Guidelines / Best Practices
@searchinfluence
Basics:GUIDELINES○ NO P.O. BOXES. EVER.○ MUST Use Local Phone Numbers
(NO Toll-Free, ex 888, 800, 877)○ All numbers starting with 8 and
ending with two consecutive numbers are toll free. 822, 833, etc.
Guidelines / Best Practices
@searchinfluence
Basics:BEST PRACTICE○ Logos should not be used as profile pictures
○ The Knowledge Graph algo prefers photos of inside and outside of businesses as well as photos of employees.
○ If you want more of a say on what Google shows for your business in the Knowledge Graph, then use this type of photo instead of a logo for profile pictures.
○ SABs can choose whether or not to display address
○ SABs should use "mile radius" map if more than 20 zip codes covered
@searchinfluence
All business locations within the same country must have the same name for all locations.
@searchinfluence
All locations of a business must share the one category that best
represents the business.
@searchinfluence
@searchinfluence
@searchinfluence
Use as few categories as possible to describe your overall core business from
the provided list.Choose categories that are as specific as possible, but representative of your main
business.
@searchinfluence
If the practitioner is one of several public facing practitioners at this location:
The organization should create a page for this location, separate from that of the practitioner.
The page for the practitioner should be titled with name of the practitioner only, excluding that of the
organization.
@searchinfluence
@searchinfluence
@searchinfluence
If a practitioner is the sole public-facing one at this location and represents a branded organization,
the practitioner page should not be separate from the organization’s page.
Instead, create a single page, titled using the following format:
[brand/company]: [practitioner name].

Duplicate Removals / "Merging"● Google My Business support form to remove duplicates - should be rare
-Follow up 1 week later and re-submit request if needed-Google's algorithm catches most duplicates for us
● Merging is not a possibility!!
● Reviews are the only Plus Page data that can transfer between pages - Local Only
● Posts, pictures, followers, or other data can NOT be moved between pages
● YouTube channels move between any page type without data loss, but not merged

TASK TIMING...It's important to understand how many tasks depend upon the Startup Google.
With so many possible delays, we must understand when it's time to get on the phone with Google and just get it done.
