Why You Need to Report Google My Business Data

You can now add Google My Business data to your report to share your local SEO results in a clear and concise PDF file with your client or team.

You can easily collect full-scale SEO data in one place — combining Google My Business, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and data from various Semrush tools.

Google My Business Report: What Data You Can Add

There are five widgets that you can embed into your report:

1. Overview allows you to see the actions people are taking when they see your listing. Searches and views are important, however, you should also keep track of customer engagement, including things like requests for directions and phone calls. Using this information, you can show your clients how their audience engages with their business 

1. Search vs Map View lets you see what Google services people use to find your business, either through Google Search or Google Maps.
   

1. Customer Actions helps you dive deep into how users interact with your listing when they find it — actions are divided into several types:

• Website clicks: Track the number of clicks to your website or your client's website;
• Requests for directions: Track how many times clients have asked Google Maps for directions to your address;
• Phone calls: Find out how many times users clicked on your business's phone number.

1. Searches is a pie chart that shows you how people find your local business profile, through Direct, Discovery or Branded search.

1. Calls gives you an idea of when users are calling your company, broken down by day of the week and hour.

All of this data can be displayed for any available configurable time period and can be aggregated across multiple locations (unlimited).
