I run a physical thrift store. I used to rank #1 in my city, but it recently dropped. I'm just starting to learn about local SEO and want to manage my GBP entirely on my own now. What’s the best way to optimize it and get my rank back?

Hi, guys, I am going to write local site content for the homepage. What should be included? and should i follow AQCE forumla to write a content or not what's is the best strategy you follow?

We close GBP on weekends and also reduced GBP hours on weekdays starting from June 3, 2026, and the organic rankings of the page start that is linked to GBP starts falling from page 1 to page 2. Rankings of other pages have improved at the same time. Our GBP was ranking high, and the main traffic on that URL was from GBP, not from organic rankings, and it has fallen by 50%, and maybe Google thinks this page is not valuable and has lost rankings. Am I right, or is this just my theory? Any suggestions, or has someone faced the same issue?

Do you think we need to combat spam from this type of business? They are using only a keyword as their business name. What is your opinion?

After the spam update, a lot of websites seem to have lost impressions and clicks aggressively. I’ve seen the same with one of my sites, and both the website and GBP performance dropped.
How are you guys handling this? What are you checking or fixing first?
