1. Business Name — Accurate and Consistent
- Your business name matches your real-world business name exactly
- No keyword stuffing (e.g., "ABC Plumbing — Best Plumber in Dallas" is a violation)
- Matches the name on your website, social media, and other listings
Why it matters: Google penalizes businesses that stuff keywords into their name. It also cross-references your name across the web — inconsistencies hurt your local SEO. Keyword-stuffed names can get your profile suspended.
How to fix: Edit your business name in GBP to match your legal business name exactly. If competitors are keyword-stuffing, you can report them to Google.
