Is Local SEO setup redundant if I already have a Google My Business profile?

    Hi,

    We have already setup a Google My Business account for our website.

    However, In WordPress > Rank Math > Titles and Meta > Local SEO
    RankMath asks for details like the business email, address, opening hours etc.
    If I fill this information in, is it going to conflict with my Google My Business listing?
    Where exactly does this information display on Google?
    Thanks

  • Hello,

    Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for the delay.

    The Local SEO data will be included in your website’s local schema, and My Business from Google doesn’t take the data from the schema.

    Local SEO also helps to keep your Google My Business (GMB) profile as accurate as possible so that it’s trustworthy, attractive, and has a better chance of appearing in the local pack. With an up-to-date Google My Business profile, you’ll be able to attract and engage a broader audience thereby increasing the website traffic. So, no need to worry about conflicts with filling the Local SEO data.

    I hope that helps. Thank you, and please don’t hesitate to contact us anytime if you need further assistance with anything else.

    Thank you for your reply 🙂

    So am I correct in saying filling out this information in RankMath adds local business schema to every page?

    Many Thanks
