Q&A


11:50 The rollout of the custom signals as a stand-alone
service has brought with it a whole bunch of options. When you
add custom signals onto a campaign, those options are not
available. Q1. Will those options be available when you add them
to a campaign? Q2. Can you go into any more detail about those
add-ons? I was pricing out a campaign for a client in NYC, so I
was adding as much juice to it as I could. That was when I
noticed all the new options for custom signals. A little more
info would be awesome.


50:10 Has anyone else starting to see Page Experience in
the search console?


52:06 My friend has a newer gun shop with a gmb, no
website. Tons of messaging from prospects come in. People asking
if stuff is in stock usually.


57:08 Have you tested if having gmb messaging switched on
vs off has an effect on rankings?


1:02:15 CTR manipulation works for local SEO not sure for
maps tho.
