In this video, I break down what actually moves the needle for Google Business Profile and local rankings versus what’s just a waste of time, plus the exact playbook we used to blow up this client’s visibility, leads, and revenue.

If you want to learn from someone who’s in the trenches — not just selling theory — here’s what this video covers:
• Why geo-tagging photos and keywords in your business description don’t help you rank
• Why your Google Business Profile category is one of the strongest ranking signals you can control
• Why reviews (quality, quantity, recency, and velocity) are an easy S tier factor
• Why keywords in your actual business name can cause overnight ranking jumps
• Why proximity to the searcher and physical address matter more than almost anything else
• Why backlinks from locally relevant sites are one of the most underrated ranking signals
• What NOT to waste your time on: CTR bots, fake driving directions, and question seeding
• The exact case study breakdown: how we took a client from ranking 54th to #1 in 35 days
