Previous marketer may have gotten a Google Business Profile penalized and I don't know how to help

TL:DR
Google business profile is dead and I don't know how to fix it.

Previously I ran a local children's entertainment business and achieved top results on all the SERP pages. I eventually closed my business (but I am still #1 on SERP). We have about 15 competitors locally and it will pull up some more from near areas.

Since I closed, a previous competitor of mine asked if I would take over the SEO and website from them to try and get them to appear higher. I have only been doing this a few months but we've seen great improvement in all areas EXCEPT the google business profile.

It won't even show up under the same keywords as the website, only if you search the companies name. I found some keyword stuffing initially that I fixed a few months ago but otherwise the profile is complete, has lots of reviews (all 5 star), and tons of pictures both from us and previous customers.

Would love some advice on what other factors could be at play, tools I could use, or just general advice to bring it back from the dead.

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
