What is the difference between general SEO and local SEO?
General SEO targets broad keywords to rank globally, while local SEO focuses on specific regions and includes Google Maps listings, making it easier to rank because you compete mainly with local businesses.
How many categories should I add to my GMB profile?
You can add one primary category and up to nine secondary categories. Use all available slots but only if they accurately describe your business.
Can I create multiple Google Business Profiles for the same business?
You can, but each requires a unique physical address and verification. Quality matters: profiles need reviews and complete info. Avoid creating spammy or duplicate listings as Google suspends them.
How do I automate Google My Business posts?
Use Claude Code to generate posts, then send them to Google via a free automation tool like Make.com. Connect your GMB account to the webhook and schedule posts daily.
What is a review gate and why do I need one?
A review gate is a filtering form that asks customers to rate you privately. If they give 1-3 stars, the feedback goes to you (not Google) so you can resolve issues. If 4-5 stars, they are redirected to leave a public review.
How do I generate reviews consistently?
Automatically request reviews after every completed service using a CRM that sends email or SMS. Then use a review gate to filter and redirect only positive feedback to Google.
What are service pages and how do I create them?
Service pages are landing pages targeting a specific service in a specific city (e.g., 'Emergency Plumbing Toronto'). Create a matrix of cities × services and have Claude Code generate unique content for each page.
How many service pages should I make?
Start with 10 to 50 and scale up to 400 if you can add unique content. Avoid thin content (duplicate or near-identical pages) as Google may penalize you.
Why is static site generation important for SEO?
Static sites pre-render HTML pages, making them fast to load and easy for Google to crawl and index. This improves your chances of ranking compared to client-side rendered sites.
How do I make AI-generated content sound like me?
Create reference files (tone.md, humor.md, vocabulary.md, beliefs.md) with samples of your own writing (e.g., LinkedIn posts). Claude will extract your style and replicate it in all generated content.
SEONIB automatically generates AEO-optimized pages, embeds schema, and submits them to IndexNow — so your content gets discovered faster by Google and AI answer engines.
