With Google's increasing move toward all things local for search, it's critical to track where your clients' Google Business Profiles rank in Google Local (Google Maps). 

Each AgencyAnalytics Client dashboard offers the ability to track SERPs for unlimited Google Business Profiles.

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

In order for us to provide accurate Google Local rankings as well as 3-pack for Organic and Mobile rankings, it is crucial that you connect a Google Business Profile to our Rank Tracker.

Select the client, then open the Rank Tracker dashboard. From there, click on the setting slider icon in the top right corner to access the Rank Tracker settings.

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

In the pop-up, start typing the business name. Select the correct Google Business Profile from the list, then click Add. This will automatically pull in the listing’s CID.

If you do not see the desired GBP in the list, manually enter the CID for your GBP in the second field labeled Enter Your Business's Google CID, then click Add in the bottom left.

Click the Add button again to repeat the process and add more Google Business Profile CIDs.

To activate Google Local Rankings, select a client and go to rank tracker dashboard. From the rankings dashboard, click on the settings slider and select Google Local Rankings:

GBP rankings will then be displayed under the Google Local heading in the rankings table.

When tracking keywords for different businesses that have the same website URL, incorrect keyword matches can occasionally happen.

Enabling the Enforce Google Business Profile CID Matching setting ensures that the Google Local matches are made exclusively based on your Google Business Profile CID.

To enable this setting, navigate to the Client of your choice, then click Settings in the left-hand menu.

From the Settings page, click Rank Tracker, then click the "Enforce Google Business Profile CID Matching" toggle to turn it on, then click Save in the lower left. Green indicates CID matching will be enforced.
