Search rankings and your local listing

A feature

How people find you before they arrive, in the same report as what they did after.

Two more Google properties, connected the same way and reported in the same place.

Search Console covers how you’re doing before anyone arrives: impressions, clicks, the queries you appear for, and where you sit.

Google Business Profile covers your local listing, its ratings and its reviews, which for a shop with a physical presence is often where the first impression actually happens.

Why they belong beside the shop data

Search visibility is a leading indicator and sales are a lagging one. Read apart they’re two stories. Read together, over the same dates, they’re one.

A month where impressions climbed and orders didn’t is a different problem from a month where neither moved, and you can only tell them apart if both are in front of you.

One connection

All four Google properties come through the same sign-in, so it’s one connection rather than four sets of credentials to create and remember.
