Google is surfacing non-urgent care facilities for urgent care searches on Google Maps. How can I fix this?
Hi Marty, This is definitely not okay. Please answer a couple of questions for me. Does Instacare have a physical location in Sandy, UT? You are referring to "instacare near me" as a search people would make looking for urgent care. Does your research indicate that people in this area actually search for "instacare" instead of "urgent care" or "ER" when they have urgent healthcare needs? Is this only happening for the search "instacare near me" in Sandy, UT, or are you saying this is happening for multiple facilities in multiple cities? Have you contacted Google about this? If so, how did you contact them and what did they say?

How to rank in Google against a business with the same name?
Thank you for bringing the question to the forum. This will not likely be the answer your client is hoping to hear, but they should likely rebrand. If an authoritative recruitment agency in a major city is already dominant for this brand, your client made a branding mistake. Without knowing all of your client's particular circumstances, my best advice is that it would likely be much better for them to cut their losses now and rebrand (after carefully researching whether their new name is truly unique) rather than committing to spending all of their future years in business at such a huge disadvantage. They could also possibly end up in court if the competitor decides they are infringing on their trademark. While there's a small possibility that, with enough money, your client could try to surpass the online authority of its competitor, it's not a fight I would choose to take on, because it's based on a mistake that should have been caught before the client named its company. Fighting on the basis of a mistake is a waste of time and resources that could be better spent building up the unique brand in the coming years. If the client does choose to rebrand, advise them to choose a completely different brand name, so as not to get caught up in further confusion with their former brand or their competitor.

Old domain to new domain what happens to the old site?
Hi there, You should not turn the old hosting since it is better to have that redirect on the server level than on a registrar level. Ross

Should I noindex shop page and blog page for SEO?
You should index the page, we do not understand very well what you mean, if you throw away a blog and a shop because you do not want to index it? The most normal is to put no index on pages that we do not care as for example the legal notice or the cookie policy

Hi there, Thanks for writing us and sorry to hear about your troubles. You can find helpful documentation regarding the Moz Local tool here: https://moz.com/help/moz-local Unfortunately, at this time additional user access is a function limited to Moz Pro. Seated users on your account won't be able to access your Moz Local listings which is why you are not seeing anything regarding multi-seat functionality. Customizable reports are not something that is currently offered via Moz Local but we can definitely pass along all of your feedback to our Product team for future updates. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reach out to us at help@moz.com. Apologies for the inconvenience!
