Multi-service company losing out to single service 'specialists'

Hi

I work in a business that offers a number of property related services.

I have been doing some research on how well the business ranks in my local area SEO-wise and, as part of that, in the map pack.

In summary, single service companies regularly outrank us. Some using 'dirty' tactics, including - pretending they are based nearby but are using virtual offices, name spamming and (using GMB as one example) putting themselves down as a category they are not actually offering.

I just wondered if anyone else has had this challenge and what they had done to overcome this?

Thank you.

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. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
