If you have multiple locations or operate within the service industry, this episode is a must-listen.

Whether you're new to managing GBPs or looking to optimize your current strategy, this podcast will provide valuable insights and practical advice to help you stay ahead of the competition. Tune in and learn how to streamline your local SEO efforts and make your business more accessible to customers searching for services "near them."
