If you're a business owner or marketer, having a verified Google My Business profile is crucial for attracting local customers and boosting your online presence. However, one important piece of information you'll need to know is your Google My Business Profile ID, which can be tricky to locate. In this guide, we'll show you exactly how to find it.

Why Finding Your Google My Business Profile ID is Important

Your Google My Business Profile ID is a unique identifier that Google uses to link your business profile to other features, such as Google Maps, Google Search, and Google Ads. Without this ID, you won't be able to access important data and insights about your business, such as how many people have viewed your profile or how many clicks you've received from Google Maps.

In addition, your Google My Business Profile ID is necessary for verifying your business profile, which is essential for gaining a higher ranking in local search results. Google uses your profile information to display your business in the "Local Pack," the three businesses that appear at the top of local search results. By verifying your profile, you'll have a better chance of appearing in this highly coveted spot and attracting more customers.

How to Find Your Business Profile ID

Fortunately, there is a valuable resource available to businesses seeking to improve their online presence through Google My Business (GMB). The GMB Everywhere Chrome Extension is a powerful tool that provides local SEO and GMB audit capabilities, enabling users to quickly and easily evaluate the status of their GMB profile. This allows some free audits a month, so you can use this to find the Business Profile ID.
