Google Business Profile Profile Strength Widget Now Live & Many Local SEOs Not Happy
Last June, Google began testing a "profile strength" widget or status icon that shows you if you need to do more with your Google Business Profile. Well, that just went live on Friday and seemed to be fully rolled out. But many local SEOs are not happy with it.
So what is the issue? Well, local SEO experts are the ones to know when the profile is complete. Just because a business listing doesn't use every feature, for example ads, it doesn't mean that the profile is not complete.
Now the clients of these local SEOs are reaching out panicked that their profiles are not complete.
Do you have to deal with clients who see this and ask why their profiles are not complete?
