Local SEO GMB Trick?

Hello I recently watched a YouTube video and want to determine if this is a fake growth trick or not. SEO instructor pretty much said if your business name on GMB matches with the search term then you will be the only business to come up for that search term on google.

ex. : New York City Dentist (estimated monthly searches 10,000k)

Ex. GMB Listing name = ( New York City Dentist)

Now will Google ban your GMB listing if the business name doesn't truthfully match your business's name?

On the other hand I have seen this work for search terms in my area so I am wondering if this will work or not for any type of local seo strategy?

I might have not explained this well however if you have a question please ask and I can try to explain to the best of my ability. I have no idea if this works currently and am wondering if others have heard of this?

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

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
