If you’re a local business, it’s critical that you maintain both a website that’s well-optimized as well as a Google Business Profile Account. The vast majority of search engine users never scroll or navigate to organic results that find your website… they interact with the map pack on the search engine results page (SERP).
The map pack is the section of the search engine results page that has the map and business listings around your geographic location. It takes up the majority of the SERP and is the primary engagement feature for search users to find local retail outlets and services.
What many businesses don’t understand is that the map pack is purely based on your Google Business Profile account, not your website. In order to maintain high ranking and visibility in the map pack, your business account should be well-maintained with frequent and recent reviews and updates. This is easy to do with their mobile app… but that still requires you to be managing yet another platform when marketing your local business.
How To Syndicate to Google Business Profile
What if your business is maintaining a great WordPress site and blogging regularly? That affords the opportunity to syndicate your content across other platforms, feed readers, and even social media applications using your Really Simple Syndication (RSS) feed.
While touching and optimizing every piece of content for every channel can produce improved engagement and response rates, most companies simply don’t have the resources to do this. This is where automation is ideal – and syndicating your content from your feed to social media platforms is a perfect solution. Most platforms don’t offer an RSS to Google Business Profile option, though!
