To your success, Chaz and the Entire Team This Week in the Lab with SEO Mad Scientist Closing and Reopening a GBP, What Happens? What happens when you mark a business temporarily closed? Do you lose all your rankings? Welcome back to another update, SEO mad scientist! This week we will look at what happens when you mark a GBP listing as temporarily closed. Also, what happens when you make it open again… This is a fun test because it's something we rarely get to do with clients, as we can't go closing their GBP listings to see how they react… At the same time, we have received many questions from clients about marking a business as closed or temporarily closed and how it can impact them. So let's take a look and find out! Here we have our active listing that we marked temporarily closed on 8/17/2022. Similar to our current GBP indexation test, it took about 3 days for our GBP to respond to the change, and Google stopped showing the business in search… You can see the ranking drop when you look at the Geo grid rankings. However, even though some terms fell off completely, there are some main terms that Google still seems to be showing… The exact category term and various terms we were ranking for due to services, products, and posts seem to have all lost ranking, while some term variations and longtail still show. These are probably lower-traffic terms and may take longer for the rankings to update. As we can see, all traffic has stopped. The weirdest ranking is probably for our primary “brand” term, which is “merchandising.” This is a keyword and is part of our brand being “Simple Merchandising Co.” Because people may still be searching for our brand, and Google must show them the company to tell them that it is closed, we believe this is why these terms are responding so weirdly. The following geo grids were all taken within 24 hours. As we monitor the ranking over the next few days, we will see if we observe any more rankings drop off. Then we will be looking to answer the real question, “Will our rankings return completely when we reopen the business?” Join us next week for another exciting update with the SEO mad scientist, and until then, happy testing!
