Why Verifying Your Google Business Profile (GBP) is Essential for Local SEO Success
Why should I verify my Google Business Profile (GBP)?
- You must verify your business listing to update and manage business information, reviews, posts, and images on Google Maps and Google Search.
- A verified profile ensures your business appears in local search results, on Google Maps, and in the Local Pack. This helps potential customers find your business when they search for services in your area.
- Verification gives you control over your profile. Without verification, anyone could suggest edits to your business's information, which may lead to inaccurate details being displayed.
- Google prioritizes verified businesses in local search results.
