💡 Manage Google Business Profiles Effortlessly at Scale
Handling one Google Business Profile is simple, but managing dozens or hundreds can quickly spiral into chaos. Elizabeth Rule outlines a practical way to scale the process without losing control or accuracy.
1️⃣ Start with secure permissions: Always use a domain-level email for verification. Assign one domain email as the primary owner and another as a backup. For team access, use business groups instead of granting individual permissions. This keeps your profiles organized and reduces risks.
2️⃣ Use bulk verification for multiple locations: If your business operates ten or more storefronts, you can request bulk verification. Submit proof of legitimacy for each address, such as utility bills. Once approved, new listings will be verified automatically, saving you hours of manual work.
3️⃣ Monitor for changes and inconsistencies: Google or the public can suggest edits, and not all are accurate. Set up email alerts to track updates and respond quickly. Keep your website consistent with your Google listings to reduce unwanted changes and maintain credibility.
4️⃣ Maintain NAP consistency and use call tracking wisely: Ensure every location has matching name, address, and phone number details across your website and GBP listings. If you use call tracking, add the tracking number as an additional phone field to avoid triggering suspensions.
The Takeaway
A clean structure, verified access, and consistent information form the backbone of efficient profile management. With these steps, you can handle hundreds of listings confidently while keeping your visibility strong and your reputation intact.
💡 Why B2B Brands Struggle with Influencer Partnerships
Insights from stackedmarketer
B2B brands are eager to collaborate with influencers, but the road from idea to impact is rarely smooth. While budgets are available, proving the value of these partnerships is where most teams stumble.
1️⃣ The real challenge isn’t the spending: Money isn’t the issue; measurement is. According to recent data, 48% of B2B marketers struggle to identify and connect with the right influencers, while 47% find it difficult to measure results. The real headache lies in proving that influencer marketing drives tangible business outcomes.
2️⃣ Operational friction adds to the complexity: Beyond discovery and measurement, managing influencer relationships (40%) and coordinating content (37%) remain top hurdles. This shows that operational efficiency and communication are just as critical as strategy.
3️⃣ The paradox of B2B influencer marketing: Getting a budget is easier than justifying it. Many companies can now secure funds for influencer initiatives, yet tying those efforts directly to ROI remains elusive. The industry still lacks standardized methods to track effectiveness and benchmark results.
4️⃣ Make measurement your foundation: Before launching a campaign, clearly define what success means for your brand. Use UTM links, dedicated landing pages, or unique discount codes to track conversions. The clearer your attribution model, the stronger your proof of performance.
The Takeaway
Influencer marketing in B2B is shifting from hype to accountability. The brands that succeed will be those that treat creators as strategic partners, not promotional tools, and build measurable frameworks that prove real impact.
