Google My Business app search report
-
What is the deal with the search reports in the Google My Business app? I downloaded this app so prospective customers could message my business, and when I look at the search reports on the app, the results seem nonsensical. According to google analytics my business receives pretty steady traffic every day. Why does the report say that I receive zero visitors one day and 400 the next? (See the screenshot below)

Your business needs to have a Google My Business account,
This will help to improve a business's local SEO.
This helps improve your local SEO, by stating your company's name, the address, and phone number which can help improve the business's SEO .

Hi Randy,
Hope this clarifies the Google My Business report features.
Although Google My Business belongs to Google as well, GA and GMB are different tools/platforms.
Therefore, the reports of GMB are related to the interactions of the searchers with your Google My Business listing and/or your Google Maps listing, i.e. people that saw your Google My Business or Google Maps and if they called you, or went from there to visit your website. https://www.google.com/intl/en/business/
On the other hand, Google Analytics counts all the traffic that actually went into your website. That includes, organic traffic, direct traffic, social traffic, referral traffic, etc.
Let me know if this is clear enough. All the best,
Mª Verónica

Google is reporting a server error, but there's no server error.
Google is erroneously reporting a server error and I just can't figure out the source of the issue. My links work, and GoDaddy ensures me there is no server error. This issue arose when I moved from HTTP to HTTPS and CPanel hosting, but I've got no idea how to fix it. I thought maybe I have duplicate content, but it does not appear that way. Any suggestions? I'm at a loss. www.thedishmaster.com

Google Docs Paranoia
Recently, there has been a lot of great information on SEOmoz about using Google Apps, Docs, etc. However, I suffer from Google paranoia (the fear that Google can see what's going on in my Google products). Is this fear unreasonable? Should I be concerned about using Google Apps, docs, analytics, etc. for SEO data (including keyword position tracking, back link analysis, etc)?

Tracking Referring Sources - Google Analytics - Ecommerce
I need some help from anyone that has deal with this issue before.. We are currently running BigCommerce for the shopping cart on chinamist.com. We have enabled e-commerce tracking through Google Analytics and the revenue tracks perfectly. The only issue is that the referring sources are not tracking directly to the revenue being displayed - for the source, all analytics shows is (none). The assumption is that the tracking issue is a result of having a domain and subdomain.. but 'domain and subdomain' was selected when setting up the sites' advanced analytics script. Does anyone have any tips? We've run into a dead end here.. One final note, we're running an Adwords campaign which is showing conversions through the Adwords side of reporting. After integrating the Adwords and Analytics accounts, the analaytics account is still not showing revenue/conversions from Adwords as a source. Appreciate the feedback.
