Update 102: Review Recency, Category Dilution & more

Main Updates

Hey everyone, we just added some updates to GMB Everywhere.

๐Ÿ“‰ Review Recency

  • New Data Fields: We updated the 'Review Audit' to show exactly how many reviews a business received in the Last 30 Days, 6 Months, and 1 Year.
  • Why it matters: Review recency has become a more important ranking factor. This new data helps you instantly see if a listing is fresh or if it has gone stale.

๐Ÿš€ Teleport is now 'Rank Check'

  • New Name: We renamed "Teleport" to Rank Check so it is immediately clear what the tool does.
  • Instant Location Updates: You can now check rankings for different locations directly on the tool page, you dont need even the Chrome Extension. No need to navigate away to change settingsโ€”just do it right there: [Rank Check]

โš–๏ธ Category Dilution Experiment

  • The Question: Does adding more categories dilute the strength of your Google Business Profile? We ran a case study to test this exact theory.
  • The Result: Interestingly, adding more categories did not dilute strengthโ€”in fact, it helped with overall traffic. You can see the full results here: [Case Study]

๐Ÿ“– New Public Roadmap & Updates Page

  • Transparency First: We've launched a dedicated portal where you can track our development progress, vote on new feature ideas, and view our full changelog.
  • Have Your Say: We are continuously improving our tool. If you have any suggestions or feature request, please feel to provide it to use over here: [roadmap.gmbeverywhere.com]
