Be useful
Share practical local SEO help: GBP tips, ranking diagnostics, review systems, citation advice, and agency workflows. Low-effort promo dumps will be removed.
No link schemes
Reciprocal PBNs, automated link farms, and “exchange only” posts are not allowed. Public profile website links start as nofollow and may become dofollow after 50 karma and a verified email.
Karma board
Karma works like Reddit. Upvotes on your posts raise post karma; upvotes on your comments raise comment karma. Total karma also grows when you publish and when your answer is accepted. Hit 50+ to unlock dofollow profile links. See the public Karma board.
SEO Experts
Add real SEO case studies to your public portfolio from the profile menu (Add SEO project). Peers rate the work 1–5 stars; that drives the SEO Experts ranking. You need at least 10 karma to rate projects. This is separate from karma rankings — proof of work, not post upvotes.
Starting a community
Use Start a community in the sidebar to create your own topic (like a subreddit). You can start up to a few communities per account. Community creators can edit the topic and moderate posts (pin, lock, hide) from the topic page. Use + Create in the header when you want to write a post.
Self-promotion limits
Showcase posts are welcome when they teach something — limited to 2 Showcase posts per rolling 7 days. Pure affiliate spam or unrelated SaaS pitches will be hidden.
Respect people
No harassment, doxxing, or hate. Report problems and let mods handle them.
Questions
Prefer the Question post type when you need help. Mark the best reply as the accepted answer so others can find it fast.
Free for members
Community access is free for every registered GMB Ranker account. No trial or paid plan is required to post, vote, or claim a profile.
