slide 1: Reasons for Google My Business search queries don’t match with
Search Console
Google My Business:
Google My business is the tool for businesses and organizations to maintain their
presence in Google Search and Maps. It is used to verify and tell the story of your
business which helps the users to fnd your business.
Google Search Console:
Google Search Console is a free service ofered by Google that helps you to monitor
and maintain your site’s presence in Google Search results.
Here is the reason that why google my business search queries don’t match search
console.
Google My Business launched the Search Queries in July of 2018 but they didn’t
become available for everyone until the end of August.
UTM code:
UTM code is the code which is placed at the end of the URL to check the campaign
name medium and source.
As we know that UTM code is great way to see the results of your ofine marketing
and it use to separate the trafc by just adding into your website feld in Google My
business. Search console show the trafc from the google my business along with
the organic trafc.
slide 2: The result of this data helps you to know that where to spend more eforts since the
two algorithms are getting increasingly diferent. These algorithms were related to
on-site content quality more than backlinks.
There is a relationship between the sites that rank organically and listing that rank in
the local results. But in this update it is not seen any relationship at all. If the sites
had organically increased that did not simultaneously have increased in local
rankings and vice versa.
But if both organic and local are ranked than two impressions will be counted by
search console of your site. But you can break this by using UTM codes.
As we know that the Google my business is reporting on unique users and the search
console is reporting on impressions. Both are extremely diferent.
According to Google’s Help Center When your URL appears in a search result for the
user it will record as impression.
When your business is appeared in the search result with or without the link of your
website. When your listing show in the result without your website URL Google my
business will add to the report. But Search Console won’t.
Let consider that In the Google My business insights show the 10 unique users. But
in the Google Search console it only Showed one impressed.
The reason behind this mobile searches mostly return 3-packs which don’t have the
website feld displayed.
slide 3: Even some of the desktop searches also return 3 packs that show the images
instead of website link.
In both the cases Google search console will not reported as the impression but the
Google My business will reported on search result.
