      Hi Moz community,

      I hope everyone is well. I would like to ask for your advice on how to show a Google Business listing in both the UK and US for our brand. I understand that you can add multiple locations to your Google listing under the 'Manage Locations' tab but I wasn't quite sure how it worked in practice.  I have a couple of questions below:

      If we have 2 registered locations/offices (one in the UK and one in the US) are we able to create 2 separate locations that will show our business listing correctly in the right-hand margin when people search for our brand in the US and UK respectively?

      If so, when a user finds our business listing in the US, are we able to serve them our US website version when they click the 'Website' button, as opposed to showing them our UK website?  Our US website has been created as a sub-directory from our main UK site and can be seen as: www.example.com/us/

      I hope someone is able to help, and thank you in advance.
      Katarina

                Adding multiple country locations for Google Business Listings allows businesses to expand their online presence and reach customers in different regions. This feature enables businesses to create and manage separate listings for each location, providing essential information such as address, contact details, and operating hours tailored to each specific area. This helps improve local search visibility, making it easier for potential customers to find and engage with the business, regardless of their geographical location.(Project manager jobs)(PMP Exam Prep)( study abroad)

                  To add multiple country locations for Google Business Listings, follow these steps: (study abroad)

                  Sign in to your Google My Business account.

                  Click on the location you want to add a country to or create a new location if needed.

                  In the location dashboard, click on "Info" in the left-hand menu.

                  In the "Address" section, add the primary address for that location.

                  Scroll down to the "Service areas" section and click on "Add service area."

                  (Hospital Management Courses In Canada For International Students)
                  Enter the additional countries or regions you want to include in the service area for that location. You can add multiple countries or specific areas within those countries.

                  Click "Save" to confirm the changes.

                  Repeat these steps for each location you want to add multiple country locations to within your Google My Business account. This allows you to manage listings for multiple locations in different countries under one account. ([Canada PR]

                    @RossKernez, what if you don't have a regionalised domain name?
                    Can you use the same website for both location listings?

                    We have physical offices in the UK and in NZ and want to create a Google Business Listing for each.

                      Hi Ross,

                      Thank you for confirming this - I was hoping this would be the case. I appreciate the help!

                      Many thanks,

                        Hi Katarina,

                        You need to set up two GMB locations. One location has to be in the USA and another one has to be in the UK. Also, you have to have a physical location in both countries in order to receive the postcards from Google and verify your listings.

                        You can add www.example.com/us/ version of the site to the "website field "in the GMB, and you add a regular version of the site to another GMB( UK Version).

                          Google My Business answers not appearing

                          We've been trying to use the GMB Q&A feature as a lot of customers seem to be engaging with the listing/asking relevant questions. However, sometimes we answer a question directly from the business listing account but it does not appear (no error message is shown when posting either). When we go to re-post the answer, the text is sometimes still visible in the answer box field. Any ideas what might be causing the issue?

                          Where does the small description on a business listing come from in google maps?

                          Facebook Locations - Good or Bad for Local Rankings?

                          Our company has multiple (3) offices, including our headquarters, and each has its own Facebook page. Other than the primary company page, the other two locations have only been claimed and do not have posts, reviews, check-ins, etc. Now, Facebook recently granted us access to Facebook Locations, which, if I understand correctly, would remove 2-out-of-3 office pages and add a "Locations" tab to our primary company page where people can see the other offices. _See Starbucks Example: https://www.facebook.com/pg/Starbucks/locations/?ref=page_internal _ I've read mixed reviews regarding using the Locations feature, but nothing definitively answers whether or not this would negatively affect local rankings. Does anyone have firsthand experience going from individual business pages to a single parent business page with Locations? Is there any trustworthy documentation out there about this?

                          Disadvantages to Hiding Business Address on Google Places?

                          From a Local SEO standpoint, wouldn't hiding a business address on Google Places for Business create an SEO disadvantage in that I would expect in the local portion of the search results, there would be a bias to showing businesses that have not hidden their address as then you can place a pin on the map at the location?  Or from a Local SEO standpoint does it not matter if you hide your address or not?

                          Hello, I have number of websites in different locations with different business name and address with verified listings. However, I am thinking to use the same phone number on all the websites as it is difficult for me to keep track of all the numbers. So, is it okay to use the same phone number on different websites with different business name and address? Waiting for your thoughts. Brian

                          Removing Unverified Listing From Google

                          We have an old unverified listing that has our information on it, but we can't get it off google. I told them months ago it was closed, and it is marked as closed in Google...but it still shows up. Moz Local is telling me this is an inconsistency that hurts our local rankings. I went to delete the page from our Google Business/Place, but if I did that, the warning said that I would just not have access to the page, and that the listing would still show up on google. How do I permanently get rid of those thing, so it's not longer an inconsistent listing? Ruben

                          Adding each location business info to directories. There are same services and everything for each location. Should we keep the same description for all listings or different for each location?
                          Should we indicate Home Page URL (with 800 number, no address in footer) or location URL?
