    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: Company listing is showing in search instead of division address - similar names/same city

                        Hi! I have a client whose company name is very similar to one if their company divisions. This division has multiple locations but its main location is in the same city as the parent company. The problem is that when you search for the division, the parent company shows up. The parent company has a physical address, but most users searching need to be going to the division address which takes customers. They are having problems with customers coming to the parent company address instead. I have made the Google My Business parent company page to show service areas instead of their business address. Yet, their listing still comes up first when searching for the division location. This is because of part of the parent company name is in the division name. My client wants users to be able to find the division more so than the parent company. Anyone had this issue before? Any tips would be great!

                        How Do I Remove Address from Google Business Page?

                        Not very up to date in handling local listings, so here's my situation. I have an office that is not going out of business, but instead going virtual. So that physical address will no longer exist but the team is intact. So I am dealing with the Google Business Listing page for this office at https://business.google.com/ In the "Published on" section, it has Google Search, Google Maps, and Google+. I want to remove it from Maps and the address from this account. There's an address for this store, but editing it only seems to allow changing, but not removal. There is also the option of "Mark as Permanently Closed", but surely that isn't the best option since that will leave a nasty red "PERMANENTLY CLOSED" in the results when searching. What's the best course of action here?

                        Business Name Not Showing Up in Google's Maps

                        I have a client whose name in not currently showing up on Google maps. Their business location only shows once their name or related keywords are searched, but their business name does not show when you only look for it on the map regardless of how far zoomed in you are to the actual location.  I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or knows of a way to fix this. I have already contacted Google multiple times, and they told me that “business’ names are just randomly pulled”. The client is an HVAC store front business with good rankings and a fully optimized Google profile, so these reasons did not answer the issue. Client’s GMB profile: https://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome-psyapi2&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8&q=rothheating oak creeek&oq=rothheating oak creeek&rlz=1C1JPGB_enUS685US685&aqs=chrome..69i57j0.5919j0j4 DBZfF

                        Google My Business for 2 Websites With the Same Location

                        Hi,
                        My client has two separate websites with different business names but under one location and phone number. The websites are for two separate services that he offers.
                        My question is that if creating two Google+ for business pages for the two businesses bad for their SEO or local ranks?
                        And what about creating local listings for both?(This does not seem logical to me personally!!)
                        Thank you for the kind answers in advance.

                        Hi there Can someone tell me if the description serves a purpose in the google my business profile since:
                        a) It is not displayed anywhere as far as i have seen (maps, 3 pack local results, knowledge graph, organic results)
                        b) It is no longer considered as a ranking factor since it was abused so much Thanks

                        Citation building for multiple locations

                        Hey everyone, I think i've got a good handle on citations, but had a question regarding multiple locations. I'm going to be doing citation building for a local lawyer, and he's got 4 locations. I'd like to build citations for each of his locations, but I was wondering if the business name needs to change? Ie. If I am building citations for Town 2 and Town 3, should the business name be listed as "Company Name Town 1" for the first location, and "Company Name Town 2" for the second? Or is it fine to use the company name throughout all citations, and just change the location/phone number to the location based info? I'm just worried about Google seeing differing info, but the same company name, and possibly penalizing me for it. Thanks in advance!

                        If there are no Google Places / Local listing for a keyword search term, for example... "web design vancouver", do building citations still help in enabling websites to move up the organic rankings?
