecommerce sites the only serve US and Canada. Is there a way to prevent a site from appearing in the Google results in foreign countries? The reason I ask is that we also have a lot of informational pages that folks in other countries are visiting, then leaving right after reading. This is making our overall Bounce Rate very high (64%). When we segment the GA data to look at just our US visitors, then the Bounce Rate drops a lot. (to 48%) Thanks!

National Consulting Firm Home Based Business - And Filling Out The GetListed.org Listings
I have mainly focused on SEO for local businesses and one of the 1st steps after optimizing my on page SEO I would attempt to claim all my free listings as those on GetListed.org. But this client is focusing on a more national market and lists an 800 number on his website. Should I suggest he display his local number also. And when I reference his phone number on the Get Listed.org opportunities should I also use his local number? Thanks

For an SAB (Service Area Business) with a hidden address - Can you have more then one listing? Can you use a free Google Voice number? Can you forward the number to a main number? Can the listing be in an office building? Such as a rented space... For a non SAB listing with the address visible - Can you use free Google voice numbers for each listing and forward them to one main number?
