Google Short Name - SEO Tip

What’s up everyone. Working on my SEO for my new business expansion (explains the lack of reviews) and I came across this (https://blumenthals.com/blog/2019/04/16/google-my-business-rolling-out-short-names/).

It is basically a short cut url that you can customize (only three times a year) on your Google My Business profile.

Here’s mine…

www.g.page/pressurewashingcalifornia

or just

g.page/pressurewashingcalifornia

@Steamworks Did you forget what @SurfaceTherapy said in reply to your first post? :grin:

It kinda looks like you’re trying to get some cheap SEO here. Your website is listed four times in a total of two posts.

Nah dude, he’s cool. I remember him from way back, when he joined 18 minutes ago. Solid cat, lots of good info :roll_eyes:
I’ve got a dollar for any mod that wants to edit the URLs he posted

It’s ok other than annoying all of us, lol., Google pretty much ignores forum links for SEO for past few years. They consider that 95% of them are spam so you really don’t get any credit for them. Heck, for $5 you can get 100’s of forum links on Fiverr.

I am so sorry guys! I really didn’t mean to upset you. I’m assuming that you must pay way more for your membership than I do which gives you the right to act as the PWR security guards.

If you wanted to help the administrator you would welcome newbies a little better so they would spend some money on the site and not go to another forum.

Again, I didn’t mean to offend you guys or annoy you with my url. I was (you caught me) trying to help my SEO for my new site by posting content that might help. But I also spend a ridiculous amount of money every on these sites to help support our community instead of Amazon/Walmart so don’t be so quick to judge.

I give up. How is posting a link to someone else’s article about Google maps on here, and was a useful article, for people not in the business, going to help your SEO. As I said in the post above, you’ve already got a forum link for your site once for what it’s worth. You don’t gain anything by posting it everytime. You only get credit for it once. In the old days it use to work. So at this stage you’re not gaining anything from it and it kind of looks like you’re spamming the site. There are 1000’s of members here and you’re the only one doing it so that may suggest something.

We’re glad to have you on the site, we are always glad to have new input and I’m sure the sponsors appreciate your patronage.

Apparently you don’t give up. However, I do think that sharing a link on how to create a short name through Google My Business was far more helpful to anyone reading than the (what I consider), “no life” comments on my post. But I’m sure it made you all feel really good and closer than ever like a real unit.

You guys hated on me for trying to further my marketing while sharing info instead of chipping in on the actual topic.

Like mamma always said, “If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it at all.”

Can’t believe my url really shook everyone up the way it did.

Taylor, I realize you’re in CA, the most entitled state in the universe, and you may fill like because you contributed something that you should get something back in return. As I previously said, it was a good link and I’m sure will be appreciated by some and we’re glad to have you on the site. But you had been asked earlier to just not post a link to your site with every post.

Think about it. Some of these threads are many pages long already. A lot of people on here use their phones to access the site. If everyone on here added a signature link to EVERY post they did, some threads would literally be thousands of pages. That’s a lot of swiping and scrolling. We understand why you may have done it once, but it would be the courteous thing to do to stop after that.

I don’t care and not my site. Put up a poll and let everyone vote on whether we should all start adding a signature link to all our posts if it’s that important to you.

I don’t think anybody’s actually upset at all. Or “shook up” either. Pretty laid back group of people here honestly.

I apologize for not saying Hi first before I poked at you for trying a quick SEO smash-and-grab. That was lame of me, I’m usually better about that.

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing the information!

Again, apologies for yipping at ya right out of the gate. You’re absolutely right, it was rude, and I’ll do better in the future.

Thanks Jake and have a good day. Wish you much success.

And Racer, I’m from Northern Nevada and have only lived California for about 4 months now, which is why I mentioned an expansion earlier. Yes, expansion. I operate in two states. After boot strapping my first business and bringing it to a point of almost complete self-sufficiency, I decided I would roll the dice on a new biz out here by the beautiful ocean.

Good luck with it. Congrats on your expansion. It is nice out there in a lot of places, but as you know, a tough place to do business. Don’t take stuff so personal here. It wasn’t a personal attack. You obviously don’t know me, but I’m about the easiest going person around. I enjoy teaching and trying to help as many as I can with my limited knowledge, and I think I’ve help one or 2 on here. And last time I checked I didn’t receive any compensation seo wise or otherwise. I do have a pretty strong belief in fairness. Thanks for pulling the sig down.

She looked drunk and confused the whole time. Her tearing up the speech is making more trumpers by the minute.

yeah, Dem’s are there own worse enemies lately. I wonder what the whole cost was of all the impeachment crap when you figure staffers, lawyers and all the other costs.

All the people X 2.5 years so we’re talking millions. But hey, it’s not their money so why should they care. It’s that free tax payer money that keeps showing up every year

Dang! That’s a lot of money. I wish it’d been spent on something more important to the taxpayers! $127 million on golf trips in the past 3 years.
