Frequently Asked Questions – Premium Local SEO Suite
What is a Google Business Profile (GBP)?
Google Business Profiles are a Google-hosted business directory tool. Companies and businesses can use their profile as a local landing page with information about their business, products, contact information, and much more. This profile houses your business information to help potential customers find, learn more about and interact with your business.
Why is leveraging Google Business Profiles (GBP) important?
Claiming and verifying your GBP listing is extremely important for businesses on many levels. A few examples are listed below:
- It bridges connections and unlocks features across the Google family of products. For example, one requirement of the metric “Store Visits” being eligible to show is connecting your GBP account with your Google Ads account, and your location must be verified.
- It improves your local SEO efforts by increasing your opportunity to show up in direct search (i.e. your company name) and local discovery search (i.e. Ford dealer near me).
- Optimizing your GBP profile provides more tracking capabilities. Your SEO efforts will be tagged in your Google Analytics for better reporting and you’ll be able to track more business outcomes generated from SEO efforts (i.e. GBP phone calls, website visits, direction requests).
- You’ll have more opportunities to connect with ready-to-buy customers by making it easy for customers to connect with your dealership virtually, over the phone, and in person.

What’s a NAP record & why is it important?
NAP stands for “name”, “address” and “phone number”. Having this business information filled out on listing sites across the web (i.e. GBP, Bing Places, Yelp, YP.com, Facebook, etc.) helps search engines find your business, which in turn, helps shoppers find your business. Having a consistent NAP record across the board positively impacts local SEO efforts and helps to limit/eliminate duplicate listings.
