How Google Ranks GMB Listings
Google uses 3 factors to rank Google Business Profiles: Relevance (how well your profile matches the search), Distance (how close you are to the searcher), and Prominence (how trusted and popular Google thinks you are). Our GMB SEO service improves all 3 factors systematically.
