April 2017

After a few UI updates last month, we have included a new update to location status. Availabe now within the Google My Business dashboard is the ability to showcase the current status of a location.  This will resolve ownership conflicts and alleviate location issues.  

Examples of statuses included are:

Claimed: The location is claimed.

Published: The listing can be viewed by the public on Google Search and Google Maps.

Pending Review: Google is currently reviewing the location This status appears for newly claimed or recently updated locations

Pending Google Update: A Google user suggested an edit for the location, or Google has received new information about the location.

Pending Verification: A claim has been initiated for the location, verification steps are in the process of being completed.

Duplicate: The listing is a duplicate of another location.

January 2017

After the release of Google My Businesss Insights as a premium Brandify dashboard view in September 2016, Brandify is excited to announce an update to the existing GMB Insights integration that will allow our clients to view customer actions directly from the Brandify dashboard. 

The updated integration will include the following Insights:

Driving Direction Requests

Brands will now be able to see where on the map customers have requested driving directions to a store location. With Insights about where customers are leading up to a store visit, brands can target specific geographical areas to maximize on potential foot traffic to nearby locations.

Phone Calls

Find out how often customers called your business after finding your local listing on Google. Understand how many calls your location received within a specific time frame in order to prepare phone coverage for future peak business times, and view phone calls over time to understand how local campaigns impacted store phone calls. 

Photos 

Photo Insights show the number of photos associated with a brand's listings and how often they are viewed in comparison to competitors' photos. Measure photos by the number of views they have acquired, or by the number of total photos that have been uploaded. Photos can be viewed from the last 7, 30 or 90 days. 


With the addition of Customer Actions, brands will be able to access key data points from GMB Insights, all without leaving the Brandify dashboard.
