With Google's growing focus on local search, it's important to track where your clients' Google Business Profiles rank in Google Local (Google Maps). Every AgencyAnalytics Client dashboard lets you track SERPs for unlimited Google Business Profiles.

If you don't have a Google Business Profile set up yet, you can create one here.

To provide accurate Google Local rankings, as well as 3-pack results for Organic and Mobile rankings, you must connect a Google Business Profile to the Rank Tracker.

You can reach the Rank Tracker settings in two ways. Either method opens the same configuration area.

Step 1: Open the Rank Tracker dashboard and click Settings in the top right corner.

Alternatively, click the slider icon and choose Advanced Settings.

Step 2: From the client settings, click Rank Tracker, then click Add under Google Business Profile Pages.

Step 3: In the pop-up, start typing the business name and select the correct Google Business Profile from the list. Click Add. This automatically pulls in the listing's CID.

Step 4: If you don't see the correct Google Business Profile in the list, manually enter the CID in the field labeled Enter Your Business's Google CID. Learn how to find the CID number for a Google Business Profile. Then click Add in the bottom left.

Step 5: Click Add again to repeat the process and connect more Google Business Profile CIDs.

Once a Google Business Profile is connected, activate Google Local Rankings to see them in your rankings table.

Step 1: Select a client and go to the Rank Tracker dashboard.

Step 2: Click the Settings Slider Icon and select Google Local Rankings.

Google Business Profile rankings will then appear under the Google Local heading in the rankings table.

When tracking keywords for different businesses that share the same website URL, incorrect keyword matches can sometimes happen. Enabling the Enforce Google Business Profile CID Matching setting ensures Google Local matches are based exclusively on your Google Business Profile CID.

Step 1: Go to the client of your choice, then click Settings in the left-hand menu.

Step 2: Click Rank Tracker.

Step 3: Click the Enforce Google Business Profile CID Matching toggle to enable it. A green toggle means CID matching is enforced.

Step 4: Click Save in the lower left.
