Notes
### Google Account Landscape - Multiple Google accounts causing significant confusion and overlap - annashelander@worldviewcreative.com — legacy account from old marketing company; currently the "master" account with access to all 3 Google Business profiles - worldviewcreative@gmail.com — linked to Google Ads grant account; kept alive solely for that purpose - curingalzheimersdisease@gmail.com — main working account; holds primary Google Drive with most business files - Each account has its own Google Drive, creating duplicate storage and defaulting issues on local PC - IT company originally set up Google Ads under worldviewcreative@gmail.com — not ideal but can't easily change without risking the grant account ### Google My Business — Status & Decisions - Had two near-identical listings for Curing Alzheimer's Disease Foundation — likely triggered suspension - Suspended listing: deleted during this session - Had ~187 interactions and some reviews, but suspension deemed not worth fighting - Google support is effectively inaccessible; appeals can take months - Remaining listing: pending verification, address corrected to full Stillwater address during session - More complete profile (more service areas, social media, etc.) — the one to keep - Logo updated to CAD Foundation logo - Key insight: address format must be consistent across all directories — Google cross-references to confirm legitimacy ### Google Ads Grant Account - Account number ending in 591 (3288 prefix) — the legitimate nonprofit grant account - ~$591 in available credit; currently running test campaigns - Accidentally created a second paid ads account (December 13) — cancelled during session - Nick added as a user (standard access) to the grant account - worldviewcreative@gmail.com remains the account owner/creator but Nick can now access it directly - Removed the IT company's user access from the grant account ### Content & SEO Strategy — Flags Raised - Running two separate domains: curingalzheimersdisease.com (main) and curing-alzheimers.com (blog/testing) - Duplicate or near-duplicate content across both domains risks Google penalty - Splitting content dilutes SEO authority — all effort pointing to one domain is stronger - Suggestion: consolidate blog under a subdomain (e.g., blog.curingalzheimersdisease.com) rather than a separate domain - Back-linking from curing-alzheimers.com to main site may no longer be effective — Google has likely caught on to this tactic ### Storage & Drive Cleanup - worldviewcreative@gmail.com drive: 877 GB used, 4 TB total — mostly old/duplicate files from IT migration - curingalzheimersdisease@gmail.com drive: primary working drive, ~100 GB plan, not near capacity - Two drives synced to local PC causing constant defaulting to wrong drive - Anna's priority: preserve photos/images only from old drives; files can be recreated or are already duplicated ### Email & Workspace — Path Forward - Current branded email: info@curingalzheimersdisease.com via Microsoft 365 Essentials (~$100/yr, 1 account) - Cannot be used directly with Google properties (not a Gmail/Workspace account) - Recommended long-term setup: Google Workspace under curingalzheimersdisease.com - Anna as admin, sub-accounts for 12 board members as they join - Board members could use Outlook or any client — it's still a Google Workspace account underneath - Each user costs ~$9-16/month ### Next Steps - Anna (Info) - Send Nick the Word doc with account inventory - Change worldviewcreative.com account profile logo to the Worldview Creative logo (visual distinction) - Review files in Worldview Creative drive — pull out any photos/images worth keeping, move to CAD drive - Monitor pending verification on the remaining Google Business listing - Consider consolidating blog content strategy (pin for next session) - Nick - Reorganize Anna's account inventory doc into a clean Google Sheet with accounts, purposes, and ownership mapped out - Think through consolidation plan: which email becomes the parent account for all Google properties going forward - Research how to remove a synced Google Drive from a Windows PC (to fix the defaulting issue) - Accept Google Ads account invitation (already sent) - Next meeting: Tuesday, April 7 — 12-1 PM Nick's time (2-3 PM Anna's time)
