Important Google Guidelines for Local SEO
Business Location
Your business must use a precise physical address or a clearly defined service area. PO boxes or virtual addresses are not allowed.
Completeness & Accuracy
A complete and accurate profile, including your address, phone number, business category and hours of operation, helps your business appear in local search results.
Business Name
Your business name should match your real-world name. Avoid adding extra keywords, locations, or services in the name field.
Photos & Videos
Upload authentic, high-quality images and videos that represent your business accurately and follow Google’s content policies.
Reviews & Spam
Only genuine customer reviews are allowed. Fake reviews, incentivized reviews, or manipulative listings can result in penalties or removal from Google.
