Download our new Chrome extension: GMBspy
Version 2.0
Chrome Extension
Do you like keeping an eye on your competitors? With one simple click, we show you the current categories for any Google Business Profile (fka Google My Business) page, or now with version 2.0 we show the categories of local search winners for any query. This powerful new capability allows you to see why competitors may be potentially winning in local search.
Winning with Google Business
Today, local SEO (search engine optimization) is about winning with Google Business Profiles (GBP). This does not mean winning on your brand name since Google takes care of that. True winning with GBP is ranking high for non-branded, category search. One of the best ways to rank high on non-branded search, is to take advantage of GBP Categories. If a competitor is out-ranking you on Google search or Google Maps, it may be related to their category choices? With GMBspy, you can peer into the competitor GBP Categories to see why they might be outranking you for key search terms.
