This is A PERFECT EXAMPLE of why you should be doing this!!
A friend hits me up and asks if I can help him figure something out for one of his buddies from his network.
So he says this guy is one of the top insurance agents in OK and he is getting outranked on Google Maps…
I tell him to send me his info so I can take a look.
So this guy is a part of one of the largest insurance firms in the nation and he is killing it in this state.
He has just under 500 5-star reviews and about 400 custom images uploaded to his GMB!!! Fully established for sure!
But he is getting outranked by those with like 30 reviews and 8 photos!! And less time in the biz and on the map!
But get this.
These are all also a part of the same insurance firm and corporate created the listings with all the same info…
products are all the same, FAQ is all the same, Descriptions, categories, frequent posts, and services, are all the same.
Why is he not ranking higher???!!!
So I start to dig and discover he has not been fully optimized by corporate like all of his colleagues!!
He is missing all the regular posts (he has 1 total), and he is missing the 21-question FAQ.
These 2 small but critical things have been preventing him from dominating his area for YEARS it appears!!!
All because of the lack of regular content and some quick optimization strategies. This has probably cost him a stomach-churning amount of revenue!!
He is interested in learning about other techniques we use to help him beat out the competition and will have a consultation soon.
