Potential Cause
-
If the business is a Service Area Business (SAB), the issue might arise from a misalignment between:
- The keywords being targeted.
- The address is listed in the business profile.
How the Map Works:
-
-
- The business address listed in the profile serves as the center point for the map area displayed in Local Grid searches.
- If the targeted keywords correspond to a region far from the listed address, no rankings will appear within the grid.
-
Workarounds to Improve Local Grid Results
-
Align Keywords with Business Address:
- Update the targeted keywords to focus on the area surrounding the listed business address.
- This ensures the keywords match the map's central area and improves visibility in search results.
-
Change the Business Address (Use with Caution):
- Consider updating the business address to a location closer to the region targeted by the keywords.
- Important: This approach is not recommended as it may impact the accuracy of the business listing and lead to issues.
Best Practices
- Prioritize aligning keywords with the current address for accurate and effective results.
