Google My Business Shares Recommendation On Working With Third Parties!

Google My Business has shared guidelines for businesses to work with third parties – it shares the best practices to choose an SEO company.
“While Google My Business is free, third-parties often charge a fee to manage your listing. They can provide valuable services like keeping your listing up-to-date, providing you with customer insights, answering your questions, and responding to reviews. It’s important to understand the benefits you may be getting from a third-party so you can evaluate whether you’re getting the best return on your investment.”
Five best practices that have been shared are:
  • Be Selective
  • Work with one at a time
  • Educate yourself
  • Trust Experience
  • Evaluate your performance
Google also warned about the deceptive behavior of some third parties and shared the red flags to watch out for:
  • Not being transparent. You have a right to know how users are interacting with your business, including specific data like the number of views and clicks to your business listing.
  • Guaranteeing placement on Google. It is not possible for third-parties to influence the order in which your business appears on Google Search or Maps. Learn more about local search ranking
  • Claiming to work for Google. If a third-party representative claims to be employed by Google, ask for their name and request that they email you from their @google.com (not @gmail.com) email address.
  • Making threats. Third-parties can’t remove your business from Google or access your listing without your explicit permission.
  • Deceptive pricing. Malicious third-parties may not charge you using the pricing you agreed to. Always get an official copy of your agreement before working with a third-party.

How to Improve SEO Rankings with Google Plus

In our attempts to improve SEO rankings we do miracles and try everything we can think of. Of course, even if we could, it makes no sense to try absolutely everything. What makes the most sense, is to try something that does have a great effect on our SEO rankings, yet is not known to everybody and their brother. G+, Google's social network meets these requirements – seems to do miracles for rankings, while most people, (except those who try everything), who do employ social networks for SEO, concentrate their efforts on Facebook because it is more popular than G+. However, it turns out G+ pays more for our efforts than Facebook and the other social networks. Here is why. Why Google Plus Is Especially Important for SEO While Google denies any direct relationship between Google Plus content and activity on one hand and SEO rankings on other, very often good ranking sites have good Google Plus activity.
