How Bad Data Is Affecting the Google Business Profile – A Real-World Example Included

Bad Data Is Affecting the Google Business Profile

We’ve got a story from an Advice Local partner who witnessed first-hand the frustrations of bad data impacting a Google Business Profile.

Bad Data Is Impacting This Business in Google Maps and the Local Pack

Experiencing ongoing frustration with a Google Business Profile that they manage, one of our Advice Local partners reached out to us for help. The business they represent moved locations in April 2021.
