Utilizing citations, embeds, and links has proven to be effective for improving the ranking of Google My Business (GMB) listings. However, I've come across numerous negative remarks regarding the manipulation of click-through rates (CTR).

Considering Google's approach, it's likely that a combination of various factors plays a role in search rankings. This includes elements such as click-through rate (CTR), citations, links, domain age, keywords in titles and reviews, ALT tags on images, geotagging of images, uniqueness of images, website authority, proximity to the searcher, reviews on other platforms, business hours, and more. Based on my experience, a substantial number of citations, strategic keyword placement in titles and reviews, along with image geotagging, proved to be sufficient for achieving success even in a competitive niche.

It is important to acquire reviews that contain relevant keywords, along with regularly posting on Google My Business (GMB). Instead of purchasing reviews, it is advisable to seek reviews from friends and family members.
