Unsolved GMB along with Company Name & URL Change
-
Our company has been purchased. As part of the rollup, our company name will change to theirs and our website will be removed with all web presence being a basic landing page.
I am looking for ideas on how to minizine the huge SEO losses we will have soon.
I plan to focus on local SEO starting with GMB. Any other tips or direction?

I plan to focus on local SEO starting with GMB. Any other tips or direction?To update your company name, website URL, and Google My Business (GMB) listing, access your GMB dashboard, make the required alterations, and potentially re-verify your business. Ensure consistent updates across online platforms, considering SEO and legal aspects. A rebranding strategy might be necessary. Monitor reviews patiently as these changes might take time to propagate across search results and directories.

Congratulations on the company acquisition! Managing the SEO transition is crucial. Your plan to prioritize local SEO and Google My Business (GMB) is spot on. Additionally, consider maintaining social media presence, updating online directories, and redirecting old web pages to the new landing page for a smoother transition.

@jgoethert That is a huge change for your business, if you are not only rebranding but also losing your website. Sterling Sky has a good checklist for rebrands here: https://www.sterlingsky.ca/rebranding-your-business-checklist/
I am curious regarding the role of the website in this. If the GBP (formerly GMB) listing is going to be pointed to the new owner's website, it will be their domain authority which underpins the listing's rankings. If, however they are going to continue pointing the listing toward the downgraded old website, that's a big problem. If that's the case, you will want to be sure that permanent redirects are being put in place to pass as much ranking power as possible from the old pages to the remaining home page. The company should definitely be investigating all of their SEO options to protect the strength of the brand they've acquired, insomuch as it can support the visibility of the overall new brand.

Rankings preferring English URL above local URL
We've recently had a redesign for our website and it has influenced our rankings a little bit. However, what I mainly noticed is that for some keywords in MOZ the English URL is looked at in terms of ranking, instead of the local URL. It used to be just the local URL ranking, even for keywords that are more English oriented, and I'm wondering if that might be hurting our rankings. And more importantly, why it's happening. An example of a page where it's happening is: https://www.bluebillywig.com/online-video-platform/

In 2 days, a loss of 20 reviews
Hi Mozers, I have a cosmetic dentist client, in Belgium, who had 95 reviews. And in 2 days, he lost 20 good reviews (10 reviews per day), from real customers. The problem is that his rating went down drastically because they were only 5 star reviews. Yesterday he got a 5 star review from a real customer and this morning he disappeared. Have you ever experienced such a scenario? What could be the cause? Thank you in advance for your help. Kind regards,

Google's Search Algorithm update to 'Local Snack Pack'
Hi there - I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a big shift in the Google Local 'snack pack' in the past 48 hours? We have noticed a big change in clients results - specifically today. Has anyone else noticed any changes or perhaps data on possible changes? I am aware of this update: https://www.seroundtable.com/big-google-search-algorithm-ranking-update-29953.html but perhaps there maybe another update since. Any input would be much appreciated! Phil.

Can I sync our local listing in Moz with a Google My Busines listing when there are multiple GMB listings?
We working a healthcare facility that has over 30 listings set up in Google My Business, individual listings for each doctor and other healthcare professionals. We are trying to sync with Google My Business, but continue to receive a message about being unable to validate the listing. We've ensured that the information matches in each listing. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any advice on how to get it to sync. I've looked through support documents and not found anything that has helped.

Yellowpages, Yelp, & HotFrog Are All Unavailable.
I have two campaigns running, both of which are giving me error messages when it comes to YP, Yelp, & Hotfrog. It tells me that Moz is unable to communicate with them for listings. How can I fix this? Do I have to create listings manually? http://imgur.com/jWPF60C jWPF60C

We've imported keywords for a campaign & I've noticed a few typos is it possible to correct the typos? Or do I need to delete them & start over?
I'm importing sets of keywords that I've added locations to. Then I'm setting tags based on the city so I can pull a set of 15 keywords for each local market. I've noticed a couple typos that are now coming back to haunt me because I can't find a way to edit the typo without deleting the keyword & starting from scratch. When that happens I need to individually tag the keyword to 60 different locations. (I've spotted 3 typos (ugh - I wish I'd checked those more carefully before). I'm looking for a way to edit the keyword phrases but see how I can do that.
