What Is Google Business Profile Optimisation?
Google Business Profile optimisation is the work of completing, correcting and updating your free business listing on Google Search and Google Maps. It helps you show up in more searches, including the Google Maps 3-Pack, the top three map results on Google Search, and helps customers choose you. GMB optimisation means the same thing: Google renamed Google My Business to Google Business Profile in 2021.
How GBP Optimisation Can Lift Your Google Maps Ranking
Google ranks local results mainly on relevance, distance and prominence (Google Business Profile Help), as our Google Maps ranking factors guide explains. Google Maps ranking optimisation starts with your profile. Five tactics we use in competitive districts:
Category first. Local search experts rank the primary category as the number one local ranking factor, so we compare yours with the profiles ranking above you.
A steady flow of reviews. Fresh reviews and replies signal an active business, so we request reviews after visits, not in one-off pushes.
Profile and website match. Each profile links to the right outlet page, and we flag details on your site that don't match.
A cleaner map. Fake listings and keyword-stuffed names crowd you out, so we report them through Google's redressal form.
Ready for AI answers. Google's AI in Maps answers questions using your profile, reviews and website, so we keep your profile complete, reply to reviews and flag site gaps.
Tactic #1 reflects Whitespark's local ranking-factor survey. Fake and spam listings can be reported through Google's Business Redressal Complaint Form.
