  1. A dental practice has 5 locations. What is the recommended GBP structure?

    Answer: A separate, verified GBP profile for each individual location

    Each physical location should have its own verified GBP profile to maximize local visibility for that specific address.

  2. What is a 'local landing page' and what makes it effective for Local SEO?

    Answer: A location-specific page with unique content, NAP, embedded map, and localized keywords targeting a city or region

    Effective local landing pages have unique content per location, consistent NAP, a Google Maps embed, and naturally localized keyword usage.

  3. Which of the following is considered a 'hard NAP inconsistency' that most damages local rankings?

    Answer: Listing a disconnected phone number or a different city than the actual location

    A wrong phone number or incorrect city in citations is a hard inconsistency that misleads both users and Google about the business's true location.

  4. What is the main benefit of embedding a Google Map on your local business website?

    Answer: It reinforces geographic relevance signals for the page and helps users find the location

    Embedding a Google Map tied to your GBP listing reinforces geographic context on the page and improves user experience for local visitors.

  5. How does 'proximity' factor into Local Pack rankings?

    Answer: It measures how close the searcher is to the business at the time of the query

    Proximity is the distance between the user's location and the business when the search is performed, and it is one of Google's three core Local Pack ranking factors.

  6. What is 'citation building' in Local SEO?

    Answer: Creating consistent mentions of a business's NAP on external directories, websites, and platforms

    Citation building involves listing your business's NAP on authoritative directories like Yelp, YellowPages, and industry-specific sites to establish local trust signals.

  7. A local florist wants to rank for 'flower delivery [city]' but the term doesn't appear in their primary GBP category. What is the best fix?

    Answer: Add 'Florist' as primary category and 'Flower Delivery' as an additional category, and update services

    Adding relevant additional categories and explicitly listing services in GBP helps Google understand the full scope of the business's offerings.
