Updating Outdated Google My Business Listings

Howdy smart internet people,

I have a quick question about GMB listings. I am an Allstate Insurance Agent that is looking to optimize my google business listing. I have been doing some competitor analysis of how other local insurance agencies run their GMB. While doing so I noticed a few Allstate Agents owners who have went under or sold off their book of business but their GMB is still active. When I click visit website it just redirects to a large Allsate directory for all fifty states instead of the state and agent the user would be actively trying to reach. Would it be unethical to suggest to google to replace their website with my agency website and phone number?

​

All in all the user is trying to reach a local allstate agent and our marketing dept isn't doing a good job of clearing out the old business listings?

​

Is this something businesses tend to do? Or is what I am considering doing wrong?

​

Thanks!

​

Happy New Year!!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs.
