Overview
The Multi-Location Keyword Reporting feature allows business owners with multiple locations to view and track keyword performance across all their locations in one centralized dashboard. This provides brand managers with a clear view of which locations are excelling and which may need additional SEO efforts.
Why is Multi-Location Keyword Reporting important?
Previously, brand managers had to review keyword performance for each location separately or rely on external tools or custom reports. With Multi-Location Keyword Reporting, they can easily see all their keyword data in one place, streamlining their SEO strategy and decision-making process.
How to Use Multi-Location Keyword Reporting
Step 1: Create Single Location Local SEO Accounts
Begin by creating individual Local SEO accounts for each location. These accounts will later be added to the Multi-Location group.
Step 2: Ensure PRO Account Status
For businesses that want access to the heat map feature within Multi-Location Keyword Reporting, the individual Local SEO accounts must be PRO accounts. The heat map is exclusive to these accounts and provides additional insights into keyword performance.
Step 3: Add Keywords to Locations
Make sure you’ve added all relevant keywords to each location’s Local SEO account. These keywords will be visible in the Multi-Location Keyword Reporting dashboard.
Step 4: Add Locations to the Multi-Location Group
After setting up the individual accounts and adding keywords, group the locations under the Multi-Location Group. This will aggregate the keyword data from all locations in one place.
Step 5: View Keywords in Multi-Location Group
Once all the locations have been grouped, you can access the Multi-Location Keyword Reporting dashboard to view all keyword data in one comprehensive report.
If you do not wish to enable keyword tracking in your multi-location group, you can turn the feature off by navigating to Partner Center > Multi-Location Groups > Select the Multi-location Group > Features Tab > Toggle off keyword tracking.
By using Multi-Location Keyword Reporting, brand managers can easily identify SEO successes and areas needing improvement, all without the hassle of navigating between multiple accounts or tools.
