Why has my business profile stopped indexing after being top 3 for over a year?

2 replies
Prior to the update a business profile listing of mine was sitting in the top three results and had been for about a year.

The minute the update took place this business profile listing completely stopped indexing. I have checked my listing and there are no issues my profile is still verified and in good standing.

This business profile is a service area business as well.

Any knowledge or possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

    What have you done in the last year to maintain your position? There are only 3 spots and countless other business' vying for those 3 spots. I can tell you its not an "Update" thing... that at best, is coincidental. The 3 Pack is generally just short of live updating meaning... you could do some things and possibly see the results the same day or the next.

    Lets start with the maybe less than obvious...are you checking your listing ( actually physically geographically ) as you always have? Depending on the size of your "Proximity", you might want to take a drive and check with your phone if you are still popping within other areas of your area... or have you lost it all? This type of information will be helpful in assisting you further.

    The more obvious things - I would start with adding photos. Have you gone in and looked since your listing became a "Google Business Profile"? I would double check if there are any sections not filled in - that could be. Adding a video will make your listing stronger.

    Are there New Physical locations in the same business? Do you sell physical products? are you using the Google business Profile to add prodcts to your Profile? ( https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/re...4aAmeqEALw_wcB )

    Again a ton of reasons this type of stuff happens but its not an update.- A list of ALL the major Google updates for years: ( https://www.searchenginejournal.com/...rithm-history/ )

    Hope that Helps! and best of luck - I know its frustrating!
