Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of results do you expect to see, and in what timeframe? How do you measure your success?

We expect to see first page above the fold. If your goal was more geared towards driving foot traffic and/or phone calls to your business restaurant or retail store than the focus would be on the map pack and getting your business ranked there first. Pending on your competition, which is way we audit first before providing a quote, will determine a timeframe on seeing results. We have had clients (e.g Stamped Concrete) rank within 1 day and hold position without doing any work for 6+ months and have had clients (Attorney) not rank for 4-6 months. We run Website and SEO Audits to provide an accurate estimate based on knowing your competition, site improvements, and targeted GEO. ​ We measure success FIVE ways:

1. Our software tool that is 100% transparent with the work we perform
2. Google Analytics Goal Tracking
3. Webmaster Tools (Google and Bing)
4. Our secret DVR tool
5. Call tracking

How can I expect to communicate with you? Will you share with me all the changes to make to my site, and provide detailed information about your recommendations and the reasoning behind them?

You may call, email or schedule an in person meeting to discuss updates and direction with your SEO/internet marketing needs. In our SEO reporting software, you will find all the notes on all the changes and updates that we are performing on a daily basis. Any time we suggest to make updates on your website will be explained first before performed. If we are not the developer for your website we will get an estimate from the developer first.

What should I do if there’s more than one business at an address?

If the building is a shopping mall or office building should add a suite number or whatever address modifier they have to help separate themselves.

• PO boxes are still not allowed
• If the building is a house there can only be one business page no matter what.
• If you aren’t sure, just ask us!

What should I do if there’s already an old business verified at my address?

Since that old business should be closed you will want to report that business as closed. Even if that other page is verified once it gets marked as closed you will be able to verify your business at that location.

I have a bunch of stores. What’s the fastest way to get them all verified?

If you have 10 or more storefront locations that need to be verified you are actually eligible for Bulk Verification. This allows you to submit all your location information with a spreadsheet to a specialized team that will process all your verification requests at once.

• Service area businesses do not qualify for this, no exceptions.

I have a bunch of service area businesses. How do I get those set up correctly to ensure faster verification?

If you have multiples in the same area, those should be one page with a service area that’s large enough to encompass the entire area. Having multiple pages with overlapping service areas is a sure way to have your verification rejected or your account suspended. A big corporate phone number is acceptable but if they have it, each page should try to include a local number as well. The information that is on the Google My Business page should be verifiable on the website.

My business does a lot over the phone and/or email?

If you say at least 50% you’re in dangerous territory. If you say at least 75% then that’s too far and they wouldn’t qualify.

• Even though you aren’t eligible for a Google My Business page you can still sign up for a Brand page. You will not show on Google Maps, but you do have potentially worldwide reach through Google Search and the Google+ network.

I am in the process of opening a new location and have added my new address to my account as a Google My Business page. Can I verify it now?

Businesses that are under construction or that have not yet opened to the public are not eligible for a verified Google My Business page. You will want to request verification once your business has opened to the public.

If you show us your business license over a Google Hangout. Is that good enough for D Koder Marketing to use the Trusted Verifier app?

It is not. The only way that would be valid would be if you were able to hand us your business license. Nothing done over a Hangout or text is valid nor are copies sent to us via email. If you can’t shake hands with us we will not be using the Trusted Verifier app.

Where should I go if I have questions about what’s eligible for verification?

1. The best place to start if you’re in a hurry would be the Google My Business guidelines.
